College Going Culture strategies will be shared including:

•    College Thursdays
•    How our math and expository writing programs support students to be college ready
•    Engaging parents in supporting college aspirations
•    Using resources from College Tools for Schools (http://collegetools.berkeley.edu/)
and more

In addition, participants will visit classrooms and have the opportunity to meet with administrators, counselors, students and staff.  They will also engage in hands-on explorations of the new College Tools web site and acquire College Going Culture resources and tools. 

A Continental Breakfast and Lunch will be provided.  (Again, at no cost to participants as this event is generously supported by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation.)
