Did you know Tom Hanks got his start in the community college system? Happy Community College Month! Here's a snapshot of why I believe YOUR community college is the cornerstone of learning and opportunity: ⇨ Accessibility: They open academic doors for nearly half of the U.S. undergraduate population, democratizing higher education. ⇨ Affordability: Their lower tuition fees break down financial barriers, making dreams attainable for many. ⇨ Economic Catalysts: They fuel regional economies with skilled workers by aligning programs with local industry needs. ⇨ Lifelong Learning: They offer a sanctuary for continuous growth, from degree programs to personal enrichment courses. With that playful Tom Hanks signature smirk, 🥂 Let's raise a glass, or a textbook, whichever you have handy, to the unsung heroes of higher education. 🙌🏼 #edleadership #edleader #highered #higheredleadership #teamdevelopment #cancelaverage #leadership #leadershipdevelopment

By 2031, good jobs that are accessible to those with only a high school education will represent just 5% of all jobs, while 70% of jobs will require postsecondary education. Yet fewer than half of all young people in the United States have the postsecondary education needed to succeed in our economy, and we are confronting significant inequities in educational outcomes. Join us on December 4 for an online panel discussion with community college leaders about how we might advance postsecondary leadership in building pathways that connect high school, college, and careers, a priority we've named for our pathways work. #pathways #communitycollege #careerpreparation https://lnkd.in/dUQZ5CbX

Is Year-Round Schooling an Effective Measure Against Summer Learning Loss? According to the California Department of Education (2023), year-round education may positively affect student achievement, especially for disadvantaged students. Shorter, more frequent breaks minimize the loss of information retention during the summer months. Also, there are more enrichment opportunities for students during the breaks. In this week's video, we'll discuss the benefits of Year-Round Schooling and whether it is an effective measure against summer learning loss. #EducationalLeader, Kim “When students are led well, they learn well.” The views shared in the Educational Leadership Moment are solely mine and do not reflect the positions of my employer or any entity within the local, state, or federal government sectors. #Leadership #Education

Summer Reading Programs Combat Learning Loss Summer break is traditionally a period for students to unwind from the structured school environment. Yet, this recess can also usher in the “summer slide,” a period where students, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, tend to lose crucial academic skills. This decay is notably severe in fundamental areas such as mathematics and reading. In today's video, we'll discuss one of the most potent defenses against the summer slide: summer reading programs! #EducationalLeader, Kim “When students are led well, they learn well.” The views shared in the Educational Leadership Moment are solely mine and do not reflect the positions of my employer or any entity within the local, state, or federal government sectors. #Education #Leadership

Should higher ed be everything to everyone? I’m noticing a trend right now in that direction: - community colleges offering 4-year degrees - liberal arts schools offering hard science specializations - public university systems offering PhD programs. There is nothing wrong with adapting and evolving. It’s critical if schools hope to remain relevant. Society is changing; higher ed should, too. But those changes should be guided by fulfilling your school’s unique mission. Who are you here to serve? You can try to be everything to everyone. But in my experience, schools succeed when they are true to themselves. #highereducation #highereducationleadership

"Education is the cornerstone of progress and the foundation upon which societies thrive. As an educational leader, I am guided by the belief that every student has the potential to excel and make a meaningful contribution to the world. Muah Hoges once said, 'Education is the key to unlocking the potential within each individual.' This quote resonates deeply with me because it encapsulates the transformative power of education." "Effective educational leadership is about fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. It's about creating an inclusive and supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and discover. By cultivating a growth mindset and providing personalized learning experiences, we empower students to become lifelong learners and critical thinkers. As Muah Hoges aptly stated, 'Education is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it is about meeting the unique needs of every learner.'" "Moreover, educational leadership extends beyond the walls of the classroom. It involves forging strong partnerships with parents, communities, and stakeholders to create a cohesive support system for students. By fostering collaboration and communication, we can harness the collective wisdom and resources to ensure every student has access to high-quality education. In the words of Muah Hoges, 'Education is a shared responsibility; it takes a village to raise a child.' As educational leaders, it is our duty to inspire, empower, and uplift the next generation."

This is a thought provoking program for school leaders to think with a future focused lens about schools and to expand your thinking about what success looks like and the narrative around education. https://lnkd.in/gfYUnmU3
A ‘visionary’ approach adopted by school leaders can make all the difference to a student’s long-term success. It’s also about equipping our young people for stability and to thrive as young adults. Learn more about how Victoria Triantafyllou, Assistant Principal at Richmond High School, and Principal from Rowville Secondary College Julie Kennedy, gained valuable frameworks for focusing on student success beyond the school years: go.vic.gov.au/4caK0Dq #ProfessionalDevelopment #education #Academy

Higher ed and the corporate world need a symbiotic relationship, not a parasitic one. The key is making sure both parties get what they need. But I find it fascinating when higher ed acts as though it’s completely isolated from commerce. After all, many colleges bear names like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Vanderbilt. I wrote about the opportunity for corporate patronage in higher ed for Chief Learning Officer. https://bit.ly/3H2QNSr Please check it out and let me know your thoughts. Do you think higher education should be more or less engaged with the corporate sector? #corporatelearning #highereducation #highereducationleadership

I help Higher Ed retain more staff and enroll more students | Vice President, TCS | Workshop Leader and Enrollment Communication Expert | Keynote Speaker | Newsletter Editor/Publisher | Host of Mission Admissions Podcast
Two of the many thoughts 💭 that resonated with the team at University of Northern Colorado today. Prospective students will tell you what they don’t like and what their concerns are about college, your school, etc if you ask better questions. Answering a student’s question is great, but improving your level of responsiveness by being more curious and asking follow up questions will help you be more memorable. #highered #higheredmarketing #higheredleadership #emchat
