College Knowledge: Creating a Culture of High Expectations

Participants will gain an understanding of creating a college-going culture. Participants are asked to: a) analyze the significance of a college-going culture, b) assess the current college-going culture at their school site, and c) create a list of strategies that signal a college-going culture. Through this activity, participants will recognize the foundations of a college-going culture. This culture is inclusive to all students, is supported systemically and involves all stakeholders. In addition, this session will explore possible aspects of a college-going culture through the use of visual and auditory signals, practices/rituals, and structures.
