What are the skills necessary to make a student both college and workplace ready?
The business community has been clear about what students should know and be able to do. Achieve Inc.’s American Diploma Project has, for example, established detailed benchmarks that define the knowledge needed for a student to graduate high school. In short, students must possess a combination of academic and applied skills, including the ability to read, write, communicate (in English and another language), calculate, problem solve, and work in groups.
