The Center Square) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polis released an “Education Roadmap for Governors” this week, highlighting a measurement mismatch found within education, questioning student readiness post-graduation.
The roadmap outlines recommendations for governors. Among them is defining a vision for student readiness and assessing how their states are measuring it. According to the report, it was discovered that there is a measurement mismatch, a gap between what’s taught and the skills, knowledge and traits high school graduates need when they walk across the commencement stage.
The National Governors Association, in a cumulative effort, created a report: “Let’s Get Ready: Educating All Americans for Success” initiative to improve public education’s success rates, due to the ever-increasing American education crisis, as many call it.
“To be truly ready for life after high school, students need more than academic skills or career pathways; they need the emotional and psychological grounding and character to thrive as whole people,” the report stated. “Governors can align systems and supports that help young people build this strong foundation for lifelong well-being.”
Polis, the chair of NGA, promoted the initiative that was launched by a bipartisan group of governors in 2024.
