In this brief, Erik Rice identifies three strategic practices schools, districts, and communities can use to help prepare students for college and career success:

 

 

  • To collectively articulate and align a set of student outcomes that prioritize 21st century skills, 
  • Transform defined outcomes into functioning frameworks for curriculum and instruction and student support, and 
  • Measure student mastery of outcomes through the implementation of authentic, performance- based assessment.
