Abstract
School Counselors are in a unique position to close the achievement gaps experienced by marginalized students. School counselors are intimately involved in the selection of courses from 8th grade through senior year of high school. By identifying students of color that have not fully grasped their academic potential, school counselors can address the issue of equity and inclusion in advanced level courses and create a pathway to college for marginalized students.
