Partnerships for College Readiness

As states begin to implement the Common Core State Standards, there will be a greater need for collaboration between districts and their partners to support students, especially as many school districts are simultaneously facing a time of increased budget austerity. While prior research has focused on after-school and higher-education collaborations with districts, there has been less written about collaborations that are specifically focused on college readiness. This study provides useful examples for districts and cities considering greater collaboration around data and indicators related to college readiness.
