SREB has been working for two decades in the arena of implementing high school courses to help students transition into postsecondary work. One result today are SREB’s Readiness Courses (transitional courses), which assist a target group of students who have not been able to reach the state’s college- and career-readiness level with traditional core classes. SREB Readiness Courses help this target group in high school, to master literacy and numeracy skills they need for more rigorous learning — preparing them directly for career-training programs and/or college.
