Planning Tools for Student Supports

Tool Set D

Counselors and other educators should create multiple opportunities for students to become active participants in their college journeys. 

Schools can develop a wide variety of structures to disseminate college knowledge—such as one-on-one, small group, and/or whole group activities. Tool Set D contains several examples from Network for College Success partner schools on how to structure activities to support students and their postsecondary efforts. The following four-year models are a great starting point for Counseling  Departments and Postsecondary Leadership Teams (PLTs) to draft social-emotional learning supports and postsecondary expectations for all grade levels.
