With more high school students aspiring to get a college degree, why hasn’t the proportion of students who actually earn one changed much over time? Join a discussion with the Consortium on Chicago School Research on the barriers urban students typically face as they attempt to bridge the gap between their aspirations and reality. Learn about the schools’ role in shaping the college application and search process and ways they can help close the aspirations attainment gap. As well, learn about the instructional strategies schools can employ to ensure rigorous learning that leads to college readiness.
