ELEMENTS OF COLLEGE READINESS

2/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Understanding when students are ready for the responsibilities and independence of college is not always clear and easy to determine.  Each student is different, and will need to build different skills to be ready for the transition out of high school and into a college setting.  This blog article does a great job in articulating important aspects for students to consider when thinking about their transition out of high school.  The author focuses on the theme of self-advocacy, which is in itself a critical skill for success in college. But he breaks self-advocacy down into specific areas that students can understand and therefore work on improving as needed.  

Starting this type of college readiness skill building should ideally happen in the beginning of high school to allow students a chance to practice as much as possible while still at home.  There are many new responsibilities that come with going to college, and having a sense of confidence around self-advocacy will allow students more time to focus on other areas of the transition process that all students go through.
