The purpose of this brief is to understand the Illinois College and Career Readiness (CCR) Act in light of David Conley's college readiness model. Although not mentioned specifically by the Illinois statute, evaluation results gathered by the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL) show alignment between a number of programs and services that Illinois' CCR pilot sites are implementing and Conley's framework. There are also areas where Illinois' pilot sites are not aligned, suggesting opportunities to explore what is meant by college and career readiness and consider whether adopting additional dimensions of Conley's model would help the state move toward the goal of preparing all students for college and careers. Furthermore, a description of the evaluation methods is provided at the end of this "BRIEF". (Contains 1 table.).
