The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) is focused on transforming Arkansas to lead the nation in student-focused education. To accomplish this vision, one of ADE's goals is for each student to meet or exceed milestones along pathways to graduate high school prepared for college, career, and community engagement. Some career and technical education (CTE) students in Arkansas high schools take American College Testing (ACT®) WorkKeys® to measure their foundational workplace skills in Applied Math, Workplace Documents, and Graphic Literacy. This report focuses on educational programs in high schools with greater-than-expected WorkKeys performance. That is, compared to other schools enrolling students with similar ACT scores and demographics, these schools exhibited higher average WorkKeys scores. Ten such schools were contacted to find out how they promote WorkKeys performance and career readiness more generally. Results revealed common themes such as supporting career exploration, connecting students and local employers, using WorkKeys Curriculum® to prepare students for the WorkKeys Assessments, and emphasizing the value of the NCRC.
