Unfortunately, at the time of the program’s inception, lack of computing devices, teacher understanding of how to best integrate technology in high school classrooms and robust digital learning materials limited the ability of high school students to be fully prepared.Ĭollege Ready Ohio began with the foundational belief that when students leave an Ohio high school, they should be prepared for college without remediation.

Today’s college students are expected to enter higher education with a skill set that allows them to immediately engage in an interactive and collaborative digital learning environment.

While the program concluded in 2020, the results of the work live in on in the educators and partner schools who participated in the program and the thousands of Ohio students whose educational journeys have benefitted from the program. “College Ready Ohio was about expanding pedagogy and creating systems within school districts that empowered teachers to be professional development leads and instructional luminaries for their local communities,” said Cory Tressler, co-author of the College Ready Ohio grant. This unmatched collaboration among K-12 school districts, higher education, and regional service providers spanned the course of six years providing professional development, mobile learning technology, training and digital course materials to high school teachers. College Ready Ohio was a program designed to foster learning experiences that are engaging, relevant, and prepare Ohio's high school students to enter higher education with the depth of knowledge and necessary academic experience to be truly successful.
