ACT, Inc.
This study was done in collaboration with the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP) and Alliance College-Ready Public Schools (Alliance). This report, the second in the series, Examining the Efficacy of Career & College Clubs, explores how changes in the college readiness areas of social and emotional skills, knowledge of postsecondary education, and education intentions were related to growth in cumulative student grade point average (GPA) in 11th-grade students. The students in this study come from a cohort of over 900 Alliance students enrolled in Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) who have taken the Career & College Clubs (CCC) curriculum beginning in 9th grade. The results of this study demonstrate that the college readiness skills learned in the CCC curriculum increased significantly in students during their first three years of high school and predicted student grade point average (GPA). [For the first report, "Examining the Efficacy of Career & College Clubs: Initial Results and Implications for Practitioners. Research Report R2144," see ED616476.]
