[Register to save your seat] EAB's Lunch and Learn Session at ASDC CEL 2018

Despite improvements in college going rates, significant gaps in college attendance remain across racial and income groups. Perhaps most concerning, degree attainment gaps have grown. Evidence would suggest that there are significant groups of underrepresented and low-income students who have the academic ability to succeed in post-secondary education, but never get the chance. This presentation will provide superintendents with proven strategies to help their districts close that gap.

Key takeaways for superintendents:

• How can districts close the opportunity gap for enrollment in advanced coursework while maintaining academic rigor?
  
• What low-cost, high-impact interventions can schools employ to help students navigate the increasingly complex process of applying to and matriculating in college?
  
• What are the best approaches for guiding students to the postsecondary institutions where they are most likely to graduate?
  

Superintendents will learn about proven best practices employed by a variety of districts across the nation to address the key drivers of the college access gap, and have the opportunity to discuss approaches that they have employed and found successful in their districts.
