Advice for Educational Counselors, Advisors, Faculty, and Staff: Paving the Pathways to Post-Secondary Education--Removing Barriers, & Creating Opportunities for Students of Color and First-Generation College Students to Flourish
Morales, Amanda R.; Hamann, Edmund T.

While some of the advice offered in this "Equity Tool" pertains to education environments students encounter after high school (i.e., after P-12), the transition to higher education is often fraught, especially for students of Color (SOCs) and high schools sometimes get blamed for not sufficiently helping students get ready when a better explanation of the challenge is the lack of articulation between high school and what comes after. This document is intended to help counselors, educators, and others with roles in various parts of students' transition from high school to postsecondary education to be on 'the same page.' In this document, the authors distinguish their advice into four categories or themes--Preparation, Recruitment, Retention, and Transfer. In each case, it is worth having high school teachers, counselors, and students know more about what can come next, including possible pitfalls that might be encountered by an SOC if/when they make it to higher education only to encounter a setting that seems unprepared to fully welcome them and/or otherwise retain them so that their studies culminate in earning associates and/or bachelors degrees. A key list of terms and additional resources for students and families are included.
