Helping Students Navigate the Path to College: What High Schools Can Do

Published in September 2009, this guide was prepared for the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Institute of Education Sciences by the What Works Clearinghouse, a project of Mathematica Policy Research. It is intended to help schools and districts develop practices to increase access to higher education. It can be useful for individuals who work in schools and districts in planning and executing strategies to improve preparation for, and access to, higher education. A panel of experts in college access programs and strategies and in research methods developed the recommendations in this guide. It contains specific steps on how to implement the recommendations that are targeted at school and district-level administrators, teachers, counselors, and related education staff.
