Defining College Readiness in Washington State

The 2004 Master Plan for Higher Education in Washington State called for defining college readiness in several core subjects, including math, science, English, social studies, and the arts.

In 2005, the state provided funds for the Higher Education Coordination Board to define college readiness in English and science. Phase 1 (2006-07) produced preliminary English and science college readiness definitions. In Phase 2 (2008-09), pilot teams of teachers will integrate the definitions in lesson plans and curricula in high school classrooms. An anticipated Phase 3 (2010-11) would provide statewide professional development.

As a follow-up to my early involvement with the College Readiness Standards project, I've been meeting regularly with a group of university, community college and high school instructors from Central Washington who teach grades 11/12 or college transition reading and writing courses. We've been trying to align our expectations, using the CRS as a core document. We have also, however, been following the work of the evolving Common Core Standards Initiative. The documents share substantial common ground, but the CRS dispositions and attitudes are unique and, it sounds like, relevant and helpful. In moving forward toward implementation, would there be an advantage to incorporating the Common Core Standards into the explanding pilot plans?
