This tool kit contains the tools necessary to produce shared counselor partnerships for Texas area school districts to help students make a seamless transition from high school to postsecondary education opportunities. Among the topics discussed in the first eight sections are the following: developing the model; identifying/describing existing counselor partnerships and best practices; planning/designing partnerships (strategic planning, developing program goals and a plan of operation, assessing chances for success, leveraging local resources, building advisory committees, funding/grant writing); developing a program; selecting an operational format (program goals, program structure, components, developing a plan of operations and calendar of events/activities, formulating an evaluation model); identifying counselor and program coordinator roles and responsibilities; planning/delivering training to student services specialists; and launching the program (designing effective brochures, newsletters, news releases, and publicity materials). The final section contains samples of materials and activities including the survey instrument that have been implemented to meet the goals of the shared counselor partnership in Texas' North Harris Montgomery Community College District and five other initiatives in Texas.
