"I Was Going to Work Full-Time at Roses Department Store": The Need for College Readiness with Black and Latinx Students
Griffin, Dana; Birkenstock, Nicole
Journal of College Access, v7 n1 Article 5 p34-54 Feb 2022
This article provides a summary of the literature and research justifying the need for creating equitable college readiness practices in K-12 schools, particularly for Black and Latinx students who are at risk for not receiving college readiness knowledge and skills. Written in a style to provide a bricolage of personal narratives, literature, and research around postsecondary readiness, the authors shift between first and third person to demonstrate that the entire postsecondary process in K-12 schools is in dire need of an upheaval. From the dialectical exchange presented, the authors develop strategies for developing equity-focused college readiness practices.
