College Readiness: A McREL Report Prepared for Stupski Foundation's Learning System

Author(s): John Kendall, Carolyn Woempner, Laura Lefkowits, David Frost

Audience(s): Teachers and Administrators

Product Description:

Created for the Stupski Foundation, this document synthesizes recent research and theoretical literature on the knowledge and skills that underserved students of color need to succeed in college and the workplace.

Key Ideas:

Five main findings from the literature review:

  • Content knowledge matters.
  • There is lack of agreement on what specific content matters most.
  • Meta-cognitive and self-system thinking are critical but underemphasized or absent.
  • College, career, and life readiness require similar knowledge and skills.
  • Higher education is on the sidelines.
