Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed (GPS)

What defines an Indiana Graduate Prepared to Succeed?

As we work to blur the lines between preK-12, higher education, and the workforce, we set out to identify the knowledge and skills every student should have by high school graduation.

PreK-Grade 2: Where do we start?

Expanding quality, affordable, and accessible early learning opportunities A student’s access to early education is an essential first step in their academic and overall development. Measuring kindergarten readiness, as well as a student’s PreK-2 literacy progress, can provide key indicators of future success across the K-12 continuum.

Graduation and beyond: What comes next?

Supporting students for a brighter future We know that education positively impacts a person’s quality of life, health, employment, and living wage. The future of our students, our communities, and our state depend on a K-12 system that helps everyone succeed, whether their post-graduation plans include employment, enrollment, or enlistment leading to service.
