- college readiness for all - shift the focus from credits earned to learning mastered - specify the knowledge, skills, and attributes of college readiness -Reclaim students' senior year-Make it a meaningful year! - strong work ethic - teamwork - oral communication - ethics
 * Identify the learning theory to guide quality learning experiences **

**Identify key learning structures and strategies** - make the state university admission requirements your district's default curriculum - provide weekend and evening opportunities for students/parents to receive additional supports for college readiness -Have students job shadow professionals, teach others, participate in spiritual retreats, community service, physical activities, and other activities that will help prepare them for life after high school

- move from a K-12 focus to a PK-16 focus - aligned syllabi - senior seminar to facilitate the transition to post-secondary - teach more thinking skills
 * Outline the learning expectations**

- change must be institutionalized - make the senior year meaningful, rather than the "blow off" year it is for many - review syllabi for rigor and relevance - Career Interest Acadmies - Smaller Learning Communities - Ninth Grade Academies - get our secondary schools to resemble our elementaries - teachers "own" their results - student mentality is focused on having an easy senior year
 * Determine the relationship to K-12**
