It’s the Small Habits of Mind!1. Stamina• to read complex text and work to understand meaning• to commit to rigor even though you know it’s challenging “Eustress” vs. “Distress” (top athletes feel “EUSTRESS” before competition because they are prepared!)2. Study Skill Behavior• homework as a habit – that will translate into “studying as a habit”3. Stress-Management•time-management is key 4. Self-Management •relationships with Teachers, Administrators, Peers, etc. – recognize those roles as “resources”•resisting distractions
-from David Conley’s “Rethinking College Readiness” (Handout #2)

Thoughts to Consider…• College matters — for life
• A college education is a gateway to success in today’s knowledge-based, global economy.
• College is more than a classroom. It’s an important opportunity to learn and grow as a person, gaining independence, confidence and life skills.
• College graduates earn an average of $22,000 more per year than high school graduates.

So, what can we do at home?
Think SPRITE!!!
If you are planning to be “college-ready”, you need to be “ready for the world.” So, practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening about “wordly” topics.
To bridge the gap from school to the “worldly topics”, find ways to integrate SPRITE from the past and present:
Social and Scientific
Political, Philosophical, and Psychological
Relevant Issues in the News
Intellectual (art, history, drama, literature, etc.)
Technological
Environmental and Economic
