Description¶

Figure 2 presents a model specifying the content of summer melt interventions, showing four major kinds of tasks required of college-intending graduates: postsecondary planning, financing, logistics/information, and anticipatory socialization. The model indicates interrelations among requirements: financing obstacles force students back into planning decisions, and informational barriers within logistics can likewise send students back to financing tasks. Very few low-income participants reached the anticipatory socialization level that higher-income students typically occupy.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Intervention content must address interrelated clusters of financial, logistical, and socialization tasks rather than any single task type

Constraints¶

Supports that help students actualize admission might have limited relevance to increasing their capacity to succeed academically once enrolled

Target Learners¶

college-intending low-income high school graduates

Learning Goals¶

completing pre-enrollment tasks and making an optimal transition into college
