This brief is the first in a series of three that report the findings of a study examining promising practices for college and career access providers working in North Carolina (NC) high schools. This brief will focus on how these different organizations communicate, collaborate, and share information when working in the same school. The Belk Center research team collected and analyzed qualitative data from organizations and school staff working in three high schools in the northwest region of the state. The findings suggest that some schools are already implementing best practices to maximize communication, collaboration, and information sharing. Still, all schools could benefit from expanding these practices to increase their effectiveness and eliminate redundancies when serving students.
