College Preparedness Workshop

This was sent to me by a parent, so I thought I'd share it with you.   Enjoy the day!

COLLEGE READINESS:

What Every Parent Should Know

Thursday, October 20, 2011 

7-9 PM

Dwight Performing Arts Center

Framingham State University

Want to know:

·        How to better prepare your child academically for the freshman year?

·        What difficulties students face as college freshmen?

·        What work habits college faculty expect from college freshmen?

·        What parents can do BEFORE their kids apply to college?

Attend this free information session for parents on how to get their kids college and work ready (Hint: good grades are not good enough). Parents of middle school and early high school-age children are especially encouraged to attend.

Topics to be addressed include the following:

·        College Board programs beyond the SAT for middle and high school students

·        Academic accommodations: K-12 vs. college

·        Expectations and assumptions of college faculty

·        Work/study habits and organizational skills: high school vs. college

·        Why getting good grades now is not a guarantee for future success

This event is being sponsored by Academic Affairs and the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education at Framingham State University.
