Designed to help 8th and 9th graders explore a broad range of options for their future, EXPLORE is a curriculum-based educational and career planning program that measures achievement in English, math, reading, and science. As an early indicator of college readiness, EXPLORE gives educators the means to structure high school planning and career exploration for students and parents.

Assessment LiteracyACT College and Career Readiness Standards
Statements describing the knowledge and skills typically demonstrated by students who score in a particular score range
Core Minimum number of high school courses recommended to prepare for college
Norms Indicate the percent of examinees in the norming study who received the same scale score or a lower scale score
Assessment LiteracyACT College Readiness Benchmarks
The minimum English, reading, mathematics, and science assessment scores required for student to have a 50 percent change of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75 percent chance of obtaining a C or higher in the corresponding credit-bearing college course
Cusp/Bubble -+2 or -2 points above or below
Percentiles the value of a variable below which a certain percent of variables fall
Communication Defined
Exchange or sharing of information to all people involved in the stages of implementation
Why Important
Help prevent poor performance by planning ahead
Ensures action is taken Avoid assumptions Increase stakeholder buy-in
Students Need to Know
Purpose, significance, what is being measured and how the school will use the assessment results
Parent/Guardian Needs to Know
Purpose, significance, what is being measured and how the school will use the assessment results
Educators Need to Know
Purpose, significance, what is being measured
How the results can be used– Teaching and guiding individual students– Curricular improvement– Instructional improvement
Student Score Report
An individualized score report detailing scores received on the assessment, career plans and needs indicated by the student.
Student Score Report
The Student Score Report will provide:
• suggestions for improving student academic skills
• careers that match student interests• indicators of college readiness
