Over the next three years, the California State Board of Education (SBE) and the California Department of Education (CDE) will refine the college and career readiness (CCR) measures in the state's school accountability system. Determining which measures to use, given that they need to be robust, useful, equitable, and cost effective--and effectively measure a complex set of factors--has proven to be a challenging process for these state agencies to date. To inform their work, this report captures how state and county officials, high school teachers, community college instructors, CCR program administrators, high school students, and community college students view California's current CCR measures. It focuses particularly on what teachers and students think makes certain CCR programs successful, based on their experiences. The study answers two questions: (1) How do officials from the state and county offices of education view CCR programs and the state's College/Career Indicator (CCI)?; and (2) What are students', teachers', and administrators ' perspectives on CCR programs? While this qualitative study reflects only the views of a small number of stakeholders, their ideas and concerns warrant consideration by policymakers. This report finds that students, teachers and local administrators embrace California's commitment to college and career readiness (CCR), but have deep concerns about implementation.
