Fun & learning with @GWPublisher at @actecareertech vision conference!

Senior year. Halfway done. My baby is graduating in 5 months! #classof2022 #seniorpictures #seniormuse #trackandfield #senior2022 #calhounsandcrabs #moonlightelegantphotography

[Federal Student Aid @FAFSA]

Not every family looks the same. If you need help figuring out who counts as your “parent” when you complete your FAFSA® form next month, take a look. 👇 https://t.co/WqEjgLjFoW

[Brandi Williams @BWilliamsCHS]

Given the unusual format of this year’s AP exams, I wonder if the @CollegeBoard would ever release passing rates by prompt for each test? Discrepancies??? Hard to watch students defeated over 1 question that was supposed to summarize a year’s worth of learning. #apexams

[Brandi Williams @BWilliamsCHS]

Given the current circumstances, I can't disagree. Many #seniors2021 have not been able to complete an #SAT or #ACT yet. However, this looks to be a permanent change by the University of California system... wonder if other institutions will follow? #TXOC_Ambassador

[Texas OnCourse @TexasOnCourse]

The University of California system has said buh-bye to #SAT and #ACT requirements. Thoughts? https://t.co/1V5GksFdDG #TestPrep #Admissions

[Brandi Williams @BWilliamsCHS]

When considering expanding the school year I wonder if they have considered the effect on fall sports that usually start practicing August 1st and seniors who have #college orientation in early summer??? #TXOC_Ambassador #txhsfb

[Texas OnCourse @TexasOnCourse]

Smaller classroom sizes, cohorts of students, and more. What do you think about this plan? https://t.co/T3eAawDkqy by @wfaa #PublicSchools #Coronavirus #TxEd

Interesting commentary on #school relief money related to #COVIDー19 and how that money might be spent. Where would that #money best be spent in your district? #TXOC_Ambassador

[Texas OnCourse @TexasOnCourse]

Texas expects to receive $1.29 billion from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, the vast majority earmarked for direct delivery to school districts based on their student poverty rates. https://t.co/MekdA3ilgL by @AliyyaSwaby #TxEd #TexasStudents

Did you know that you can appeal a #college #FinancialAid decision? @swiftstudents has made the process as streamlined as possible to help parents and #seniors2020. #TXOC_Ambassador

[Texas OnCourse @TexasOnCourse]

Financial aid appeals are on students' minds. Have you heard of the new, free app that generates an appeal letter like magic? https://t.co/Ah8c0vh9A5 #FAFSA #FinAid #PayingForCollege

While #remotelearning for this school year may be coming to an end, the only thing certain about the next school year is uncertainty, right now. Read this article from @EdSurge & watch the included video for some great perspectives on what works and what doesn't. #TXOC_Ambassador

[Texas OnCourse @TexasOnCourse]

“It’s really hard to have a routine with changing expectations week by week,” said Angela Estrella, an instructional coach. “What seemed reasonable two weeks ago now does not seem so reasonable today.” https://t.co/EQ3oh5iRdg #RemoteLearning #OnlineSchool
