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!"
