• Nationwide survey of educational practices and expectations– College instructors– High school teachers– Middle school teachers– Elementary teachers
ACT National Curriculum Survey®
The Foundation of ACT’s College Readiness System

• Guides the development of ACT’s assessments that measure college-ready skills
• Informs efforts to develop, refine, and update academic standards
• Inform policymakers and educators
6
The acquisition of the knowledge and skills a student needs to enroll in and succeed in credit-bearing first-year courses at a postsecondary institution (such as a
two- or four-year college, trade school, or technical school) without the need for remediation.
The ACT Definition
7
The ACT College Readiness StandardsDirect link between what students have learned and what they are ready to learn next. • Help interpret what the scores
earned on ACT Explore®, ACT Plan®, and the ACT mean
• Identify the knowledge and skills students are likely to demonstrate at various score levels on each academic test
8
ACT College Readiness Standards
• Suggested learning experiences provide links between the Standards in one score range and those in the next (higher) score range.
• Ideas for progressing to the next score range demonstrate ways that information learned form standardized test results can be used to inform classroom instruction.

l
Statements that describe what students are likely to know and be able to do. 80% of students who achieve a score in this range demonstrate these skills.
And statements that provide suggestions to progress to a higher level of achievement

ACT College Readiness Benchmarks UPDATED
• Empirically derived• 50% chance of achieving a B or higher or about a 75% chance of achieving
a C or higher in the corresponding credit-bearing college course

Look for the following patterns:
Dramatic differences from the reference group High percentages clustered around a wrong
answer High percentages of omitted questions
Do any of these situations occur more frequently for some domains than others?
Replace image with what is in the workbook and fix the color coding key to match
