About Us
NCEA joined with ACT, Inc. last year to expand and strengthen our impact on raising student achievement based on a higher college and career readiness (CCR) standard. While we share the belief that all schools and districts have the potential to prepare their students for college and skilled careers, our research shows that students must be on the college and career readiness ramp much sooner in order to ensure all students graduate with meaningful options. Together we are building innovative tools and resources for PreK-12 educators to help them benchmark for greater student success.
NCEA and ACT will release a new, online, CCR-focused service during this school year, designed to help schools and districts assess their current practices and determine how those practices are impacting student achievement. It will include resources JFTK website users are accustomed to seeing, along with helpful information tied to their performance and practices and a method to comprehensively study and record where improvement may be necessary. Our goal for this service is to complement existing school and district plans and processes to improve performance and address practice issues. Updates on this exciting new service will be available on our website later this fall.
