high school

Higher education

The heart of early intervention is academic preparation and proper course selection. Studies show that many students who might be admitted to postsecondary schools are not taking courses at the high school level that would prepare them to do so.

Students, regardless of their postsecondary plans, should be counseled by parents, teachers, and counselors to pursue a challenging program of study in high school. Just because a student isn't planning on college or career training immediately after high school, that doesn't mean he might not change his mind later on. Students should be encouraged to keep "as many doors open" as possible. It is all part of helping them realize postsecondary options when the time is right!
