I’ve had such an incredible crash course in the power, possibility and urgency of inclusive R and D for education. One of the most striking things I’ve learned since I joined Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) is that educators often find ourselves stuck between competing incentive structures. On one hand there is an incredible academic network whose ideas, research and knowledge is essential but whose incentives are often geared towards publication and knowledge generation. And on the other pole is tech enabled tools and companies - which often provide essential services but whose incentives are tied to scale and engagement. While these two are essential to the future of education they are also insufficient. The Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) is building a new incentive architecture in which incredible partners like Andres Bustamante and Kreshnik Begolli and their incredible team can find the time, space and support to ask different questions and find new ways to the answers. This is essential to the future of education and they are a headlight in the work of what doing things differently might look like.

WHAT'S YOUR "WHY" Saint Mark's High School brothers, Tyler and Kyle Iudica are proud to continue their Spartan Family Legacy, but what led them to their decision to enroll at Saint Mark's High School from H.B. du Pont Middle School?! "I chose Saint Mark's High School because it felt like home from the start. The open house revealed exciting academic plans, solidifying it as the perfect place for my education. Conversations with coaches were crucial in helping me decide because sports are integral to who I am. Hearing President Tom Fertal express his dedication and plans for improvements, made me know that I was standing in the school of my future." -Tyler Iudica '25 "Choosing Saint Mark's High School was an easy decision for me. It's the only school that felt like home from the first time I stepped on campus. Growing up, attending events with my proud alumni parents created a strong connection. The good class sizes and a range of Honors level courses made the decision even easier. Additionally, the opportunities in the sports programs got me genuinely excited to attend. Saint Marks is a tight-knit community, focusing not just on education but also on forming meaningful connections beyond the classroom." - Kyle Iudica '27 Spartans, what is your "WHY"? Why will you select Saint Mark's for high school? Enrollment agreements for the Saint Mark's Class of 2028 are due February 15th. Completing an enrollment agreement by 2/15 claims any awards that a student has on file, and officially enrolls them in the Class of 2028. Due to the immense interest in Saint Mark's High School, awards that are not claimed by 2/15 will be terminated. Admitted students who do not enroll by 2/15 cannot be guaranteed a seat in the Saint Mark's Class of 2028. Questions?: Admissions@stmarkshs.net or 302-757-8721 It is - without a doubt - the best time to be a Spartan! #SaintMarksHS #AllThingsPossible #SpartanStrong

We were so excited last week to unveil a new campaign we're launching this summer at American Student Assistance with Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist Common: #IAmFreeToDream. This campaign centers the dreams of "opportunity" youth–the 5 million+ kids in the U.S. neither working nor in school–including those involved in the justice system. The power of dreams for our young people simply cannot be understated. But in order to help kids in every corner of the country understand and believe that their dreams are attainable, we must first address and mitigate the many systemic barriers that can often inhibit them from even feeling that they have permission to dream big. Then, we must ensure that we're able to extend resources to help them bridge those dreams to potential education and career pathways. Explore the latest edition of ASA's newsletter, PivotED, where I've outlined some important resources we're looking at to inform this work, as well as some promising models for engaging kids in #careerreadiness learning!

Proud to be a University of South Carolina Gamecock! There are lots of reasons to have Gamecock pride, but today my pride focuses of access and affordability of higher education for South Carolina high school graduates. Starting with admissions for the fall 2024 semester, USC will admit all students in the top 10 percent of their class at South Carolina high schools. Admissions = access. But as President Amiridis wrote, “…access without affordability is sometimes meaningless.” So in addition to access/admission, the USC Commitment will cover costs of tuition and academic fees for South Carolina students who are in the top 10% of their graduating class and whose family income is less than $80,000. Accesss and affordability… that’s how change, how difference is made. Go Gamecocks!
