What constitues College Readiness?
Many students are eligible for college. They met the criteria: average or above average GPA, adequate ACT/SAT scores, high school credit mandates, state guidelines and more. However, what happens when students enter and enroll? Many never graduate and many struggle with completing classes successfully.
I believe there are non-cognitive factors that every students and school counselor should consider when prior to a student entering college. These factors consists of: motivation, perseverance, time management, progress monitoring, seeking assistance and being present (physically and intellectually). There has to be a non-cognitive plan for students prior to entering college to determine readiness. Are there additional factors to consider? How can we ensure that college entry moves toward sustainability and finally completion?
