<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:4.5pt"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#285685">The state House took action this week that allows the Michigan Department of Education to resume funding and implementation of the
Common Core, which are high standards meant to provide high levels of teaching for all students. The MDE's work on Common Core has been on hold since October 1st due to a legislative vote earlier this year that put a pause on MDE spending on CCSS.<br>
<br>
"Michigan students deserve world-class standards that prepare them for education beyond high school," said Brandy Johnson, executive director of Michigan College Access Network. "The CCSS set a high bar so that our students have a shot at competing in the
21st century global economy. MCAN applauds our elected officials for prioritizing postsecondary readiness for all Michigan students."<br>
<br>
MCAN is part of the Michigan Coalition for High Student Standards, a statewide coalition of more than 130 organizations working to support the full implementation of the Common Core State Standards. To learn more about the coalition and CCSS, check out its

For young people involved in the justice system, navigating a pathway into and through postsecondary education and the workforce is often met with a range of barriers including social stigmatization arising from court involvement, lack of access to resources
and services, low expectations of educational success, lack of employment opportunities, probation and parole requirements that do not support postsecondary goals, and gaps in academic attainment and college readiness. This webinar will feature a discussion
of NYEC's recent report "Promoting Postsecondary Success of Court-Involved Youth: Lessons from NYEC Postsecondary Success Pilot" and include presentations from profiled programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
