Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness is formerly known as World’s Best Workforce, a bill that passed in 2013, strives to ensure every school district in the state is making strides to increase student performance.
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Goals
The Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness legislation requires districts to set at least five goals.
These five goals revolve around:
All children are ready for school.
All third-graders can read at grade level.
All racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed.
All students are ready for career and college.
All students graduate from high school.
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Plan
Each district is required to create their own plan to align curriculum and instruction so that students are college and career ready. The success of each plan will be measured by:
Local assessment data
NAEP scores
Closing the gap by student group
Early childhood assessment data
MCA scores
College entrance exams
Finally, the legislation has changed in scope and now is the umbrella under which several programs fall, including staff development, teacher and principal evaluation, Q-Comp, and high potential. Separate reports on those programs are shared with the board throughout the year. Equitable access to excellent teachers is unique to this report alone.
Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness Annual Meeting
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 120B.11, school districts are required to hold an annual meeting regarding progress made toward Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness goals. During the Annual Meeting, the District presents the Comprehensive Achievement and Civic Readiness goals and results, along with strategies and initiatives that the District engaged in to meet the goals.
