THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLEGE READINESS

3/9/2019

0 Comments

 
The more students and parents understand the importance of college readiness during the high school years, the more opportunities students will have to build the skills they need for a successful transition to college.  I have found that many students and parents are not aware of gaps in skills that a student might have in their ability to live independently. Unfortunately, some students first find out about their lack of readiness once they are already in college and struggling.  Students can find themselves struggling academically or socially, as well as in areas around life skills such as hygiene, self-advocacy, or emotional regulation to name a few.

I believe that educating families about the importance of college readiness is the best way to bring attention to this issue.  This article does a great job in clearly and thoughtfully outlining the importance of college readiness for students and parents.  Spend some time thinking about college readiness currently, and where you would like it to be before college.  Talk to the support people in your life to understand their view of readiness for a student.  Be proactive early to give you the time to build the skills needed for success.
