University AUs!

It's the very first crowdsourced fic rec! We have 23 amazing fics listed here, about the trials and tribulations, the adventures and anarchy, the good decisions and bad decisions and downright terrible decisions that come with post-secondary education. We might have graduated high school, but we still dumb as SHIT.

Please enjoy, share, leave a kudos or a comment -- and get your reccing fingers ready for the next theme!

From Eight Until Late, I Think About You by supernope (35227, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Harry is juggling an English degree at the University of Brighton, a budding YouTube channel, and an intense crush on a fellow YouTuber.

Reccer says: It's so cute watching their feelings and their friendship grow, from flirting in the YouTube comments to texting to finally meeting up in person (oh my god they were (hotel) roommates)

you can hear it in the silence by imogenlee (234857, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

When Harry Styles was accepted into a post-grad degree, he knew he could no longer afford his flat, leaving him with three options: 1) Move back into student halls. 2) Become homeless. 3) Move in with his best (and only) friend, Niall, and three of Niall's other mates. He went with the third option. But it was a close race. Or, two boys couldn't misunderstand each other more, but they want to.

Reccer says: The aaaaangst. The way they can't stop wanting each other despite the misunderstandings.

if it looks like, feels like, tastes like love by tempolarriefics (16600, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post

harry and louis hate each other but pretend to date to be able to live in university ‘family housing’, zayn and liam are their nosy next door neighbors, and niall is the friend who made it all happen

Harry is at university in California. On vacation with his parents in New Jersey, he meets Louis. Their story is only supposed to last through summer

Reccer says: This fic is in my opinion unfairly forgotten these days even though it is a Fandom Classic, just wonderful

Don’t have to go to the pool by Kingsoftheimpossible (40857, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Louis is the captain of the swim team, Harry is in love with him a bit, and there's this ritual before Big Meets. Everything goes fine.

Reccer says: A simple an effective plot, a joy to read

Search and rescue me by Wildhalos (17423, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Louis never really paid attention to Harry until they get stuck in the locker room together.

Your best line ever by Green_feelings (55116, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

University AU, in which Harry has a terrible job and lies about his name to drunk people, Louis is one of the drunk and has to move out of his flat, Liam shaves his hair because he fights with Zayn, Zayn protects Liam from creepy stalkers and Niall always has a solution, because he knows just about every person relevant!

An explosion of antisemitism at US colleges and universities since Hamas’ massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7 is affecting how Jewish high school students choose where to pursue their post-secondary degrees, according to new survey results released by Hillel International, the world’s largest network of Jewish campus organizations.

A striking 64 percent of 427 parents of Jewish high school students surveyed by Benenson Strategy Group said their children have “crossed off” schools to which they would have applied because of concerns about antisemitism, Hillel International said on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, 80 percent of parents said concerns about safety have weighed on their child’s decision more than before Oct. 7, and 87 percent noted the atrocities by Hamas had an impact on their approach to selecting a college or university for their child.

“These findings confirm what we’ve consistently heard from Jewish parents since Oct. 7: They are alarmed by the dramatic rise in antisemitism on campus, and they and their children are changing their approach to the college decision-making process because of it,” Hillel International CEO Adam Lehman said in a press release. “As a result, parents, students, and families are turning to Hillel as the most comprehensive and reliable source of information and support for their child, and we remain committed to our work to ensure that all campuses are safe and inclusive options for all Jewish students.”

A robust Jewish life on campus may ultimately determine where Jewish students choose to enroll, the survey added. Seventy-four percent of parents said the presence of “Jewish clubs and organizations” at a school is “more important” after Oct. 7, and 91 percent said they are more likely to encourage their child to actively participate in Hillel, which operates on 850 campuses.

I want to write something long form about the teacher strikes and the state of education in England right now.

You’ll hear a lot of teachers in the coming days and weeks say they don’t want to strike, or they feel guilt about striking. I’ve thought about it, and I want to strike, and I don’t feel guilty, and I think I owe it to students to strike. Maybe not the ones I teach now, but the ones I might teach in five years time.

I owe it to some of the Y7s, 8s and 9s I taught last year who were deeply passionate about science. In particular, I’m think of the Y7s who loved our space topic, and may never get taught by a qualified physics teacher. I’m also thinking about the sort of country they’ll grow up in, the opportunities they’ll have and the future they deserve.

I can write some arguments within the liberal, capitalist context we live in, for improving education, and specifically why pay and working conditions need to be improved for teachers and why striking is our only option. I know that’s not what a lot of you follow me for, but they may be persuasive if you know teachers or want to talk to people about why they should support the teacher strikes.

1) There is a national shortage of teachers. This is a fact- we know a large number of teachers do not stay in the profession long term- 1/3 of teachers who trained in the last 10 years are no longer teaching. Other research suggests many of these teachers quit in the first 5 years of teaching. This year, we have struggled to recruit across secondary subjects. In subjects like maths, science, MFL, geography and more, the situation is especially dire- but this crisis is even starting to impact primary schools now. First and foremost, students are going without qualified, subject specialist teachers. In other professions, the Tories acknowledge high pay is needed to recruit suitable staff. Why not teaching- which after all requires a specialist degree and often a post graduate qualification too.

2) This doesn’t just hurt individual students, it hurts the whole country, because it leaves us with a lack of people who are capable of becoming doctors, dentists, engineers, entering other health care professions, working in the STEM fields that are meant to drive our economy. Investing in education grows the economy long term, and is better for society as a whole.

3) But it does also hurt the social mobility of individual students. Richer families can pay tutors, or go private to make up for deficiencies in teaching. But those from low income families can’t. Few parents have the time or ability to bridge the gap themselves.

4) Furthermore, if we think about really vulnerable students- who, make no mistake will be used as a weapon against teachers during the strike- they benefit from well funded schools. They benefit from having consistent adults in their lives. They often take a long time to form relationships with staff. A revolving door of supply teachers (which is the reality in many secondary schools) really hurts them.

5) Teachers struggle to negotiate pay for themselves. Many schools will baulk at the idea of a teacher negotiating on their own pay, and take deep offense, as if the idea of negotiating pay in a capitalist society when you have an unusual skill is totally unreasonable. So, teachers can only negotiate pay on a national scale. And because the government won’t sit down and negotiate, the only thing we can do is take industrial action.

6) Ultimately, schools can’t afford to pay teachers well- so any pay rise needs to be fully funded. Again, hence strike action.

We can say that the teacher shortage is about working conditions too- and it is, for sure. But it’s also true that the teacher shortage appears to be most acute where a teacher’s pay won’t stretch as far because accommodation costs and other costs are high.

I want to take a moment at this point to address the idea of “work to rule”- which doesn’t actually exist in English law, btw.

Action short of a strike in teaching would likely take the form of teachers not running clubs and trips, maybe refusing to do marking as well. These are all things that would negatively impact students, but have a totally negligible economic impact, if at all. It would, inevitably, drag on for months, because the government simply would not notice.

A teacher strike, ideally one that shuts a large number of schools, will have a noticeable impact on the economy, because some parents won’t be able to work or travel. Yes, it’s rubbish for parents, but the impact on students will genuinely be lower than weeks or months of action short of a strike. And it’s the only language the government will listen to, unfortunately.

I want to talk also about what the Tories are doing to education. I alluded to this earlier, but I think it bears exploring specifically.

The Tories are destroying education. At this stage, I think it’s gone beyond neglect, into a deliberate policy to damage state education. They can’t say that out loud, of course, but why else, at a time of massive teacher shortages, would they cut teacher training places from 2024? Why else would they implement the ECT program in such a way it’s driving early career teachers out of teaching? Why else would they starve schools of funding to such an extent?

Why would the Tories do this?

I’ve got two possible theories for you.

One, they want a poor, uneducated underclass, with limited job prospects, in order to exploit them. And educating the working classes and providing them with opportunities for social mobility runs against that.

Two, some tories take a more eugenicist outlook, they think education is simply wasted on said “underclass”. That no amount of good education would improve the prospects of certain groups, so why bother?

Perhaps it’s a little of column a, a little of column b. Certainly, there are strong objections to teachers in state schools sharing opinions that might be contradictory to the governments’.

So I strongly believe this strike is to preserve the future of education.

Obviously, if we consider the wider state of the country, there are lot of important reasons to join a wider worker’s movement. And I’m going to come back to that point about working conditions, because part of that is the shortage of funding in other public sector areas, meaning schools are asked to do more and more with less and less.

It’s increasingly clear Rishi Sunak’s Tories are both fascists and disaster capitalists, who are going to take what they can from this country before their party implodes. And you all know what I think of the political alternatives. It’s also true if we wait two years for an election, people will die- not least in A and E waiting rooms, or waiting for an ambulance.

The Tories are happy to let £42 Billion in tax go unpaid (largely by the rich and mega-corporations), and then they turn around and say there’s no money.

I genuinely think this wave of strikes could be the start of something- of meaningful political change that carries this country to the left. Maybe the some of the current union leaders will not push things far enough, but we are the union, so we must push further. And we can use this opportunity to really influence the UK political landscape, and build solidarity for a mass worker’s union.

Hey! I saw in one of your posts, in the tags, that you were an English major. I'm going to college soon, and I was wondering if you had any advice on picking out your major. What do you like about majoring in English, and what exactly do English majors do? Thank you!

First of all, congrats! That's really exciting! I really hope you enjoy your time in college! Second, this is gonna be a bit long, so I apologize in advance o7

I'm honestly not sure how helpful this is, but for the longest time I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I actually enrolled in university as a mature student a good 5-ish years after I graduated high school. I was so tired of school-related stress (and the way that the public school system functioned in general) that I was honestly considering not even going to post-secondary. I bounced between different potential majors, although I couldn't help but feel tired just thinking about them, like I would be going to school out of obligation or societal expectation rather than genuine passion.

When I came back around to the idea years later, I started poking around my local university's website. As I was going through, reading everything over, and clicking through different subjects, I realized that I was actually really feeling excited about school for the first time... pretty much ever. Because I realized that I had the chance to do things at my own pace, with a focus on subjects that I actually liked, rather than what my family expected would get me a traditionally "good job."

I narrowed my major down to a choice between English and creative writing, but I ultimately went with English. As much as I love creative writing, I prefer doing it as a hobby. It's the same with art for me: getting too serious with it made me feel less passionate and creative (to be fair though, I did take two first year creative writing classes as electives and I am genuinely proud of the stuff I wrote for them!)

With English, I could do my favourite thing in the world: overthinking literature and talking ad nauseam about the media I like. I love rambling, and writing essays is pretty much just organized info-dumping. I also wanted to learn more about history and culture, especially the way that they influence and are influenced by the works of literature, film, etc. of the times. In my experience so far, English classes have mostly consisted of reading or watching a bunch of texts, analyzing them & picking them apart, discussing said texts with my peers, and comparing/contextualizing them with each other. It's way more fun for me than it probably sounds to most people haha

Side note: I'm also taking biology as a minor (specifically with a focus on zoology because I love animals). The contrast between using the more creative and writerly side of my brain, and the more logical sciencey and side works well for me.

I'm still not super career focused, though I have certainly thought about it. I'm on disability support right now, so thankfully I'm fortunate enough to not need to juggle work and school. Ideally, I would love it if my degree landed me a stable job that doesn't make me feel miserable or put the same strain on me that retail and food service do. But I'm kinda just going with the flow for now.

Anyways, that's all to say: look over all of your options and narrow it down to the ones that draw your interest and passion the most. Consider what you want out of school, explore the potential career options that each subject could bring if that's your goal, and generally go with what makes you feel the best.

I know most schools have exploratory courses and academic advisors that can help you figure out what you want to do, so I would definitely look into that! Oh, and look into the required classes for each subject too! It personally helped me organize and prepare for everything I would need to do so that I was less blind-sighted by, as an example, my mandatory statistics class for my biology minor (I'm DEFINITELY not a math person)

Good luck, and I'm sorry again for how long this got! I wish you the best :D

#asks #gabeposting #it's like 2am rn so I hope this actually makes sense and isn't just me rambling #thanks for the ask btw!!

Brazil School Simulator - Yandere Simulator Parody

Hello everybody! I came to present a project that I want to do in the future, along with my Creepypasta game and more! I hope you like it, as this was made as a tribute to my country! 🇧🇷❤️

Synopsis:

Maria is an 18-year-old girl who studies at the most famous post-secondary school in Brazil, the greatest Oliveira Post-High School, known for its large number of study options and it's rich

However, one day, Maria met Joaquim, the most handsome student in the entire school, but... Some girls has a crush on Joaquim, and now, Maria will have to do everything to win over Joaquim...

Protagonists:

Maria (Protagonist)

Joaquim (Senpai)

Ana Júlia (Info-Chan?)

Lorena (Sporty Rival)

Jaqueline (Emo Rival)

Rafaela (Funky Rival)

Annie (Extroverted Rival)

Maria Joaquina (Arrogant Rival)

Esther (Kind Rival)

Inspired by:

Sakura School Simulator

Yandere Simulator

School Girls Simulator

Ai To Noroi

Release Date:

Well, I don't know exactly what year it will be released... I'm still underage and I still don't even know how to program properly! So... With that, the game will take time to be released, probably only when I'm an adult (which will take 8 years to happen...)

At least I know some studios that I could work with, like Orube Game Studio, but they make free games for everyone and Brazil School Simulator is not in that category...

However, the easiest option for me is without a doubt Unity! A program made to literally create games! This is really cool!

Plataforms:

Windows, Playstation (I hope) , Android, iOS, Moblie, Steam, Epic Games (I hope too)

Production Cost:

I don't really know... As it is an Indie production it may cost little, but as I'm a minor, I still don't know how much it will cost, so for now, nothing...

Thanks to anyone who has seen this to the end!

I hope this project happens, I am extremely excited for the future that awaits me, as well as my special tribute to Brazil! Thank you very much! Bye bye!

which of your ocs actually go to school? and which of them are like, skipping school constantly/never enrolled?

So this ties into my headcanons for what type of schooling exists! As I've described before in a previous headcanon post, anything after middle school is effectively optional. And so most secondary schools basically encompass both high school and college.

Inkopolis Academy (which despite its name also has a Splatsville campus) has two options for students. There's the "Fresh" track which is basically just high school, and there's the "Deep" track, which takes you through college classes. The Deep track requires entrance exams and picking a topic to major in, and usually takes six years. You can tell them apart by uniform: Deep-track students wear the School Uniform, Fresh-track students wear the School Cardigan.

Fun fact: administration knows how important inksports are for the youth, so they let many students go part-time.

Most of my OCs go to Inkopolis Academy. Emily, Kaimana, Laszlo, Manco, Naomi, and Todaro are Deep-track; Callisto, Luna, Otani, Renzo, Taniwha, and Yma are Fresh-track. Ille and Walo have graduated from here. Kira had to drop out temporarily due to Agent/Captain work. Cleo got kicked out for bad behavior.

In contrast, Splatsville High School runs like a more traditional four-year high school. It's significantly more lax; no uniform requirement and they don't care if you cut class. It has a reputation for being filled with delinquents. Antonio, Ian, Milo, Susan, and Wanda are enrolled and they just skip constantly

And there's more than that. Shinji goes to Inkblot Art Academy, studying painting and music. Rube just got a full scholarship to study weapons engineering at the prestigious University of the Splatlands (Sheldon wrote a very strong letter of rec). Austin, Blake, Ika, Oscar, Ripley, and Viola just stopped after middle school - Austin and Ika basically forgot it was an option, Blake is lazy, Oscar and Ripley thinks it's uncool, and Viola opted to study on her own terms.

Hi, Kirri! I'm from South America and I'm trying to do a research about australian high school. I would like you to clarify some questions I have about school subjects, like: which ones are optional and which are mandatory? also, if you could send me some reliable websites than i can look up. every website i see says something different, can be very confusing so I decided to ask a australian person. Thank you!!!!

Hi, hey, i've been summoned! Okay, i'll admit to you upfront, it's been a hot minute since I was in high school so my knowledge is partly from personal experience but also what is published online. The school structures and curriculum differs from state to state, so it's no wonder you had trouble finding clear answers. I'll try to explain simply:

Australian high schools run from years 7 to 12. (We actually have 13 school years in total including Kindergarten, or preparatory, which is not numbered.) Students can finish in year 10 if they choose not to complete their senior years and test for university entry. If a student finishes in year 10, they get a Record of School Achievement; if they finish senior studies, they get a certificate of education depending on which state they're in:

NSW - Higher School Certificate (HSC)

VIC - Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)/Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)

QLD - Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA)

SA - South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)

WA - West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)

TAS - Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE)

ACT - Australian Capital Territory Senior Secondary Certificate (ACT SSC)

NT - Northern Territory Certificate of Education (NTCE)

The national curriculum has eight compulsory learning areas, which can be categorized into subjects:

Then there are a wide range of electives, which vary greatly depending on region, type of school (state-funded vs private/faith-based) etc. Students in years 9 and 10 typically choose three electives. Here is an example of electives available to a school in NSW.

In addition, many schools offer the opportunity to study a vocational (often trade-based) course in preparation for studies after high school, called TVET (TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training). Many of these course results in credits toward school outcomes. I guess you could say that TAFE to Australia is like community college to the US.

The school year is broken up into four 'terms', with dates varying between states (see links at end for a list). A typical school day goes from 8:45am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday, with breaks for recess and lunch between period. A 'period' = one class, which typically runs for 40 minutes.

Upon completing senior studies and final exams, students are given an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), which they can use to select and be admitted to university. In fact, senior exams have just begun so it's a good time to keep an eye on social media and see how current students are talking about the experience! 'ATAR Day' (when rankings are released) is on December 14, another time to take a look.

Australia also has specialist high schools, such as creative and performing arts schools, intensive English centres (for students with English as a second language), sports schools, and technology schools. All of these must teach the compulsory subjects, but offer the chance to specialize in these areas.

Websites where you can learn more about the Australian curriculum:

Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 Australian Schools Directory

Study Australia

ACARA (for statistics)

TVET

ATAR

Hopefully that will help you! I hope you don't mind that I posted this answer but I thought it might be useful to others as well. If you have any other questions, go ahead and ask and i'll do my best!

TPWCH Fun Facts Day 38

Ok, here goes! We’re finally tackling the Octarian military and school system!

All Octolings are required to start school at 4 years old on the first day of their birth month. That means that everyone in an Octoling’s graduating class was born in the same month. Octolings are assigned their numbered name (Seyu’s was Akira) on their first day. Boys and girls attend schools together. The education system is broken into four schools over three levels:

1. ikkomashi - meaning “school one.” A year-round boarding school attended by all genders. Students attend for twelve years, learning Standard Octarian, complex math, physics, science, battle strategy, history, health, etc etc.

2. kakalomashi - meaning “work school.” At sixteen, boys and girls are separated. Boys go to kakalomashi, where they learn pretty much everything they’re expected to do in the military. Typical students will be taught to become builders, but high-achieving students can test into the medical track or the computer science track with a rigorous diagnostic testing process. Upon turning eighteen, they go into the military in the position they were trained for in kakalomashi.

3. zikaimashi - meaning “battle school.” At sixteen, Octoling girls go back home to their parents. This is an incredibly exciting and honorable time for Octoling families. Parents are expected to freely dote on their daughters, any necessary discipline having already been taken care of by their schooling. Parents are incentivized to pamper their daughter to win her favor in the hopes that she will share with them the honor that she earns on the battlefield.

But it’s not called “battle school” for nothing! The original purpose is for the mother to prepare her daughter for her role in the military. While entrees quality of this homeschooling is dwindling somewhat, it is still very much the focus of an Octoling girl’s last two years before adulthood. It is the mother’s job to encourage her and prepare her for her role in the military. Because military titles are passed down matrilineally, the daughter will hold the same position the mother once had, and the mother will train her specifically for that position. About 90% of these are ex-soldiers showing their daughters the ways of combat, but others prepare their daughter for a role as an engineer (as in Marina’s case), a military leader, or another high position. As aforementioned, this training is becoming lighthearted, but it is still regarded as very honorable and important.

4. angomen - meaning “honorable protection” After completing their two years of secondary education, young adult Octolings have mandatory conscription from 18-24. After that, they are relieved from military service for the rest of their lives. Octolings may choose to stay in the military in the hopes of being promoted to higher positions. Or if they’re just really digging the military, I guess?

5. tsukumashi - meaning “continue school.” After finishing their conscription, about one in four Octolings will go back to school at a totally-optional post-secondary education school called a “tsukumashi.” Octolings typically spend six years at tsukumashi, which can help them get a more competitive job, such as the highest positions in the military, administrative positions in the government, teachers, researchers, scientists, and the like. Attendance at tsukumashi is not expected for the vast majority of jobs. However, tuition is free, so the only deterrents are time and effort. All genders are welcome to attend, but women make up a majority of tsukumashi students (about 70%).

And that’s the Octarian school system! As you can see, it’s a LOT more organized than the Inkling school system. Perhaps too organized. But that’s a discussion for another day!

Reports about the crisis facing public school teachers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic are widespread, though a parallel crisis among the ranks of school leadership has also been quietly unfolding. While staffing has always been an uphill battle in high-need settings, challenges have been exacerbated in recent years. According to a report from the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the principal workforce is potentially facing a retention crisis, with large spikes in reported extra work and intentions to leave the workforce raising red flags about the sustainability of the status quo. And with the teacher labor market simultaneously under historic stress, unstable leadership could compound the problem by making retention worse.

Beyond turnover, the principal workforce’s lack of racial diversity has become a prominent issue. Similar to patterns among teachers, diversity gaps between students and principals have been growing. In 2000, 39% of students identified as non-white while 18% of principals identified as non-white; by 2017, these numbers among students surged to 52%, but only grew to 22% among principals, widening the gap by nine percentage points. Though current circumstances are challenging, a period of high turnover among school leaders also presents a unique window of opportunity to move the needle on principal diversity.

In recent years, “Grow Your Own” (GYO) teacher programs have become a popular option for improving retention and diversity in the teacher workforce, with a growing body of research and policies encouraging the adoption of these programs by districts. Yet, this type of preparation pipeline as a means of bolstering school administrator ranks remains underexplored and underutilized. In this post, we look at principal diversity gaps on a geographic level, consider GYO pipeline programs, and speculate about how GYO programs and policies could support the development of a more stable, diverse principal workforce.

The geography of principal diversity

Developing principal pipelines that create a systemic pathway for more diverse leadership could benefit schools and districts. For students of color, research suggests having a same-race administrator results in higher test scores, improved attendance, and a higher likelihood of gifted program placement. Principals of color also contribute to a more diverse teacher workforce via more inclusive teacher hiring practices, lower teacher turnover for same-race teachers, and higher job satisfaction for teachers with a same-race principal. Plus, teachers of color are more likely to be encouraged into administrative positions with a same-race supervisor, creating a virtuous loop. This suggests that principal pipelines that prioritize principal diversity could simultaneously address teacher diversity and help narrow various race-based achievement gaps for students.

Recognizing the localized nature of educator diversity, we explored how principal and student representation differs by state using data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Figure 1 illustrates estimates of state-level principal-to-student diversity gaps as measured by the percentage point difference between non-white student representation and non-white principal representation (larger values represent greater differences in disparity).

Most states have large gaps, hovering within the 20-30 percentage-point range. A few states’ gaps are exceptionally large, including Nevada at 48 percentage points (68% nonwhite students – 20% nonwhite principals), California at 43 percentage points (77% – 34%), and Washington at 40 percentage points (46% – 6%). These gaps roughly mirror prior Brookings research examining teacher-student diversity gaps, and confirms a clear representation issue within the principal workforce in nearly all states.

Since the principal pipeline relies heavily on the teacher workforce, it’s also useful to compare racial representation between principals and teachers. Figure 2 illustrates principal-to-teacher diversity gaps in the U.S. by state as measured by the percentage-point difference between the share of non-white teachers and non-white principals. A positive (negative) diversity gap, represented in shades of orange (blue), means that principals are less (more) racially representative than teachers.

Overall, the teacher and principal workforces of each state are relatively similar in racial composition, with 34 states falling within just five percentage points of parity between teachers and principals. But the real insight here is that 14 states have a substantially more diverse principal workforce than teacher workforce, where principals are five or more percentage points more racially diverse than teachers. Though this analysis cannot identify what these states might be doing differently to create this result, it shows more representative school leadership ranks are possible and points to places we can start looking for ideas.

Grow Your Own Principal Pipeline Programs

GYO programs are increasingly popular strategies to build out more diverse teacher pipelines. However, GYOs focused on developing school leadership are less common. Outlining teacher GYO programs can provide helpful context for understanding principal GYO programs.

Teacher GYO programs are partnerships between a school system (often districts) and teacher preparation programs (typically colleges or universities) that create a coordinated pathway to recruit, prepare, and then place teachers in schools within their communities. Some programs have specific preparation targets, such as special education teacher capacity for rural schools and indigenous language preservation. As of 2020, 47 states had some type of teacher GYO program and over half of states had a statewide policy to enable GYO pathways. The empirical literature evaluating these programs is quite slim, though the studies that do exist indicate positive outcomes, from high teacher retention rates for GYO teacher graduates to increasing the supply of teachers of color.

Principal GYO programs are similar in structure to teacher GYO programs. Principal GYO programs are partnerships between school systems and universities that create a pathway for individuals to enter school leadership. The motivation behind principal GYO programs is that, like teacher GYO programs, these pipelines will result in a supply of homegrown school leaders with increased diversity and targeted preparation.

GYO principal programs, however, are far less prevalent than their teacher-focused counterparts. Multiple localities, including Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Kansas City, Missouri, partnered with TNTP (formerly The New Teacher Project) as a part of their Pathway to Leadership in Urban Schools (PLUS) program. The findings of an evaluation of one district that implemented this PLUS program suggested that leaders who participated in the program may have contributed to improvements in student learning and to more selective teacher retention, with lower retention among lower-performing teachers.

Another principal pipeline approach by Dallas Independent School District (ISD) explicitly prioritizes diversity. Dallas ISD launched its Leader Excellence, Advancement and Development (LEAD) Department which has since created multiple programs as a part of its focus to attract diverse, high-quality principal candidates. While the Dallas ISD programs haven’t been evaluated directly, they align with what research suggests an effective principal preparation pipeline program would entail, including mentoring and working with external university programs to strengthen preparation in a way that meets the unique needs of their districts. Additionally, there are many other districts that have made it a goal to increase the proportion of administrators of color, even if they don’t yet have a formalized GYO program.

Developing GYO principal pipelines should help promote improved stability among principals. Prior research points to a link between principal effectiveness and lower principal turnover. Evidence suggests that school leaders who partake in the mentoring and coaching with current principals that GYO leader pipelines often provide report feeling more prepared for the responsibilities of school leadership. Further, recognizing the potential impact school leaders can have on outcomes from student attendance to teacher retention, efforts to develop these pipelines could have a multiplying effect on many important outcomes.

Conclusion

Though the current moment requires quick action to bolster school leadership ranks, we cannot overlook long-term strategies. Building out principal pipelines with an eye toward principal diversity in districts around the nation will be a key strategy in creating a sustainable pool of school leaders and strengthening school leadership.

Implementation of GYO principal pipeline programs could be pursued by local, state, and federal policymakers. Locally, school districts and superintendents could deepen partnerships with universities and organizations to develop GYO principal pipeline programs within their respective school districts, which could range in design to meet district-specific needs. At the state level, policymakers could support statewide GYO principal policies and funding programs, as they have done for teacher GYO programs and diversity efforts. At the federal level, policymakers could draft legislation for GYO principal pipeline competitive grant funding to support districts in their efforts to build partnerships and pipelines. Similar federal legislation addressing teachers includes House Bill 5839, Senate Bill 2367, and Senate Bill 2887. This type of federal funding could support evaluation so that the body of research and evidence regarding principal GYO programs and their impact on principal effectiveness and diversity can grow.

Choosing Between the Top CBSE Affiliated Schools in India: A Compass for Parents

Hey there, parent superstars! Are you navigating the ever-evolving world of education in India, specifically looking for the Top CBSE Schools for your child? You're not alone. With a plethora of CBSE Affiliated Schools in India, choosing the right one can feel like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics. But worry not, because this blog post is here to be your compass!

Why CBSE?

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national-level board that governs school curriculums and conducts standardized exams in India. Top CBSE Schools in India are known for their rigorous academics, well-rounded curriculum, and focus on preparing students for competitive entrance exams like JEE (Main) and NEET.

So, how do you pick the perfect match from all these Top Schools in India?

Here's a breakdown of key factors to consider:

Academic Excellence: This is a no-brainer. Look for schools with a proven track record in academics, consistently producing toppers and high scorers in board exams. Don't just rely on numbers, though. Dig deeper and see if the school fosters a love for learning, not just rote memorization.

Faculty Force: Top CBSE Schools in India boast well-qualified and passionate teachers. Look for schools that invest in their faculty's professional development, ensuring they stay updated on the latest teaching methodologies. Remember, inspiring teachers can ignite a child's curiosity and make learning a joyride!

Holistic Development: It's not all about textbooks! A well-rounded education goes beyond academics. Look for schools that offer co-curricular activities like sports, debate, music, and theatre. These activities help students develop critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills – essential for future success.

Infrastructure Matters: Top Schools in India provide a nurturing environment that fosters learning. Look for schools with well-equipped classrooms, libraries, science labs, and playgrounds. Don't forget about the intangibles – a clean, safe, and positive school environment makes a world of difference.

Location, Location, Location: This might not be the top priority, but it's definitely a factor to consider. Think about your child's age, the commute time, and your family's lifestyle. Would a bustling city school or a serene suburban campus suit them better?

Examples of Top CBSE Schools in India:

While specific rankings can be subjective, some schools consistently make it to the top lists. Here are a few examples (remember, research is key to finding the perfect fit for your child):

Delhi Public School (DPS) - Renowned for its strong academic tradition and a vast alumni network.

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) - Known for its affordability and focus on holistic education for children of transferable government employees.

National Public School (NPS) - Offers a global perspective with a strong international curriculum alongside CBSE.

Beyond the Rankings

Remember, the best school isn't just about the name or the ranking. It's about finding the right fit for your child's individual needs, learning style, and personality. Here are some additional tips:

Visit the School: Don't underestimate the power of a good old-fashioned school visit. Talk to teachers, observe classrooms, and get a feel for the school culture.

Talk to Parents and Students: Connect with parents who have children enrolled in the school you're considering. Ask them about their experiences.

Consider Your Budget: Top CBSE Schools in India can range from government-funded schools with minimal fees to private schools with hefty price tags. Be realistic about your budget and explore options that fit your financial situation.

FAQs:

1. Are CBSE Schools better than State Board Schools?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Both CBSE and State Boards have their merits and demerits. CBSE offers a standardized curriculum across India, while State Boards might tailor their curriculum to the specific needs of the region.

2. How can I find out which CBSE Schools are near me?

You can use the School Affiliation and Monitoring System (SARAS) on the CBSE website (https://saras.cbse.gov.in/saras/Home/Category_Wise) to search for CBSE Affiliated Schools in India based on your location.

The Final Takeaway

Choosing the right school is a crucial decision. By keeping these factors in mind and utilizing the resources available, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the world of Top Schools in India and find the perfect match for your child. Remember, a happy and thriving child is the ultimate goal!

Career planning guidelines for secondary school students

Career planning is the last thing on the minds of parents and students who are still in school. As students pass out of school, parents are in a hurry to push them to take admission to streams that are not relevant or interesting. To avoid the issues of drop-outs of courses, career exploration for high school students is important.

Career exploration for high school students is crucial for students

Siddhartha Public School offers career planning tips for school students to help them transition towards the right courses. Knowing their aptitude and interests allows children to plan for post-secondary education. As a CBSE school near Boduppal, we aim to make the children ready for careers of their choice.

The following post gives an insight into career planning tips for school students. Currently, there is a skill gap and unprecedented unemployment issues. The job industry requires the right people to work.

Avoid peer pressure & ignorance

Once the board exams are over, there is a huge pressure on children to choose the college. Currently, parents know of only 6-7 streams and push children towards it. Today, there are more than 250 career options available across India. Parents should explore them and let children expand their horizons. These careers are in demand and way beyond the usual options like Law, Management, Accounts, Science, Medicine, Computers & IT, and Engineering.

A thorough career assessment for secondary students will reveal various interests they have. They can take up studies and skill themselves to become suitable for professions of their choice. Career counsellors should be hired to make the assessments for making the right choices.

Effective career plans begin with clarity and the interests of all children. It is the basic foundation to move in the right direction after high school. Once the vision and goal are clear, the challenges and pressure from others are also minimised. Each child is aware of their strengths/weaknesses. Giving value to the strengths opens up job opportunities in the future.

Expecting the child to take up a stream where he/she cannot excel brings up fear of failure and rejection. Pressure from parents, friends, and relatives adds to the misery. Planning for post-secondary education depends also on parents and their awareness of new career options. Instead of pushing the children into only law, medicine, and engineering colleges, they can explore other options.

Children feel confident when they get 100% support from their parents. It encourages them to excel and move toward their dreams.

School-going children can undergo assessment sessions to understand where their interests lie. Tenth-standard students can build their goals based on the subjects of their choice. As they engage in critical thinking, it will also improve the overall profile. Both parents and children can match the information of new streams to pursue after higher secondary school.

Siddhartha Public School offers career planning guidelines for parents and students. If the parents are not aware of their child’s choices, they can ask the teachers for assistance. Instead of putting pressure on the child to follow a beaten path, let them move to greener pastures.
