Abstract | Many students falter in college because of a gap between their high school experiences and the higher expectations they encounter in college courses. Research has found that college instructors often expect students to exercise higher-level thinking skills, such as interpreting and analyzing information, supporting arguments with evidence, and working with others to tackle complex problems and projects. The typical high school experience does not prepare students for these higher academic demands, writes the author. He discusses four strategies that high schools can use to make students more college-ready: aligning high school curriculum and instruction with college expectations; developing high-quality syllabi in all high school courses; implementing senior seminars; and adding missing content to high school courses.
