 * Research:**

ACT, Inc. (2009). //The condition of college readiness 2009//.Iowa City, IA: ACT. College Knowledge: http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/college-knowledge-david-conley-ca-forum-09.ppt ACT, Inc. (2013). ACT National Curriculum Survey. @http://www.act.org/research-policy/national-curriculum-survey/ The survey shows a disconnect on the crucial question of college readiness. Eighty-nine percent of high school teachers surveyed said students who finished their classes were well or very well prepared for college work in those subjects. But 26 percent of college instructors say incoming students are well or very well prepared for first-year courses, the survey found. The results echoed previous findings in 2009, even though there has been intensive focus on college readiness in recent years.
