This is the article title and link for a report by two researchers from Vanderbilt. In the article is a graph showing average Lexile of 10th graders, average Lexile of textbooks, and on to average Lexiles of entry-level careers. Very enlightening. This is the article that points out that the current levels of curriculum are insufficient for the needs of business. Hopefully the CC will help remedy this.
This is a terrific article! I will be interested to read comments posted by other participants.
