Evidence¶

Graciela N. Borsato 2013¶

Graciela N. Borsato, Jenny Nagaoka, and Ellen Foley. (2013). College Readiness Indicator Systems Framework. Voices in Urban Education, Fall 2013. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/college-readiness-indicator-systems-framework

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the authors' interpretive claim about the outer context — state and local policy, higher education accessibility and affordability, and cross-sector community collaboration — surrounding indicator systems. It is an argument from the framework's design, not an empirical test.

"Some of these contextual conditions are within the locus of control of district leaders; some are not. Either way, they influence how college readiness is defined, developed, and deployed in a school district."
