#187 What is College Readiness?

Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching.  Jacob just took some students to visit a few colleges and universities.  The visit propagated the question, “Are schools effectively readying their students for college?” In this episode, Jacob and Pam talk about why college readiness is still important.  They each share their own college experiences.  They both realize that the experiences are completely opposite from each other.  Pam shares how she played volleyball in college, made friends and networked.  She goes down a short visit on memory lane about how much she enjoyed her time there.  Jacob shares how most of his experience was on-line, so he missed a lot of the social aspects of attending college on-campus. They both move into what educators need to do to  effectively prepare students for college.  Join Jacob and Pam as they think through why schools may not be getting students ready for college, and what the schools need to do about it.
