College, Careers, Citizenship
College, Careers, Citizenship
"College and career ready" has become a catchphrase for public schools. But what does it actually mean? It makes sense for schools to hold themselves accountable not just for student proficiency scores and graduation rates but also for students' success after graduation. But many educators are concerned that high schools are now treating college as the only desirable option and neglecting career and citizenship goals.
ASCD Express is looking for short, 600 to 1,000-word essays on the theme "College, Careers, Citizenship."We are looking for articles describing how high schools are helping all students set and achieve high college, career, and citizenship goals; providing challenging career-readiness courses, apprenticeships, career academies, and partnerships; and furthering 21st century learning skills.
Guidelines for submissions are here. Please send us your submissions by January 9, 2012.
