CCMR
CCMR stands for College, Career, and Military Readiness. It is a framework used in education to measure how well schools are preparing students for success after high school, whether they choose to attend college, pursue a career, or enlist in the military. The goal of CCMR is to ensure students graduate with the skills, knowledge, and qualifications needed to thrive in their chosen postsecondary pathway.
Why CCMR Matters:
CCMR is vital because it ensures that every student has access to opportunities that lead to meaningful futures. By focusing on multiple pathways, schools acknowledge the diverse goals and strengths of their students. Whether a student’s goal is to attend a university, enter the workforce, or serve in the military, CCMR equips them with the tools and guidance they need to succeed.
CCMR and Accountability
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has defined a set of indicators that students can earn to be considered college, career or military ready. Students who meet one of these CCMR indicators are considered "CCMR-met".
Readiness indicators are achieved by:
- Meet criteria of 3 on AP examinations or 4 on IB examination
- Meet TSI criteria via SAT, ACT, TSI-A, or College Prep Course in English and math
- Complete a dual credit course (9 hours in any subject or 3 hours English/mathematics)
- Earn an associate degree
- Complete an OnRamps course
- Earn a Level I or Level II certificate
- Earn an industry-based certification (IBC)
- Complete a program of study in CTE
- Graduate with completed IEP and workforce readiness
- Enlist in one of the armed forces
