Outcomes of a Partnership for College and Career Readiness and a Senior English Transition Course
Creech, Kimberly Kaye; Clouse, Pamela Jane
NASSP Bulletin, v97 n4 p314-334 Dec 2013
This article discusses the outcomes of a partnership between four high schools and one university to reduce the need for remediation in reading and writing. The purpose of the partnership was to build relationships between secondary and postsecondary faculty and to create a senior year English Transition course for students who did not meet ACT benchmarks for reading and/or writing. We discuss recommendations for school administrators and paired t-test results for assessments used in the English Transition course.
