Online Workshop
Developing Effective College Readiness Programs:
Designing K-12 Interventions to Improve
College Knowledge and Increase Access
Wednesday, September 23rd and Friday, October 2nd - 1:00-2:30 EDT
“Significantly increasing access to college is absolutely possible. It begins by answering two questions: what’s wrong and why? Data is the key, but is dependent on creativity, strong leadership, and follow through. We should not be satisfied until we’ve increased the college attendance rate by at least 20 percent. The viability of our society depends on it.”
~ Ken González, Ph.D.

Overview
This workshop will provide a step-by-step approach to increase the level of “college knowledge” among pre-collegiate students and their parents. The information, tools and strategies presented come from a three year evaluation study of an effective college readiness program. The study was conducted by San Diego State and a partnering high school district.
The first session will focus on the type of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that 7th through 12th graders need in order to stay on the path to access higher education. You will learn how to develop effective intervention strategies based on this knowledge and skill set.
The second session will highlight how you can use this study as a model for your institution. Specific tools will be provided to help you successfully implement a college readiness program that fits your institution's specific campus culture and needs.
Objectives
Participants will learn how to:
Identify the specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes pre-collegiate students and their parents need in order to be on track for college
Link the college knowledge gaps of 7th-12th grade students with specific intervention strategies
Gather and analyze this information in order to establish valuable intervention programs
Develop tools to assess the effectiveness of these programs
Follow a step-by-step process for implementing these programs and assessment strategies on your campus
