Helping Students Navigate the Path To College: What High Schools Can Do
Report
https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/pdf/practiceguides/higher_ed_pg_091509.pdf
A well-educated workforce is critical for maintaining the economic competitiveness of the United States. The strength of the economy hinges on the education system’s ability to meet the demand for educated workers, so calls are always being made to improve access to higher education and to encourage students and adults to continue their education beyond high school. But reaching college remains a challenge for many low-income and potentially first-generation students who are not academically prepared or who lack knowledge about how to apply to, and pay for, college. College enrollment rates for these students lag behind those of their peers despite improvements in college attendance. This practice guide from the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) recommends five steps that educators, administrators, and policy makers can take, beginning in 9th grade, to prepare students for college, assist them in completing the steps to college entry, and improve their likelihood of enrolling in college, as well as the research evidence that supports these recommendations.

Successful Systems of Care
Report

Systematic Reviews of Research: Postsecondary Transitions – Identifying Effective Models and Practices
Report
https://tinyurl.com/yftk7z2
This report focuses on transition programs for youth to postsecondary education, addressing the following questions: (a) What models or programs of transition exist? (b) On what basis can it be said that one transition program is more effective than another (how is successful transition defined)? (c) How are transition models and programs evaluated? and (d) What is the impact of transition programs, specifically those that aim to facilitate transition from one educational system to another, to program completion, or to specific career-related employment for disadvantaged youth? From a public policy perspective, this review points to the need for more investment in rigorous studies that investigate in more depth and detail the specific aspects of programs associated with program success. Studies are also needed on the interaction between programs and student characteristics to determine what types of programs are most effective for which students.
