CollegeSpring

As principal, Dr. Samantha Brooks is steadfast in her pursuit to provide the resources that her students at North Houston Early College High School need for success. This #nationalprincipalsmonth, we share our deepest gratitude to partners like Dr. Brooks. Together, we are able to help students unlock greater college and career opportunities. Dr. Brooks shares, "For the students who have academic gaps or haven't had the challenge of an assessment like the SAT before, the [CollegeSpring] test provides good data so that they know exactly where their strengths and weaknesses are and how we can tackle them quickly and effectively so that we can yield those results for them when they take their big test in the spring." Watch the video below to hear from Dr. Brooks and learn more about our partnership with NHECHS. https://lnkd.in/gye4k_Ep

Welcome back to our district and school partners, teachers, and students! This time of year sparks energy that only the back-to-school season can create, and we support our teachers and students to set goals that help them discover their full potential and unlock possibilities, greater choices, and life-changing opportunities. As CollegeSpring President Dr. Paula Gama Garcia shares in her new blog post, "Back-to-school season continues to ring true for me as the launch of something new, something potentially great; it’s an innate feeling that possibility lies ahead. It is our job at CollegeSpring to capitalize on this feeling of possibility and instill in our students the year-long motivation and confidence they need for success."

CEO Yoon S. Choi, Ph.D. argues in her new op-ed for EdSource that transparency is critical to an equitable admissions landscape that drives student empowerment and choice. Colleges may have unique admissions policies, but they can give every student a fair shot by promoting them with the same standard of clarity and information.
