The purpose of this workshop series is to bring together high school and college instructors and librarians to share and discuss common teaching challenges, barriers and aids in helping high school students make a successful transition to college. In the series, participants revised high school curricular units in English and social studies using shared objectives for high school seniors and college freshmen and shared understanding of the challenges and realities teachers and students face. It is hoped that high school faculty will be able to implement the revised units during spring 2013. The workshop took place in the Architecture Library at City College, CUNY.
