Inside and Outside School

It was kind of shocking to read "College readiness is a multi-faceted concept comprising numerous variables that include factors both internal and external to the school environment." It seems rare for someone to come out and say it, with such apparent ease, as did Conley. Then again, he was talking about college readiness. How many would make the same statement if we replaced "college readiness" with "K-12 Success"?

There's the rub.

I appreciate Conley's comprehensive definition of college readiness! The multi dimensional lens opens up opportunities for providing a wider spectrum of student support.
