Wonder what skills your seniors should be working on to best prepare them for success in college? This is best imlpemented by the senior team or a group of teachers, not just in a single class. Divide up the skills and be consistent throughout the year.

1. Senior Skill Sets and Goals
 Senior curriculum is not driven by CRSs.
 Advantage- Freedom of curriculum and content.
 Challenge- Meeting the needs of the senior class in
furthering their college readiness skills, especially
concerning “real life” college readiness skills.
 Challenge- Keeping the focus and investment of the
senior class on personal growth and development.

2. Why do we need senior
CRSs?
General agreement amongst staff that seniors are not
prepared for the academic and social challenges of
college.
Many seniors are communicating a heightened level of
anxiety for moving away/ going to college.
Senior class as a whole has seen a decrease in academic
achievement and an increase in behavioral issues as
compared to previous semesters.

4. What does this mean?
 Developing, implementing and tracking SCRSs for
March-May.
 Three month focus on the skills you feel are best suited
to your classroom and teaching style.
 Consistent Tracking system across all senior
classrooms.
 Time dedicated in every class to incorporate/focus on
SCRSs.

5. How Much Time Do I need To
Dedicate in Each Class?
 Approximately 15 minutes a class dedicated to
assessing and/or reflecting on the SCRSs.
 Ideally, SCRSs would be incorporated smoothly into
your current curriculum.
 The goal is to highlight these skills to the student so
they are able to reflect on their mastery of these skills.
