Kelcie Miles
admin
In order to understand the role of the school counselor in preparing Latino and other underrepresented students for the transition to college, Excelencia in Education and NACAC conducted a national survey and observed counseling practices at six US high schools that were successfully supporting underrepresented populations during the college application process.
Key Findings
- The frequency of individualized college counseling activities had a positive effect on four-year college enrollment in both the majoring white, non-Hispanic, and majority non-white models
- At schools with majority non-white student populations, counselor time spent on occupational counseling and time spent on teaching were negatively related to two-year enrollment.
- The frequent use of individualized counseling activities was positively related to total college enrollment at majority non-white schools.
