The U.S. Department of Education, under the leadership of U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, is committed to ensuring an inclusive and accessible higher education system. As part of that commitment, the Department has developed various tools and resources that both foster transparency for users and inform college and career decision making.
The Department is introducing two new innovative toolkits that extend the utility and capabilities of our College Scorecard; one tailored specifically for teachers, and another for school counselors and college access advisors. Collectively, these resources are designed to equip our education professionals with the information and tools they need to guide students towards their best postsecondary education decision. Relatedly, to help inform that process with up-to-date, objective information, the Department recently refreshed several of Scorecard’s key data points such as post completion earning calculations at the institutional and program level to ensure users have access to the most recent value outcomes when comparing programs of study and institutions. You can read more in a new post on the Department's Homeroom blog. To access these toolkits and how to integrate them into your educational practices, please click on the “Resources ” tab located at the top right of the College Scorecard page.
The Department will also be hosting a public webinar on August 1st with the American School Counselor Association to share these toolkits and how to use the College Scorecard in the classroom. You can register for the webinar here. Please note that while the event is open to the public, attendees will need to create a free account with ASCA in order to register. |
