STUDENT PREPAREDNESS FOR THE READING AND MATH DEMANDS OF CAREERS
MetaMetrics can also analyze information
related to the percentages of students who
are likely on-track at the end of Grade 12 for
the reading and mathematics demands of
specific careers. This information can be used
to describe the percentage of students at each
grade level that are “on the path” towards being
prepared for individual careers.
Interested in purchasing this analysis and what
data we would need from you? You will have
the opportunity to identify a set of high-growth
careers in the state and careers important to the
state. One to five careers can be identified for
each of the 16 Career Clusters in the National
Career Clusters® Framework (Advance CTE,
2022), not to exceed 40 careers in total. The
Framework serves as an organizing tool for
Career Technical Education (CTE) programs,
curriculum design and instruction and was
developed in 1996 by the U.S. Department of
Education, the Office of Vocational and Adult
Education (OVAE), the National School-toWork Office (NSTWO) and the National Skill
Standards Board (NSSB). In addition to the SOC
(standard occupational classification) code for
each career, the State can provide information
such as growth potential over the next 10 years,
current annual wages, and education and/or
certifications requirements.
MetaMetrics will supplement the state-provided
career information with information from the
Lexile® and Quantile® Career Databases. These
databases were developed to describe the
reading and mathematics demands of entrylevel materials that are considered important
for accessing specific individual occupations.
The following information is also included for
each career in the Lexile and Quantile Career
Databases: SOC (standard occupational
classification) code, cluster, Bright Outlook
classification, number of years of education, and
highest mathematics course required.
MetaMetrics will provide a report with
information about the reading and mathematics
demands of careers as found in the Lexile and
Quantile Career Databases. For each career,
information will be provided for (i) the Lexile
and Quantile measures needed in the current
grade to be on a trajectory for readiness for
the reading and mathematics demands of
the career, and (ii) the proportion of students
who are at or above these Lexile or Quantile
measures during prior school year.
Three state education agencies use these reports to forecast student growth and assess
student preparedness. Interested in joining them? Reach out!
