This is Get Uncomfortable, the podcast where we talk race, politics, religion and all the things with me…Adam Smith.
Asking if students are “college-ready” concentrates on factors beyond the control of higher education and places the responsibility on K-12 education, the community, the family and the student. Originally published in 2016 the book “Becoming a Student Ready College” the authors flip the question to provide a new perspective by focusing on what colleges and universities can do to prepare for their entering students. As the college-going population declines and grows in its percentages of students who are of color, first generation, and non-traditional the concept of student ready takes on a whole new lens. The impacts of pandemics, racialized trauma and virtual learning have forever changed students. Now what must colleges change to be ready for student ready in 2023 and beyond?
