| Abstract | The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the delivery and content of a set of classroom guidance lessons designed to enhance postsecondary education-going literacy, postsecondary education-going access aspirations, and career and college readiness self-efficacy of 9th grade students attending a high school in a southeastern rural community. For the current study, an pretest-posttest nonequivalent quasi-experimental groups design was used to determine if the curriculum guidance intervention modules had a significant effect on students' postsecondary education-going literacy, postsecondary education-going access aspirations, and career and college readiness self-efficacy. In this design, participants were non-randomly assigned to existing classroom groups. Classroom groups were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment and alternative treatment control group. The treatment condition consisted of students enrolled in four intact ninth grade English classes (N = 88). The control condition consisted of four other ninth grade English classes (N = 75). All eight classes were stratified by academic level (e.g., core/inclusion, core, honors, and IB) and randomly assigned to the two conditions. Two manipulation check measures, the Expectancy for Success (EFS) and the Attitude Toward Treatment (ATT) scales were, used to determine whether or not the manipulation of the independent variable has had its intended effect on the participants. There were no differences between conditions on the EFS measure at the beginning of the study and there were differences favoring the treatment conditions on the ATT at the end of the study. Pre-and post-test one-way MANOVAs were conducted to compare treatment and control conditions on each of the three dependent measures. The MANOVA pretest analysis indicated no significant difference between treatment and alternative treatment conditions during the preliminary analysis. The MANOVA posttest showed a significant difference between control and treatment conditions. Follow-up one-way ANOVAs indicated that there were significant treatment effects factoring the classroom guidance condition on the postsecondary education-going literacy and career and college readiness self-efficacy measures but not on the postsecondary education-going access aspiration measure. Effect measures across gender and race were significant, in that all male, white, and Hispanic scores across postsecondary education-going literacy and career and college-readiness self-efficacy scores improved. However, controlling for GPA and first-generation, students scores were not significant requiring more inquiry.
