Most students earn significant college credits before graduation. However, annually 15% of Metro Early College High School students demonstrate such deep achievement gaps they struggle to meet Metro's highly rigorous mastery standards and are never able to experience college coursework. In 2013, Metro added grades 6-8 as a strategy to allow them more time to help students overcome achievement gaps. Metro's middle school students are entering with even greater gaps than anticipated. Metro's goal is for 100% of their students to complete their HS required coursework by end of 10th grade. In order to achieve that goal, Metro will implement a blended learning approach in grades 6-10 so they can accelerate remediation for middle school students performing below grade level and more quickly remediate all students who do not attain course mastery.

 | 046151 | Talawanda City | Butler | 27 | [NAME]: Innovation, Technology, & Collaboration to Enhance 21st Century Skills for Students (ITC-21) | The ITC-21 Plan is to support 21st Century Learning Skills with students in grades 3-11 by introducing devices to students in our district at an early age. We will instruct students to use the devices and systematically develop programming and curricular opportunities for our students that build upon one another from grade level to grade level. We will better support our students who qualify as students with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students by providing the devices at a younger age, leveling the playing field for them so they are gaining exposure to technology near the same time their typical peers are. This early intervention with these two demographic areas will support gains on the state assessments for these groups in the areas of math and science. Earlier access to technology and STEM related courses will support gains on the state assessments for 5-8th graders in Talawanda School District because they will have more experiences over time that will support growth each year.

 | 065268 | Tri-Rivers | Marion | 168 | [NAME] | The United States and Ohio, in particular, face a skills gap. A 2011 Manpower survey found the number of employers struggling to fill positions is at an all-time survey high. The survey documented that 52 percent of U.S. employers are experiencing difficulty filling mission-critical positions, up from 14 percent in 2010. Skilled trade jobs, which require more than a high school diploma but not a four-year degree, featured prominently among the top ten "hardest to fill" jobs of 2011, with skilled trades topping the list. Taking immediate steps to address the skills gap is an educational and economic necessity for Ohio. Many emerging jobs in critical sectors such as health care, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing will require higher math and analytical skills than the trade jobs of the past. States that adopt policies that expand access to education and training for workers at all levels will be positioned to meet the growing demand for higher skills and credentials.
