New Forum Brief – Academic and Support Strategies for College and Career Readiness
This forum was the second in our three-part series entitled “Laying the Groundwork for a College-Going Culture,” focusing on efforts to increase the number of young people who graduate from high school prepared to make informed decisions about continued education and training, and ready to succeed in college and careers. This event examined academic and support strategies to build college and career knowledge for all youth through dual enrollment and college advising programs. Innovative school models and programs offer comprehensive approaches to address the multiple academic, social, and informational barriers to postsecondary education faced by many first-generation and low-income students. Presenters included: Cecilia Cunningham, Executive Director, Middle College National Consortium (NY), Angela N. Romans, New England Network Manager, Diploma Plus, Commonwealth Corporation (MA), Nicole Farmer Hurd, National College Advising Corps (NC), and Cassandra Castillo, Early College High School student (NY).
