The NExT initiative at Northeastern University afforded me opportunities to see innovative schools across the U.S. and it irrevocably changed my views of K12 education and the possibilities afforded to students when "we"/adults with preconceived notions of school get out of the way for kids to explore their curiosity, to develop their creativity, to follow their passions. When we support young people in their efforts - kids achieve more than we can imagine for them. They ARE the future, and our adult and systemic work is to transform educational systems that close opportunity gaps for ALL kids. https://lnkd.in/ezAb_ktj

#SimonSays: TRIOWorks! Community colleges are the primary pathway to higher education and a brighter future for both traditional and nontraditional students who are mainly from underrepresented populations. Dr. Shrylin Davis and I are excited to #TalkTRIOWorks at the Louisiana Community and Technical Community System Colleges Conference. The purpose of this workshop is to explain how TRIO programs, specifically the Student Support Services (SSS) Program, can assist community colleges in improving the retention, graduation, and transfer rates of low-income and first-generation students. We will share what TRIO is, how TRIO works in a community college setting, and how community colleges can successfully apply for the upcoming SSS grant opportunity to leverage TRIO grants to impact their college's access and success agenda of low-income and first-generation students. #TRIODoctorsatWork #TRIOConsultants #letstalktrio #TRIOLeaders #TRIODirectors #TRIOGrantWRiters #JSDConsulting #simonsaysconsulting

There may not be such a thing as a "silver bullet" when it comes to education and post-secondary success, but having lived college access and success models the last 12 years, and probably the next 12 years, Early College is as close as we have. Although Massachusetts is first in just about every education category available, we are way behind in providing access to Early College for high school students across the Commonwealth. So proud of what we have been able to do at Wentworth Institute of Technology, but the higher education industry must continue opening doors to make Early College an opportunity for all Massachusetts high school students. #earlycollege #collegeaccess

Dual enrollment not only helped me prepare for college but helped me with the cost of getting a college education. I’ll never forget taking my FIU dual enrollment sheet to my high school counselor junior year and having her tell me “dual enrollment doesn’t exist” when I had the physical sheet of paper for her to sign for my two dual enrollment courses in front of her. We need to rise up and prepare the next generation by educating them on opportunities like dual enrollment. World peace certainly won’t be attained by simply spreading awareness of opportunities to pursue higher education but long story short i whole heartedly believe that one way we make the world a better place in a practical sense is by sharing resources and opportunities, especially education centered. College certainly isn’t a requirement for success but SO MANY more than capable students miss out on the *opportunity* to pursue higher education because of a lack of knowledge. Reminds me of a Bible verse my people perish for a lack of knowledge. PLEASE share opportunities you know of for students however you can. High school counselors tend to be overworked, underpaid, and honestly many cap advisors don’t even know what they’re doing… It takes a tribe, a community, let’s be part of ensuring more students are at least aware of available resources to help them develop both academically / professionally and personally, PLEASE!
