College & Career Readiness:
What Parents and Students Need to Know and Do Now
Perfect for:
Principals, Counselors,
Title 1/Federal Program
Directors, Curr./Instr.
Directors, more!
For middle and high school students, and the parents
and educators who guide them, the time to start
mapping the route to student success in college
and a career is TODAY. Multiple research studies
show that the strongest predictors of college attendance
and completion, particularly for minority and
low-income students, are academic preparation, social
support, access to information, parental involvement
and knowledge about college and financial aid. As
family involvement is critical, schools must engage
parents to ensure that students understand and take
the steps necessary to reach their goals.
In over 150 pages, our College & Career
Readiness kit helps you engage ALL parents and
students (even hard-to-reach parents or those with
language barriers) to plan and prepare students for
college and a career using research-based solutions.
In the guided parent presentation and reproducible
handouts, parents and students: create an action plan
for success, including goals and expectations and a
four-year plan of courses; identify the student’s
strengths, interests and education options; prepare
for parent/counselor/teacher/ student conferences on
college and career readiness and more. They will
learn ways to: build a support network and student
responsibility for learning, get ready for important
testing, pay for college, and strengthen study habits.
Staff can keep parents and students engaged
all year long, year-after-year with:
• A DVD containing two videos (one middle school
& one high school) for parents: “The Roadmap to
College & Career Readiness.” Each video discusses
the top 10 level-appropriate ways that parents can
help students navigate their way to college and a
career. Use the video on its own or as an introduction
to a longer parent meeting.
• Two level-appropriate Leader’s Guides that provide
outline/details for the parent presentation and related
materials that include tips for successful meetings.
• A research review for school leaders called,
Making the Case: The Value of Parent and Student
Preparation to College and Career Readiness, that
will help you build support and understanding
among staff, parents and students.
• Reproducible (print, website, social media) materials
for engaging parents and students that include
level-appropriate sample informational letters, meeting
invitations and other publicity materials.
• 50 copies each of two parent brochures: Seven
Habits of Highly Responsible Students and Expect the
Best from Your Child—And Get It! (Over $50 value!)
• A binder and CD containing the PowerPoint®
slides for the parent meeting, leader’s presentation
guides and all reproducible materials.
The value of school, parent and student collaboration
in preparing pathways to college and a career is
limitless. Every important decision is a building block
that can affect students’ lifelong earning potential.
This kit can be your essential guide to engaging families
to prepare students for college and a career.
