Title:
The Role of High School Career-Focused Advising in Students’ Postsecondary Planning: A Qualitative Study Research Brief
Description:
This brief summarizes the results of a study that examined the level of support high school students receive for college and career planning, the mechanisms through which they receive this support, and how this varies across students and settings. The brief explores how advising is structured, how students get information about connecting courses to college and careers, how school culture and structure influence advising, whether advising differs based on student background, how advising changes over time, and what students say about the influence of advising on their high school activities and postsecondary plans. The brief concludes with a discussion of policy implications.
