based goals that may be outside their control)o Have internal desire to learn new skills and master new taskso Track progress and increase effort with failure or setbacko Create new paths to goals when face obstacles or barrierso Use positive self-talk (e.g. “Keep going!” “You can get this done.”)o Receive higher scores on achievement tests, higher overall grade

Readiness Rubric21st Century Skills

• Use the College & Career Readiness Rubric to assess your development of “21st Century and Workforce Readiness Skills” (Example

responses)

Page 11: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Non-Cognitive Abilities

• Non-cognitive abilities refer to the behaviors, skills, attitudes, and strategies that are not reflected in test scores, but are crucial to both academic, college, and lifelong career performance.

• Non-cognitive abilities include the following: • Beliefs (e.g. belief that one can improve with effort

and hard work as well as the belief that one is responsible for his/her successes and failures)

• Behaviors (e.g. attendance, homework completion, study skills, learning strategies, and persistence)

Page 12: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Readiness RubricNon-cognitive Beliefs

Use the readiness rubric to assess your Academic Beliefs (Example responses)

Page 13: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Research on Non-cognitive Beliefs

• Students who responded positively to Academic Mindset questions (questions 1 – 3 from previous slide), display what is called a growth mindset.

• Students with a growth mindset…o Believe that their abilities and intelligence can grow and

change through effort and learning. o View mistakes as learning opportunities.o Are more likely to choose challenging tasks and less

likely to give up when things get difficulto Are more likely to improve their test scores and GPA over

time.

Research on Non-cognitive Behaviors

• Attendance:o Researchers followed Chicago 8th grade students

with the lowest standardized test scores as they entered high school. The lowest scoring students who had less than a week of absences in a semester passed more of the 9th grade courses than students who entered HS with the highest test scores but who missed just one more week of class (Allensworth and Easton, 2007).

Page 16: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Research on Non-cognitive Behaviors

• Homework:o Students with the lowest standardized test scores

(i.e. bottom third) who spent over 10 hours per week on homework were able to raise their grades to mostly B’s, the same grade as students with the highest standardized test scores who did not do their homework (Keith, 1982).

o Time spent on homework has a positive effect on both grades and standardized test scores.

Page 17: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Research on Non-cognitive Behaviors

• Attendance and study habits strongly predict student’s grades, even more than standardized test scores or any other student background characteristics.

• Grades predict high school and college performance and graduation

• Grades even predict people’s future alary.o For each point increase in GPA, men and women

earned 20% more money in their jobs 9 years after high school, even after controlling for educational attainment (Miller, 1998).

o Why might this be? Because students who attend class and complete their work are likely to practice work habits needed in college as well as in the workforce.

Page 18: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Self-Assessment & Goal Setting

• For those who finish early,

o Complete discussion questions and evaluate your areas of strength and areas for improvement.

o Select one of the categories where you most need to improve (e.g. academic performance, 21st century skills, non-cognitive attitudes, or non-cognitive behaviors)

o Write a goal statement. Include what steps you will take, by when, to see improvement in this area.

Service Learning

& Extracurricular

Activities

Page 20: 10 th Grade PEP Goal Setting. Overview 1.Review Personal Education Plan (PEP) goals 2.Use college and career readiness definition and indicators to discuss.

Service Learning & Extracurricular Activities

• College and career readiness goals include both academic as well as other non-cognitive indicators.

• As a result, it makes sense that many of these beliefs, behaviors, and skills are learned outside the classroom, through activities that support but are not directly a part of your academic program.

• Examples:

1. Service Learning activities (e.g. Community Builders, Youth in Service to America, etc.)

2. Extracurricular activities (e.g. sports teams, clubs, explorers programs, pre-collegiate programs, etc.)

• Service learning and extracurricular activities can help you discover your talents, explore your interests, reach your goals and even build your resume.

Service Learning Opportunities

• Service-learning is combining work on a community project with classroom studies. It is volunteering your time with the end goal of using skills you have learned in the classroom.

• Benefits:o Hands-on experiences assist in your learning.o Looks great on your college applications or resumes.o Your community is a better place because of your efforts.o Encourages growth in your problem-solving, leadership, and decision-

making skills.o Could lead to possible career options in your future.o Provides you with the opportunity to meet and work with leaders in

your community
