College Readiness
How do you know if a young person is college-ready?
Test scores and grades can give us a sense of a young person’s academic preparedness — but what about the non-academic challenges on campus? Higher education requires that young people strategize and plan their workloads while building and maintaining new relationships and managing their own needs and behavior. Research demonstrates that young people with strong social and emotional learning (SEL) skills are better prepared for college and have more academic success.
Hello Insight: College Readiness helps you to ensure the young people you work with are truly prepared for the challenges and opportunities of higher education.
Capacities
SEL is a continuous, ongoing process in young people that involves developing many skills and attributes that are closely related, but distinct enough to be measured on their own. We call these “capacities.” Hello Insight: College Readiness reports on key capacities linked to college success and thriving.

Experiences
Everything that young people see, think, hear, do and feel is fuel for SEL, but a few key types of experiences are especially effective at boosting SEL growth. We use advanced analytics to predict which of those experiences will best promote growth in each group of young people in your program.
