Overview

Welcome to
Outward In Learning


My name is Darryl Williams and I started Outward In Learning to help students transition and be successful in their first year of college.  In my 20+ years of teaching experience in higher education, I have witnessed new students entering college who are "college ready" but are not ready for college.   

Outward In Learning has created methods to help students smoothly transition to college level coursework through preparation and development of an academic mindset and behavior that promote success. 

Student's first semester and year are critical for success in college. Without the right preparation, students are at risk of misalignment with their academic expectations which can be costly in many ways. With the first year drop-out rates at 24.1% (almost 1 out of 4 students), many cannot afford to not be prepared!

I would like to see the student succeed as they make the important transition into higher education. You will find throughout the curriculum I provide that I enjoy sports, automobile racing, and powerful stories of motivation and inspiration.

"The course was a great eye-opener to the importance of time management. Procrastination is not only something that affects us in college, it continues with us after graduation and impacts our post-grad lives. Online learning can be challenging for us all, as the pandemic has shown us, but the layout of this course makes it easy to follow and comprehend the material. I learned a lot and I plan to implement what I've learned into my life so I can improve my time management skills!"

"To me this course was something I wanted to pay attention to because I could use it and apply it in real life. It was a topic I knew I needed to work on but never did anything about it until this course. This course broke it down into easy elements for me to make sure I succeed and get better at not procrastinating."

When I first started coaching sessions with Outward In Learning I wasn't expecting much. I was expecting just to learn simple tricks and other stuff to help me through college. But what I got was more advanced and way more helpful then I ever thought!!

Now I feel ahead of the game since I am a Junior in high school. I have time to practice all the important stuff I've learned so it becomes my day to day routine. When I do go to college of course it's still going to be overwhelming and new but I'll be prepared and won't have to make drastic changes to my routine. 
The coaching program saved me from the stress I would of felt going to college and feeling completely overwhelmed about all the new stuff I will be introduced to.
I owe all of that thanks to Darryl.
