The boundaries between segments hold tremendous potential, especially for both academic and CTE dual enrollment. Allowing this to be managed and tracked at the level of students and families, and schools and colleges is critical. However, without adequate software or personal technology these type of strategic and accessible dual enrollment options and pathways are only available to a tiny fraction of the school population and have to managed with adequate human resourcing, which is difficult in budget constrained times.

We believe that building stronger, smoother, accelerated pathways between K-12 education, postsecondary education, and careers is not only necessary to grow our economy, but also to address inequality in our communities. Our work leading the #AccelerateED community is central to this mission. We wanted to know, what would it take for every high school student to have the opportunity to earn college credits without the financial burden? To complete an associate degree one year after high school? To gain valuable experience and career preparation in a field of interest during high school? And while we are excited to tell you all about this work, instead we think it’s better to hear directly from the students who are most impacted by it. Up first in our new student voice video series, meet Qamar Ayyoubi, a rising senior at Kettering Fairmont High School in Ohio and nursing pathway student, is earning college credits in high school toward a degree and high-demand career in healthcare: https://lnkd.in/g8wRcZZS

Yesterday was my first opportunity to attend the Illinois Education and Career Success Network annual conference. The theme - Awareness to Action - resonated throughout the day and left me feeling even more energized to create more equitable postsecondary pathways for young people. A few thoughts that are sticking with me: 1. “We’re asking students the wrong questions”. In a session focused on leveraging state frameworks like PaCE, I was validated when thinking about how important it is to put the idea of “what/who do you want to be…” in front of students versus leading advising conversations with thoughts simply about what college students want to attend. 2. “We need to shift the burden from the students to the system”. In multiple sessions, this thought came through. Simply by being a part of an unjust system means you have the proximity and power to play a role in fixing that system so that it better supports the students and families it is meant to serve. All of this has me even more excited to be a part of an organization like OneGoal that is focused on leading the movement to transform postsecondary advising and support. Onward!

Over the last week, I’ve chaired our promotion panels at Buckinghamshire New University. In many ways, it’s the most important meeting that we hold in universities. Not only do colleagues spend a great deal of time preparing, these panels pass judgement on careers, on achievements, on successes, on educational lives that demand so much. What stood out, what I’ve never experienced at other universities, is the seriousness, the gravity, with which we considered individual circumstances. We considered caring responsibilities, parenthood, illness, myriad other contexts that interrupted careers, with care, with compassion and with an understanding rare in the metric-heavy world of higher education. Most importantly, we attached *weight* to life-circumstances, counter to the normative patterns that reproduce normative promotions. All work histories are not the same. All lives are not the same. All interactions and intersections and interrelations between life and work are not the same. When we make these judgements, about careers, about promotions, about salaries, we need to remember that.

Finding ways to increase student success is everyone's business and creating opportunity and establishing a sense of 'place' is a way to get a head start. #studentsuccess #ItTakesAVillage #StudentSuccessisEveryonesBusiness
