THINKING ABOUT COLLEGE READINESS

3/26/2018

0 Comments

 
College readiness skills such a student's ability to be aware in a timely manner when help is needed and the ability to ask for help, are critical to the success of any college student.  Similarly important are organizational skills to manage classes and homework, as well as social skills to successfully transition to dorm life and the many other highly social aspects of college life.  However, not all students are ready for the same level of independence as soon as they graduate from high school.

Beginning in high school, talking about college readiness as a family can help set expectations for the student and parents, as well as provide an opportunity to allow the student to be able to set clear goals in order to build the necessary skills for a successful transition.  As the high school years pass and the student makes progress, the family can work together to determine what is the best next step for a student after high school. This article does a wonderful job in speaking to readiness. Very much worth a read, and consider sharing it with family members to help get the discussion started.
