增加进入大学的机会和坚持是当今教育的关键问题之一，并为中学如何准备和支持学生驾驭这一日益复杂的过程提出了多重挑战。有越来越多的干预措施旨在改善高中生的大学入学和入学率;这对低收入家庭和第一代大学生来说尤其如此，因为许多人面临不上大学的风险。了解从高中到大学过渡所面临的障碍是关键的一步。这些障碍包括许多因素--缺乏家庭或学校的资源，没有严格的大学预科课程或没有利用这些课程，以及对大学入学过程的误解或错误信息。我们联系了一些学者，他们不仅对改善学院的干预措施进行了严格的评估，我们不仅是一个正在进行的过程，而且是在开发创新和有效的方法来缓解过渡过程的最前沿。作者提出的一个重要问题是高中的作用。关于高中是否应该比现在更积极地为学生上大学做准备，有相当多的关注。针对这一问题，在高中开展了各种实验，旨在帮助青少年制定高中毕业后的未来计划，并完成毕业后继续接受教育的必要步骤。其中一些实验包括大型的机构举措，涉及重组学校，使其更加专注于大学;其他一些则是较小的干预措施，提供信息，加强与家长的联系，协助申请大学的过程，包括经济援助，并促进战略规划。虽然在这个问题上的一些干预措施是专为全校范围内实施，其他人更有针对性的干预措施，侧重于大学过程的一个方面，如财政援助，但所有认识到高中在塑造学生的大学的愿望和行为的作用。
Increasing access to and persistence in college is one of the critical issues in education today and presents multiple challenges for secondary schools for how to prepare and support their students to navigate this increasingly complex process. There are a growing number of interventions designed to improve college access and matriculation for high school students; this is particularly the case for low-income families and first-generation college-goers as many are at risk for not attending college. Gaining an understanding about the barriers facing the transition from high school to college is a crucial step. These obstacles include a multitude of factors—lack of access to resources at home or school, not having a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum or not taking advantage of these courses when available, and misperceptions or faulty information about the college-going process.In putting together this issue, we contacted scholars who not only conduct rigorous evaluations of interventions to improve the college-going process but also are at the forefront of developing innovative and effective ways to ease the transition process. One essential question raised by the contributors is the role of the high school. There is considerable attention regarding whether high schools should take a more active role than they currently do in preparing students for college. In response to this question, various experiments have been implemented in high schools that are designed to assist adolescents in forming their future plans after high school and complete the necessary steps to continue their education after graduation. Some of these experiments include large institutional initiatives that involve restructuring schools to become more college focused; others are smaller interventions that provide information, strengthen ties with parents, assist in the application process to college including financial aid, and promote strategic planning. While some of the interventions in this issue are designed for school-wide implementation, others are more targeted interventions that focus on one aspect of the college process, such as financial aid, but all recognize the role of high schools in shaping students’ college-going aspirations and behavior.
