Implementation of the Florida College and Career Readiness Initiative

• In Event: Roundtable Session 15
  In Roundtable Session: Evaluating High School Support Structures and Instruction

Abstract

The Florida College and Career Readiness Initiative (FCCRI) is a statewide policy that consists of testing to determine college readiness in 11th grade and participation in college readiness and success courses in 12th grade for students who do not test college-ready. This presentation will begin by placing the FCCRI within a policy context and describe the theory of action for this initiative. It will provide results on the first four years of the initiative on several indicators of the fidelity of implementation including the extent to which districts offered the college placement testing and remediation and eligible students participated. We will conclude with a discussion of the policy implications and next steps in the evaluation of the FCCRI.
