Model Program

Ready or Not Writing - Statewide

Ready or Not Writing is a web based program that allows high school students to submit writing assignments to the Ready or Not Writing website.  These writing assignments are evaluated for college readiness by college English faculty using a bridge rubric that is built around the Common Core standards.  The college faculty provide a personalized feedback letter along with the rubric to give students specific, directed feedback on their college readiness.  Teachers can view all feedback provided to their students.
