| Annotation: | This report describes the Student Success Toolkit Demonstration Project and the implementation of the
Equity Scorecard at these schools. The Student Success Toolkit Demonstration Project demonstrates that action research and inquiry are highly effective strategies for engaging teachers, guidance counselors, administrators, and private college access providers in a collaborative effort to understand low college-going rates from the perspective of racial equity. Interviews with participants in the Student Success Toolkit Demonstration Project reveal that powerful change can come when taken-for-granted practices are viewed in a fresh light. Hidden inadequacies emerge when we rigorously examine what we assume to be effective practices to promote college access. For practitioners, it is empowering to identify these obstacles and recognize that they often can be corrected through simple actions. |
