2008 Oklahoma Education Findings
• 2007 – 2008 Statewide graduation rate = 79.8%*
(Source: Profiles 2008 State Report, Office of Accountability, April 2009)
*Number of 2007-08 graduates divided by 2003-04 9th grade ADM
• 52.8% of graduates went directly to an OK college
(Source: OK State Regents for Higher Education as reported in Profiles 2008 State Report, Office of
Accountability, April 2009)
• 44.1 % of the above will complete a degree program
within 150% of normal completion time - 6:4 yr degrees;
3:2 yr degrees
(Source: OK State Regents for Higher Education as reported in Profiles 2008 State Report, Office of
Accountability, April 2009. “Summary of High School Performance Measures”)
Doing the Math
• Using these numbers, one could surmise that for
each 100 Oklahoma students that began 9th grade
in 2003-2004:
• 80 graduated from High School in 2008
• 42 of the 80 (53%) went directly to an OK college
• 18 of the 42 (44%) will complete a college
program
and
• 82/100 students will not graduate from college
Their World….

The World of Work
TWO YEARS AGO………….
At the For Counselors Only Conference
The last breakout session
A concept of partnership
A model of achievement
Community Wide Career Planning:
A new work-ready mantra

KeyTrain and WorkKeys: What’s it about?
Tech centers imbedding KeyTrain?
Tech Centers licensed to give WorkKeys test?
Entire senior classes receiving CRC’s?
Our neighbors becoming Work-Ready
communities?
It takes a whole community to develop careers.
(Ft. Gibson, Sand Springs, and Pryor live this philosophy)
The long drive back in the school van
or
“The Light Bulb Moment!”
Why Can’t we do that?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
KeyTrain already in place, but underused.
9 week class? Electives always needed.
Students need work-ready curriculum.
Majority of students will not directly go to college .
Students prefer computer-led instruction.
Individual based skill level activities.
The rule of 15 = 182

America’s Forgotten Middle-Skill Jobs
• 33% High-skill occupations are those in the
professional/technical and managerial categories.
• 17% Low-skill occupations are those in the service and
agricultural categories.
• 48% Middle-skill occupations are the others, including
clerical, sales, construction, installation/repair, production,
and transportation/material moving.
Ample employment opportunities will remain in a variety of
good-paying jobs in the middle of the labor market over the
next decade and beyond.

ACE Remediation
Many “bites” of the apple!
• CHS district policy requires students who fail
the Eng II or Alg 1 EOI to enroll in remediation
before attempting retake.
• KeyTrain is meaningful remediation for
reading and math – self paced, instant
progress results
• This course is stacked with the CRC course; 1
class, 2 OCAS codes, multiple needs met.
• End result is WorkKeys benefits every student
Grading Rubric
40% Progress: Measured by student’s sequential movement
through each level of KT program
assignments. KT
has many report options.
20% Reflections: One page written reflections of information
learned from guest speakers or field visits.
20% Participation: Interaction with OKCIS, creation of online
portfolio, attendance at career fair.
20% Block Final: Mini-research career-related project to be
completed in class on day of exam, OR completion of
WorkKeys test.
