.@RANDCorporation's @camulhern: students of color who are matched with nonwhite counselors were more likely to graduate high school & go to college and had more positive outcomes than if they'd been matched to a counselor from a different racial background https://t.co/hi6BqzEbtT

Excited to share my JMP:

“Beyond Teachers: Estimating Individual Guidance Counselors’ Effects on Educational Attainment”

It provides the first quantitative evidence on counselors’ large effects on a variety of educational outcomes.

[Christine Mulhern @camulhern]

More broadly, these results indicate that counselors are an important education input and that personalized advising may be a useful way to improve social and economic outcomes in a variety of settings.
