ED 251 2 - Precollege Mentoring and Coaching

2 Credit(s)

Committed to College (C2C) is a unique partnership among Edgewood College, Cherokee Middle School, and Madison West High School. This course will prepare students to serve as academic coaches to eighth graders at Cherokee and high school students at West as part of Edgewood’s C2C college readiness initiative. The first six weeks will explore issues of college access, such as equity, opportunity gaps and education debt, effective study strategies, and developing a college going culture. Class Seminars are held at Edgewood. In addition, academic coaches will spend at least one hour each week in one-to-one sessions at the school of their scholar. This is a yearlong sequence that totals 4 credits. Students will register for ED 251 for fall semester and ED 252 for spring semester. Enrollment requires sophomore standing or consent of the instructor. Both semesters must be completed successfully. Cross-listed ED 251 and ED 252 are COR 2 courses and are cross-listed as HI 305 and HI 405.
