News recently hit that the , 2021 STAAR Reading and Math test scores were significantly lower than those of previous years.

Tis that bittersweet time of year when I bid farewell to my senior class. This year is particularly meaningful because of what we endured together over the last 18 months. The circumstances prompted us to deeply explore what matters and what is needed to provide comfort and happiness. I take solace in knowing that each of my students is headed off to a place that is just right for them.

I teamed up with Sarah Coen , Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Enrollment Management at Transylvania University , to present the future of parent and family engagement at the 2021 Ruffalo Noel Levitz National Conference.

As you likely know, college admissions were especially competitive this year, particularly at the most selective schools. The most common question that I’m currently asked is about how to beat these odds, when it’s statistically harder than ever to get into the Ivies.

I’ll do my best to make this an evergreen post: One I can just point to when we read yet another opinion article by the same types of people insisting that removing the SATs is going to harm first-generation and/or low-income and/or students of color and/or anyone who attends an under-resourced high school.

Fellow Grey’s Anatomy fans may remember the episode where the hospital conducted an “M&M” (morbidity & mortality conference) to discuss what happened in a patient’s case. With this unique admissions season finally behind us, I thought it may be helpful to do our own version of an M&M. For optimal graph viewing, I wrote the blog post on Medium.

“Is this…Group 180?” I stammered, staring straight at the sign sticking out of her backpack. Nice one. “Yes! You must be Henry. Glad you found us.” My peer adviser, Ruthie, exclaimed with a sparkle in her eye. “Welcome to March Through the Arch! We’re one of the last groups, but it’ll be worth the.
