After an interesting Boston Globe report about the success of valedictorians, we thought it might be a good opportunity to see what North Dakota was doing to make sure we don’t have similar statistics.
More about the
Boston Globe report
:
After more than 10 years,
–Forty percent make less than $50,000
–One in four failed to get a bachelor’s degree in six years
–Nearly a quarter aspired to be doctors, but not one has a medical degree
–Four of the former students have been homeless.
North Dakota School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler joins IT2 to explain initiatives in North Dakota specifically addressing the need to make sure students have success after graduation.
