Abstract

This is the first book of its kind that weaves educational theory with hands-on practical experience. For this reason, it is tremendously important to the industry. Simply gathering experts in this area for discussion and collaboration is often challenging. The general themes outlined here establish a foundation for which to delve more deeply into particular areas while at the same time, each individual author brings a fresh approach to the topic. It is clear, even in this collection that different authors look at the same question or topic through a different lens. Over time it will be important to understand to celebrate these differences yet hold onto the commonalities in order to find new, creative ways to grow. Now that mainstream categorization exists, organizations such as the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) and the Association for Pre-College Programs Directors, industry professionals are able to begin to research and collect data over time that will develop processes that allow to further determine best practices and outcome-focused opportunities grounded in fact, scalable, and reproducible.
