“Talking about a cliff can scare people and even bring on avoidance at a time when we need to be proactive,” says our CEO, Dr. Diane Walleser, about the enrollment cliff. Instead, we’re thinking of the higher education enrollment cliff as a river. Sure, there are ups and downs in the current, bends in the stream, rapids, and rocks. But if you have a great rowing team, a compass, and a map, you will navigate the waters just fine. “We can be prepared, have an alternate route, and pack a first aid kit,” says our Vice President of Account Services Lisa Kasper. So, if you’re biting your nails over the higher education enrollment cliff, try inflating a raft and going with the flow with us instead. And check out our latest blog, Don’t Be Afraid, Try First Aid: 5 Simple Higher Education Enrollment Cliff Tricks: https://ow.ly/73Sz50TBqU3 #enrollment #bestpractice #bestpractices #communitycollege #communitycolleges #studentsuccess #enrollmentservices #2yearcollegeexperts 

Navigating attending school for a growing group of young people can come with many complex barriers. School Avoidance Awareness Week is here to share valuable information for both parents and professionals, helping to educate on how we can meaningfully support young people and refrain from parent & child-shaming, gaslighting and making things worse for families? #SEN #SEND #advocacy #advocate

As I step away from Berwickshire High School for the next year, I want to congratulate our school community on the superb progress we’ve made together in 4 years. Our school today is unrecognisable from the one that was rated three ‘Weak’s & an ‘Unsatisfactory’ in its 2019 inspection. Recent staff quotes help capture just how far we’ve come: - “Our school ethos is excellent.” - “Behaviour is very good and something we should be proud of.” - “This is by far the best professional learning offer of any school.” - “Staff CPD just gets better and better.” In the re-inspection, inspectors reported: “The quality and consistency of learning, teaching and assessment has improved considerably” and “The school environment now provides a calm, orderly context for learning”. We’ve got to where we are by focusing on the right things, in the right way: 1. The continuous improvement of teaching practice. 2. High-quality professional development, focused on teaching and learning. Supporting both is our ongoing focus on high standards of behaviour across our school. A real team effort, and one everyone involved should feel very proud of.

Did you know that just 3-4 headers a day can add up to 15,000 by the age of 16? It's a common misconception that football-related CTE is only an issue for older, retired footballers. The reality is that CTE begins as an outcome of head impacts during youth. ⚽🐘 Early intervention can help prevent long-term damage. That's why we are dedicated to spreading awareness and safe practices via our HeadSAFE Education programme.
