Quill Research Associates, in partnership with REL AP at CNA, is conducting the first in a series of working group meetings on College and Career Readiness and Success with key stakeholders in Virginia. The objectives of the working group are to:

• Help the group review Virginia’s legislative definition of college and career readiness and success and develop a new, more expansive operational definition.
• With VDOE, inventory existing data (data catalog) that could be used to measure the new operational definition.
• Help the working group identify gaps between Virginia’s current measurement practices and its measurement goals as they relate to the new operational definition.
• Support VDOE in developing an action plan to address measurement needs.

The first working group meeting is scheduled for May 2015 with 3 additional meetings to be scheduled throughout 2015.
