Summary: (summary from professionals.collegeboard.com) CollegeEd is College Board's collaborative academic and career planning curriculum for students, teachers, and parents, designed to empower students with the skills and knowledge to envision their goals and achieve success in higher education. The best way to encourage students to prepare for their postsecondary goals is to institute a college-going culture. A college-going culture builds the expectation of postsecondary education for all students — not just the best students. It inspires the best in every student, and it supports students in achieving their goals.
Use: This resource provides advice and suggestions on how to create a college-going culture in your school. The guide offers ideas for conducting assessments on your school's current culture, provides small-scale ideas and large-scale programs to make your school college friendly, and gives examples of how to engage the parent community in your school's college-going culture.
