In this session, we will present a collaborative research model that is an alternative to more traditional research models. In this model, college professors, high school teachers, and high school students from an urban school work together to research questions that are generated by the students about their own educational experiences. The students will present some of the work they have done over the last year on the topic of college readiness. The catalyst for this research was the state report that of the students who make it to graduation in the Rochester City School District (only 48%), only 5% are “college ready.”=0D=0ARoundtable VI:  SOCIAL JUSTICE PAST AND PRESENT3:10-4:30 PM=0D=0AWilliam Graf (Religious Studies): “The Church’s Best Kept Secret: Catholic Social Teachings”; Tim Madigan (Philosophy): “Frederick Douglass, Ireland and the Great Famine”; Jim Wood (Ralph C.
