College and Career Readiness
A letter from the Alabama Career and Technical Education President: Karen Mason
AS A TEACHER, ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPLIMENTS a student can bestow upon you is to tell you how something they learned in your class prepared them for their job or career. It is commonly said that the goal of high school reform is to ensure all students graduate "college - and - career -ready." Still there is confusion over what it actually means.

With all the technology available today to students, the basics are oftentimes skipped over, as we well know when the student enters secondary or postsecondary school and cannot do the basics.
