*Unduplicated count of students
**Preliminary Survey 5 data as of October 12, 2015

But we have to start earlier…
• Skill development is a dynamic process, in which the early
years lay the foundation for successful investment in later
years.
• High-quality early childhood and elementary school
programs improve character skills in a lasting and costeffective way.
• Students retained in kindergarten through 4th grade are
almost 5 times more likely to drop out than students who
have never repeated a grade.
By the age of four, 32 million more words are
heard by an average child from a professional
family during ordinary daily conversation
than an average child from a poor family.
Differences in vocabulary are evident at 18 months
In an hour, the average child:
• In a professional family hears 32 affirmatives and 5 prohibitions
(6:1)
• In a working class family hears 12 affirmatives and 7
prohibitions (2:1)
• In a poor family hears 5 affirmatives and 11 prohibitions per
hour (1:2)
Cradle to Career Approach
What Can We Do?
• Re-frame the conversation: Help ALL students think
through what they need to enter and advance in careers of
interest – is degrees, certifications, and experience!
• Understand industry drivers/occupations in the economy;
place value on those careers
• Collaboration and alignment is key – along the education
cradle to career continuum and with business
YOU make a difference!
Thanks for all you do!
