The Coalition for College will lead an interactive panel discussion on successful strategies for engaging students in the college planning process early in their high school years. Come hear about innovative approaches that encourage reflection and exploration and help students make the most of their high school years. Panelists will share their insights and experiences with different programs that share a common goal: to support students throughout high school and extend the runway to college matriculation, persistence, and graduation.
Guiding Questions:
1) Does your school or organization have an early engagement strategy for getting 9th and 10th grade students involved in the college planning process? Why or why not?
2) What aspects of the college planning process are best introduced to students early in their high school years?
3) How does your school or organization encourage students to make the most of their high school years? How do you support their efforts?
