Abstract: By 2030, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
expects that 60 percent or more of all new jobs in Texas will require
some postsecondary education. However, in 2019, less than half of the
Texas population ages 25-34 years (44.3 percent) had some type of
postsecondary credential. To close this gap and support districts in
meeting the state statute that requires schools to fully develop each
student's academic, career, personal, and social abilities, the
Counseling, Advising, and Student Supports team (under the Division of
College, Career, and Military Preparation) at the Texas Education
Agency established the Effective Advising Framework. This framework
expands access to effective college and career advising by streamlining
and modernizing advising offerings and services for secondary and
postsecondary students. The initiative aims to support students in
making informed decisions about postsecondary education and careers and
to offer professional development to educators and guidance counselors
on advising services.
This proposed study will examine the implementation of the
Effective Advising Framework across school districts participating in
the pilot program. Because it is expected that districts are applying
the framework in a variety of ways, the study will examine the
variation in implementation across districts, including an analysis of
the factors that support or hinder implementation. To do this, the
research team will collect data from public education staff at the
school, district, and regional levels. Surveys will be administered to
gather information on how and what is being implemented at each level
and what factors may act as barriers to successful implementation. One-
on-one interviews and focus group interviews will be conducted with a
subsample of respondents from each level to gather more in-depth
information on the successes and challenges they faced in applying the
framework. The results of this study will inform the continued
development of the framework and the associated resources and supports
that will be provided to districts and schools when the initiative is
implemented statewide.
