Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD’s Post

Whatta mess. This article is a good compilation of the challenges that students are facing as they apply to college this year. 🤯 Court ruling on race in admissions - students don't know if showing up as their true selves by mentioning race in their applications is hurting them. 🤯 Delay in FAFSA - athletes having to make decisions about college without getting their aid awards. 🤯 Change in FAFSA - students with undocumented parents having a hard time submitting FAFSA since now the online system doesn't accept signatures from parents without social security numbers. 🤯 Test Optional - students don't know if they should submit scores since schools vary in how they view them. Test optional, test recommended, test required, or the school that is test optional to apply but you need SAT scores to qualify for merit aid. Should I keep going? #collegeadmissions https://lnkd.in/epbpWkP9

In a huge, but not unexpected development, the NLRB has ruled that Dartmouth men’s basketball players are employees of the school. https://lnkd.in/gAqUwaS4 While Dartmouth will likely appeal this decision, as I told Eric Prisbell this decision shows a future model for college athletics will include at least some of the athletes as employees. Enforceable rules on things like player compensation and player movement will be allowed through collective bargaining. It’s time to accept this reality and work on the model that acknowledges this. #ncaa #collegeathletics #collegeathletes #sportslaw #laborlaw

After the January 6th launch, these teams are deep into build season and getting ready for the March District Events. “Gracious professionalism” in the FIRST Robotics League encourages participants to act with integrity, respect, and cooperation, fostering a positive atmosphere. “Coopertition" combines cooperation and competition, emphasizing that teams can compete vigorously while still assisting and valuing one another. These concepts promote a supportive community, enhance the learning experience, and contribute to the development of well-rounded individuals who value both competition and collaboration in the pursuit of shared goals. Thrilled that these students are learning these concepts and behaviors in high school! How do you embrace and employ these concepts in your professional and personal life? #firstrobotics #stem #futureleaders #graciousprofessionalism #coopertition #mentoring

Do you need an immediate solution to connect students with lessons and reintegrate them back into the classroom? School attendance is back at the top of the news agenda in the UK, but over 1000 schools, MATs and 50 local authorities are already using AV1 to manage persistent absence in the UK alone. Both the government and opposition party have proposed various approaches to tackling persistent absence such as attendance hubs, mentoring and extra curricular activities which all have great value and potential. AV1 is a tried and tested approach which is cost effective. Also, telepresence formally added to the Department for Education's guidance just last month. If your school, MAT or local authority is concerned about persistence absence and need something new and cost effective in place right away, please reach out. Our friendly UK team offer advice and support on introducing AV1 to new schools and pupils, with a specific set of guidance on AV1 for EBSA.
