SREB Readiness Courses -- Transitioning to College and Careers
Page Location: College and Career Readiness --> SREB Readiness Courses
The South Regional Educational Board and its member states have developed supplemental course resources for closing college and career readiness gaps -- Powerful courses to teach students the skills they need to learn and think independently after high school.
Literacy Ready -- Ready for Reading in All Disciplines
This course teaches students strategies for reading and truly understanding specific kinds of complex texts in all subjects — reading a biology textbook, for example, is different than reading short stories or history research articles. Students learn to develop and defend ideas from the text and write about them in different college-level formats.
Literacy Ready prepares high school students to read and write about college-level texts in core subjects.
6 units -- 2 in social science; 2 in English; 2 in science
The content of each discipline is at the forefront of the curriculum, while literacy skills specific to each discipline are emphasized in reading and writing assignments based on the content.
Math Ready -- Ready for College-Level Mathematics
This course emphasizes understanding of math concepts rather than just memorizing procedures.
Math Ready students learn the context behind the procedure: why to use a certain formula or method to solve a problem, for example. This equips them with higher-order thinking to apply math skills, functions and concepts in different situations.
The course prepares students for college-level math assignments based on the content.
It is NOT designed to prepare students for college-level math in STEM majors.
8 units -- exponentials; quadratics; equations; measurements; number operations; systems; linear functions;
statistics (optional)
