‘As high schools strive to partner with post-secondary institutions to improve their students’ college readiness, they will find the how-to answers here.’
Dave Daniels, Principal
Susquehanna Valley Senior High School
‘I found the material interesting, engaging, and important. This book provides a solid rationale for partnership, provides a blueprint that is detailed enough to be helpful and loose enough to make clear that there is no one way approach but rather than their partnership must reflect their context.’
Natalie B. Schonfeld, Director
Student Transition Services, University of California, Irvine
