In College and Career Ready, Dr. Conley provides research-validated descriptions of the knowledge and skills today's students need to ensure success beyond high school. The book explains rationale and methods for redesigning high schools to focus on college and career readiness. This book's focus on high school improvement follows naturally from Conley's previous book, College Knowledge, in which he shares research about university expectations of first-year students. In College and Career Ready, Conley outlines what high schools can do so graduates meet expectations, both for postsecondary education and for success in any career path.
