The A-F grading system for Texas public schools is complex, but let's try to simplify it. For elementary and middle schools, the #STAAR test is the only factor that affects the school's grade. A high school grade takes the STAAR test, college, career, and military readiness, and graduation rate as factors. What metrics do you consider when evaluating a school's performance? #TexasSchools #TXEd #TXLege

A comprehensive article 1/2 on the student veterans' lived experience at Chapman University. Specifically, how military-connected students formed a collective action toward just change by voicing their concerns to key stakeholders and creating an orientation. These articles highlight the need for a larger veteran resource center (current size: 231 square feet) to respect the privacy of military-connected students' PPI and create a comfortable environment where military-connected students can form a community with those who understand them so they can quickly acclimate to their new environment. Furthermore, more support staff who understand and meet veterans' benefit concerns and mental health issues. These needs build off of the California Community College VRC requirements to continue the care and support from the community college level to a 4-year university.

The United States Department of Defense's efforts through the State Liaisons program highlight a crucial initiative for military families. Yet, the stark absence of progress in Virginia, particularly in suicide prevention, signals a critical oversight. We must bridge this gap by integrating the lived experiences of our military community into policy-making. Bold action is necessary to create a support system as resilient as our military families themselves. It's time for Virginia to prioritize these voices and enact meaningful change. #MilitaryFamilies #SuicidePrevention #CallToAction

Non-Traditional: A US Army Veteran's Journey to Becoming a Community College Professor Like every week on Let's Talk Ed, we delve into the much-needed transformation of colleges to better support non-traditional students. We, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde, along with special guest @Eric Painter, a US Army veteran turned community college professor, explore innovative strategies for enhancing the college experience, retention and success. In Segment 1: "Non-Traditional: A US Army Veteran's Journey to Becoming a Community College Professor”, we talk about the quintessential importance of class scheduling in allowing non-traditional student to attend and succeed in college. A schedule could be the reason why potential students don’t go to college, or drop out of college, or simply don’t succeed. A schedule is not just what is convenient for us as staff and faculty. It is a path to success in itself. Eric Painter shares his perspective as a veteran journeying from military service to academia, highlighting the unique challenges and triumphs faced by non-traditional students pursuing higher education. Segment 2: "Building the Esprit de Corps: Clubs, Activities, Cohorts, Learning Communities” tackles the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and community through clubs, activities, cohorts, and learning communities, creating a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds. Neglecting these essential success builders is a common college administration decision that hurts students, and ultimately the college. And, finally, in Segment 3: "A Hero's Perspective: If US Army Veteran Had the Magic Wand to Change College”, we arm Eric Painter with omnipotent powers and seek his perspective on transforming community colleges to better meet the needs of non-traditional students, offering valuable recommendations for positive change. Help us to empower learners by creating inclusive and student-centered community college environments! Join the Education Revolution!!!!!! Like, Share, and Subscribe!!!!

🎓 Navigating the transition from military service to civilian life can be challenging, especially when aligning benefits from Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes, Veterans Affairs Canada / Anciens Combattants Canada, or third-party providers. This crucial phase often presents barriers to seeking employment or pursuing further education. 🚀 To address this, we are thrilled to announce this initiative! releasepointeducation.ca has collaborated with Nova Scotia Community College - NSCC (NSCC) to introduce a tuition deferral process for #Veterans. 🔑 The #VAC Education and Training Benefit (ETB) is crucial during transition, providing financial assistance and facilitating access to advanced education. This novel deferral initiative at NSCC represents a significant advancement in fostering our Veterans' educational goals. Military-connected learners can now access education while applying for ETB. 💡 This is another step to ensuring seamless access to education and employment opportunities.
