College Readiness Information

 Here are some great brochures that I received from Dr. Urdaneta on campus. The Transition to College one is especially good, but there are great things about them all. They’re more to help students understand College expectations, but I wanted to share it with all of you since it’s a great resource! They’re from Minnesota, and there’s more information at www.mnade.net . (If you still need PD, there are a lot of things there, and you can write up a quick PD form what you learned. Remember that meetings with each other or anything you read or listen to can count for PD as long as it impacts your teaching.)
