How would you define academic readiness?
I would define Academic Readiness as a student’s ability to handle school when they enter into a program. Specifically, how well can a student manage time, how well can a student read and write, how much math does a student know entering into school. I think it is very important for a student to know their readiness before entering into a class they might not be ready for. If you understand your weaknesses and learning opportunities early, you will have much better success in completing whatever program you enter.
