ESSA Metrics
North Dakota’s accountability system includes a College & Career Readiness indicator, based on the state’s “Choice Ready” framework. The indicator is weighted at 21 percent of the total score and includes a growth measure.
All students must earn a diploma or GED and develop a rolling four-year career education plan and earn a college-ready score on a college placement instrument, as determined by the North Dakota University System.
All students must then meet at least two additional Essential Skill indicators, including 25 hours of community service, 95 percent attendance rate, two or more years in co-curricular activities, or two or more year in extra-curricular activities.
The Career Ready element of the Choice Ready framework includes: (1) earning a 2.8 GPA or higher in a CTE pathway, (2) completing two credits in a coordinated plan of study and at least two additional indicators: (a) earning a 3.0 on a statewide rubric demonstrating Career Ready Practices; (b) completing at least 75 hours of a work-based learning experience; (3) earning an A, B or C in a dual credit course; (4) earning a gold or silver on the WorkKeys assessment; or (5) earning a passing score on a technical assessment or industry credential.
