To support efforts to increase postsecondary access for all students, the U.S. Department of Education has recently released new resources on Doing What Works, a website that translates research-based practices into practical tools for school improvement. The topic, Helping Students Navigate the Path to College offers free, online resources that translate research-based practices from the IES Practice Guide into tools and multimedia products to support educators seeking to increase postsecondary access.
Under this new topic area, Doing What Works provides resources for four research-based practices:
- Prepare Students Academically: Prepare all students for college-level work and ensure they understand college-readiness standards.
- Assess and Intervene: Use assessment measures to inform students about their college readiness and close identified gaps.
- Foster College Aspirations: Surround students with adults and peers who support their college-going aspirations.
- Assist with College Entry: Help students and families understand and complete steps for college entry and financial aid.
