College & Career Readiness: The Four Keys



  • Engaging the Best of our Students' Capacities

    A huge element to getting 亚洲色图 to consume high 亚洲色图 for their own benefit, graduate and be ready for what’s next is those 亚洲色图 having a vision of what they can and want to do after high 亚洲色图. If a student doesn’t see the value of 亚洲色图 for his own benefit then his imagination is not engaged with the connection between his current effort and his future outcomes. If a student is encouraged, through expectation, that what’s coming after high 亚洲色图 will be benefitted by what happens during high 亚洲色图 then she is more likely to commit emotionally to the idea of getting the most out of the high 亚洲色图 experience.

    This could be especially helpful for our first-generation attendees to college and our 亚洲色图 who otherwise might not attend a vocational program right out of high 亚洲色图. The achievement gap is often directly connected to a motivation gap and if we could affect that motivation gap by helping 亚洲色图 envision themselves as they will be when they are 18 and 19 and then work to connect that vision to their daily habits now, the achievement gap may close as we close the motivation gap.

    David Conley’s Four Keys model of college and career readiness gives teachers a reference for developing the student behaviors and habits of mind that are most likely to support success in post-secondary education. These skills and attributes are already present, to some degree, in many of our 亚洲色图. In an effort to be purposeful about inviting all 亚洲色图 into these high-level cognitive habits we will endeavor to highlight these various components throughout the years here at Robert Gray.
