Reach for Big Results
College Access Collaborative
The NTN College Access Collaborative is a cohort of 10-15 high schools with a shared aim of opening doors for students often overlooked in postsecondary planning. A faster way to improve, this approach relies on shared learning to make change stick and spread. As part of the Collaborative, school teams of teachers, counselors, and administrators will learn to use data and relationships to make future planning a school-wide responsibility.
This 1-year experience includes:
- Proven practices across Junior Planning, Application Support, Financial Access, and Senior Transition
- Three two-day virtual meetings for Collaborative school teams to connect, learn together, and plan next steps
- Monthly virtual gatherings designed to support cross-school collaboration and problem-solving
