College Bound!

This year my district has a goal to increase college and career readiness. I came up with four short term initiatives to help my school reach this goal. My first initiative was to create a college pennant for each hallway. Each hallway will be named for a college or university in the state of New Jersey. Here is a look at some of the pennants I created:




Teachers will be asked to refer to the hallway as the college/university name. For instance, you can find the school counselors office in the "Rutgers" hallway. This is just a small and easy way to get elementary school students familiar with simple college vocabulary! Stay tuned to find out about the other initiatives I will be starting later this month!

What do you do at your school to promote college readiness?
