Students who are ready for career and college understand what will be expected of them when they get to the next step in their career journey, and are prepared academically, socially and emotionally. The measurements we use to track college- and career-readiness look beyond test scores, and evaluate a student’s learning comprehension, character traits and workforce habits.
Students who are ready for college have reached a level of academic skill (competency) and are able to enroll, be successful and graduate from college without the need for remediation classes. DPS offers many services to prepare students for college.
Career-readiness means students can demonstrate certain workforce skills that will contribute to their success in the workplace. Through career-related learning experiences at DPS, students can apply their intellectual abilities with professional traits and go on to be successful in their adult lives.
In DPS, students are challenged to develop their 21st century skills, which are the fundamental reading, writing and communication abilities students must apply in today’s rapidly-changing world to be successful in the workforce.
