In the August issue of our ‘Career News & Views’ newsletter, we are celebrating the transition test score increases of the students in Montgomery, Alabama!

Over the course of the 2018 – 2019 school year, students took 16 different career exploration courses focusing on vocational areas as diverse as Greenhouse Work, Child Care and Autobody Work. Teachers used Project Discovery hands-on kits, featuring evidence-based practices such as video modeling and differentiated instruction, to guide students through preparation for over a dozen different careers.

Of the 131 students who completed our career exploration curriculum, 102 (78%) showed improvements on post-test evaluations. Of those students showing improvement, the average gain was 105%, more than doubling their performance on the pre-test!

Montgomery County, AL is only one of the many schools demonstrating transition outcomes of this magnitude. As institutions of learning across the country are opening their doors for a brand new school year, we encourage everyone to begin the year with the end in mind!
