The Maryland State Department of Education contracted with the American Institutes of Research to verify the validity of the interim College and Career Readiness standard and explore alternative standards.
Students will have access to several college and career pathways at no cost them. Pathways are flexible, allowing students to develop in-depth knowledge of a subject area, earn postsecondary credits or industry credentials, and/or engage in competitive entry college preparation programs.
The Maryland State Department of Education is commissioning two separate research studies to define and verify the College and Career Readiness standard and how it will be measured.
