Do you believe students are ready for higher education?
Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into the findings of a recent study conducted by Bay View Analytics which asked thousands of high school teachers and higher education faculty the same two questions:
- Do you believe your students are prepared to be successful in their higher education efforts?
- Do you believe your students are prepared for the use of digital tools and online learning used in higher education?
The webinar will begin with a detailed review of the survey results, highlighting key similarities and differences in perceptions between K-12 and higher education professionals. Following this, a dynamic panel discussion will feature diverse perspectives from both instructors and students, offering real-world insights into college readiness and the evolving challenges of the digital learning landscape.
This session is essential for educators and administrators committed to bridging the gap between high school preparation and higher education success. You don’t want to miss it!
