College Talk Ideas for the Classroom:

Create a "College Corner" so students see college catalogs and posters every day. When students talk about future careers, tell them what type of education they'll need to get there Wear your college sweatshirt to school and tell your students why you picked that college. Invite a guest speaker/or alumnus to talk about how they got to college. Tell your students you think they are college material.
