Podcasts about early college

Our panel of college football experts Mike McClure, Emory Hunt, and Tom Casale break down their picks for the College Football Playoffs, who has the hardest path, which teams can upset, and MORE! 

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. Cheri Maea, Dean of Early College and High School Partnerships, and Guy Curtis, Director of Marketing at Laurel Ridge Community College, to discuss the transformative power of early college and dual enrollment programs. As the spring semester approaches, the conversation shines a spotlight on how Laurel Ridge is making higher education more accessible, affordable, and achievable for students across the region. Early College: A Head Start for High Schoolers Dr. Maea brings a wealth of experience to her role, having spent over two decades in higher education. She passionately advocates for engaging students early, emphasizing that post-secondary education is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Through partnerships with local high schools, Laurel Ridge places career coaches in every school, ensuring that students—regardless of background—can explore pathways to enrollment, enlistment, or immediate employment. These coaches demystify the process, helping students and parents navigate options that may have seemed out of reach. Breaking Down Barriers One of the most significant developments discussed is the offering of the first 30 credit hours of a student's transfer degree at no cost. This initiative allows students to earn college credits while still in high school, removing financial barriers that often deter families. Dr. Maea and Guy Curtis both stress that the hardest part of college should not be the application process, and Laurel Ridge is committed to streamlining admissions and support. Seamless Transitions and Lasting Benefits The benefits of dual enrollment extend far beyond cost savings. Students gain confidence, explore potential career paths, and build a strong academic foundation before stepping onto a four-year campus. The college's guaranteed transfer agreements with major universities in Virginia further smooth the transition, while specialized programs like the Future Educators Academy and Trades Academy prepare students for in-demand careers. Homeschoolers, too, find a welcoming environment and tailored support through initiatives like the (in development) Home Scholars Academy. Supporting Students and Families Throughout the conversation, the guests highlight the importance of parental involvement and education. Many parents are unaware of the opportunities now available, and the college works diligently to correct misconceptions and provide resources. Dr. Maea encourages families to reach out directly for guidance, underscoring the college's commitment to personalized support. A Vision for the Future As the conversation concludes, it's clear that Laurel Ridge Community College is more than an educational institution—it's a launchpad for lifelong success. By removing barriers, fostering partnerships, and empowering students to take charge of their futures, Laurel Ridge is redefining what's possible for the next generation. For more information about early college programs, dual enrollment, and upcoming orientations, visit Laurel Ridge's website: https://laurelridge.edu/early-college/ or connect with your local high school career coach. The journey to higher education—and a brighter future—starts here.

Nathan Fellman was a public middle school teacher and administrator in New Hampshire for about 20 years before leaving his job to launch The Harkness House, a middle school microschool in Nashua, New Hampshire, which opened in fall 2022. Harkness House is a state-recognized private school that also has part-time enrollment options for homeschoolers, and some students attend at a reduced tuition thanks to the state's school choice programs. More families were asking for high school options, so Nate and his team decided to explore dual enrollment options, partnering with a local community college to expand offerings for high schoolers.

In this episode, Lisa, Jeff, and Jennie discuss:The different types of early college applications and what they each mean.Navigation strategies and deadlines for early applications.Which students will benefit from early applications, and which might not.What the data really says about early application acceptance rates.Key Takeaways:Because Early Decision (ED1 and ED2) is a binding contract that the student, parent, and high school counselor sign stating the student will enroll if admitted, only one early decision application can be submitted.Most colleges do not give an admission advantage for early action.Single Choice Early Action and Restricted Early Action are two names for the same thing. Read the fine print carefully as the rules vary greatly by school.Just because ED is available does not mean it is the right decision for everyone. If your teen isn't in love with a school or is relying on financial aid, it is likely not the right choice. “The data is not the reason why you should make your decision about where to apply ED. There are a number of reasons that I think are more important. Particularly, is this a school that you love more than any other school on your list?” – Jeff LevyAbout Jeff: Jeff, an educational consultant since 2007 in Los Angeles, works with students worldwide. With over 20 years in the film and TV industry, he brings unique insights into creative and professional success. He's visited 300+ colleges, ensuring thorough knowledge of programs and campuses before making recommendations.About Jennie: Jennie, a Certified Educational Planner, holds degrees from Northfield Mount Hermon School, Skidmore College, and Framingham State, with additional certification from UC Irvine. Active in her professional associations, she's visited over 500 schools to understand their cultures.

Families are rejoicing after many innocent people taken hostage by Hamas were released as a result of Israel's four-day ceasefire that was declared last Friday. President Biden has said his goal is to keep this pause going to allow for more hostages to be released and humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. However, many are afraid Hamas can't be trusted to keep the peace. On the Rundown, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY) explains how she believes Hamas may "manipulate and abuse" the opportunity Israel has given them with this ceasefire and why this likely will not lead to a sooner end to the war. She also discusses the recent car explosion at the U.S.-Canada border and how it echoes the need for better security at our northern border, the fight over government funding in Washington, and how the migrant crisis continues impacting her state. As a result of the pandemic, students across the United States have been suffering from learning loss, and national test scores have been down dramatically. In the 2022-2023 school year, the Nation's Report Card showed the average test score for thirteen-year-olds dropped nine points in math and four in reading, compared to 2019. However, there are exceptions to America's education problem. The Early College at Guilford in Greensboro, North Carolina, appears to overcome the challenges of the pandemic and was recently named the best high school in America by U.S. News and World Report. The school's principal, Pete Kashubara, joins the Rundown to discuss what contributed to the school's success. Plus, commentary by FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett.
