College and Career Ready means an individual has the academic

preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and

employability skills to be successful in postsecondary

education, in the attainment of an industry recognized

certification or in the workforce, without the need for

remediation.


Kansas Summative Assessment

Should tie in with the State Boards definition of College & Career Ready

Should be meaningful to students. Must be appropriate for ALL students. Should be rigorous, and provide

meaningful/timely data Should have flexibility at the local level.


Options for the KCCRAAC to Consider

1. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium for 3-8 and H.S. (CETE will score, administer, and report) 2. Assessment Vendor, e.g. ACT for 3-8 and H.S. 3. Hybrid Assessment Model (i.e., the state will provide a default assessment and allow districts if they so choose to use another USED approved assessment funded by the district) 4. CETE-developed Assessment for 3-8 and H.S
