Mind the Gap: Connecting K–12 and Higher Education Educators to Improve the Student Experience - Matthew W. Stoltzfus, Ben Scragg, and Cory Tressler, EDUCAUSE Review

Each fall, over 7,000 recent high school graduates enroll in courses at The Ohio State University. With each incoming class comes a group of students with increasingly higher composite ACT/SAT scores and, unsurprisingly, increasingly higher expectations for an engaging, world-class education. As students transition from a high school to a college/university setting, the role of the teacher in their educational experience changes as well. In some cases, particularly at Ohio State, students step into a classroom comprising more students than were in their entire graduating high school class. Many students go from high school teacher to college professor with little preparation for this shift. http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/mind-gap-connecting-k12-and-higher-education-educators-improve-student-experience
