Academic and socioemotional readiness are crucial for student success in both college and

the workforce, but the pandemic has significantly disrupted the development of these capabilities. As a result, many K-12 students are now struggling with foundational math, reading, and socioemotional skills, and these gaps are beginning to affect community colleges. This situation may worsen before it improves, with serious implications for students, the workforce, and communities.

To address readiness gaps, higher education institutions, including community colleges, must take bold steps and collaborate in more innovative ways.

Join experts from EAB and the League for Innovation in the Community College for a discussion on the student readiness crisis, including:

• The latest data on K-12 math and reading trends and their implications for community colleges
• Insights into youth mental health trends and their effect on socioemotional readiness for college
• Guidance for community college professionals on how to prepare for the impact of student readiness gaps
