High school course selection always feels tricky balancing the needs and wants of the student, figuring out the proper level of rigor, and understanding what colleges expect. Whether your student is picking their classes this month or the next, it's important to have those conversations now. Whether your student's GPA, their future college admissions, or fulfilling prerequisites for future courses, the high school curriculum they choose can have a big impact. I invited my colleague Julie Spak, an independent college counselor, to discuss the choices your teen will soon be making and how you can best support them in choosing and pursuing their future goals.EPISODE NOTESThe classes your student takes in high school can have a major impact on both their high school and college careers. And there's more to strategic course selection than just loading up on AP classes. It's important to consider which classes will be relevant to your teen's interests and future college major. Plus, taking a rigorous course load is only impressive on a college application if the student can handle the workload and thrive. That's why it's vital to really consider which classes will be best for a student's long-term goals.In this episode, I speak with my friend and colleague, Julie Spak, about the best ways for your family to approach selecting courses for your teen. To start, it's always a good idea to learn as much as possible about the curriculum offered each school year - expect changes from year to year. This might mean attending informational meetings, academic fairs, or simply reading the course catalog online.We advise once you start selecting courses, it's important that you think about future school years as well. This means that even freshman students should consider what they want to study in their senior year. After all, they don't want to be prevented from signing up for a vital class later because they didn't take the prerequisites.And if your teen will be a junior next year, it's important to remember their senior year is not for slacking! Colleges will look at senior year transcripts, so you don't want to skip that fourth year of math, load up on fluff, or fail to take your coursework seriously.Ultimately, every class a student takes in high school will be important to their future. That's why taking the course selection process seriously is so essential. Fortunately, if you need a little guidance, this episode is full of insights, tips, and tricks.Links mentioned in this episodeLaunch College & Career Clarity CourseLaunch College and Career Clarity Facebook CommunityFind Julie on LinkedInJulie at LEAPTimeline[0:42] Intro[2:22] When do high schools start scheduling courses?[3:30] Should families attend the school's informational meetings about course selection?[5:33] Why you should pay attention to the curriculum guides[7:50] Plan for future semesters by taking prerequisites[9:35] Review college websites for their high school course selection recommendations[11:20] The common data set[12:29] Why senior year classes are just as important[14:50] Check the AP and dual enrollment credit policy for each college you are interested in[17:48] The importance of senior year math classes[21:23] Choosing when you should take an AP class[23:39] The benefits of taking foreign language classes[26:17] What defines a fluff class, and why should you avoid them?[28:14] Julie's contact information[28:46] Wrap-up
All things being equal, high school GPA carries the most weight in college admissions decisions. But when it comes to the classes those grades come from, all things most certainly are not equal. Amy and Mike invited educational consultant Aly Beaumont to explore the finer points about course selection for highly selective college admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What classes should a student really take in high school? Do students really need to take foreign language for college, and if so for how long? How important is it to take Honors, AP, or IB classes? Where does dual-enrollment fit in the selective admissions equation? What is more important: GPA or course rigor?

Course selection heavily influences both a student’s high school experience and college prospects, yet definitive answers on how to make these choices are often lacking. Amy and Mike invited educational consultant Phil Black to analyze high school course selection and academic rigor. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What factors are important when thinking about class selection? Where does “class selection” rank in importance for college admissions? How do students (and their parents) decide how many AP or Honors classes to take? Why should class selection be based more on track record and motivation than goals? Is it better to maximize GPA or take on advanced classes? MEET OUR GUEST Phil Black is the creator of PrepWell Academy, an unconventional approach to preparing high school students (and their parents) for the rigors of the college admissions process. His unique program is delivered online and focuses on the early preparation of students (freshman and sophomore year) interested in attending highly-selective colleges (e.g. Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, etc.), military service academies (e.g. Naval Academy, West Point, etc.), and those seeking athletic or ROTC scholarships. Over the years, Phil has built a record of unique accomplishments, including Division I college athlete, Navy SEAL Officer, Goldman Sachs Investment Banker, bootstrap entrepreneur, 2X Shark Tank contestant, firefighter, husband and father of four sons. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Find Phil at prepwellacademy.com. LINKS Is your Child Well-Rounded or Angular?

CCISD Director of Guidance and Counseling Natalie Uranga and Director of Career and Technical Education Dana Morgan talk through the course registration process and the different opportunities for intermediate and high school to make sure students get started on the right foot and continue success through their educational careers.
Whether you are a sophomore thinking about college, a junior/senior stepping into the application/admissions arena or a recent graduate who is headed to college for further academic enrichment and excitement… selecting courses and classes seems to be almost an afterthought for many students. This seems backwards, doesn’t it? It's back to school and you're wondering what classes you should pick? Should you try taking that harder class? Should you stick to classes related to your major or classes that will deem you "more competitive" based on the university's preferences. Join Mark and Anna as they discuss how to pick classes in high school and college. From understanding whether or not different classes are weighed differently like AP Calc and AP Stats to is there such a thing as taking too many challenging courses and how to pick classes that demonstrate growth and maturity, Mark and Anna have got you covered in this new episode on course selection.
Mitchell Stevens, associate professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, shares his expertise on college path planning and how the use of a web-based tool called Carta is helping students plan their college course trajectory.
