How prepared do students feel for college and careers? Student perceptions are linked to academic outcomes, which makes understanding student feedback vital for student success now and in the future.
YouthTruth, a national nonprofit harnessing student perceptions to help educators accelerate improvements in their K-12 schools and classrooms, recently analyzed data collected from some 165,000 students across the country about their experiences and perceptions of college and career readiness. This data was featured in Education Week and EdSource, and is now available as a free downloadable resource to inform practices.
