The Community College Research Center at Columbia University Teachers College has developed a new framework urging colleges and K12 districts to work together to ensure students take dual enrollment courses with vision, preparation and an eye toward postsecondary success.
In the wake of the dismissal of race-conscious admissions, superintendents and administrators must understand the importance of hiring counselors and partnering with local colleges and universities to ensure their marginalized students have access postsecondary opportunities.
"I try to be ever-present," is how Superintendent Brian Nichols describes his effort to stay connected and engaged with his students, staff and community at New Kent County Public Schools in Virginia. "When kids see me, they call me by name—I have 3,500 kids and I'm getting to where I can call them by name."
Affordability is one of the primary reasons middle and high school students simply can't see themselves enrolling in college. Here's what leaders need to know.
More than half of the graduating class of 2023 is opting out of the traditional four-year college education, according to a survey released Tuesday. While these numbers are no cause for alarm, leaders should be concerned that nearly one-third of the graduates were not aware of the career and technical education programs that would have given them alternative paths.
It's true what they say: a traditional four-year college education isn't for everyone. But virtually every kid who walks the hallways of Township High School District 214's six schools will get a job at some point in their lives.
With every decision feeling more divisive, technology evolving at hyperspeed, and the needs of school communities getting greater, leaders today have to adapt, innovate, and communicate in fundamentally different ways.
"We're excited and maybe a little bit nervous," Hardin County Schools Superintendent Teresa Morgan says as she and her team get ready to make room for an influx of 24,000 to 37,000 residents over the next decade.
