Applying to college should be an exciting time, but so often students are bogged down by the process. There are so many steps, and so many important decisions to be made, it can all be overwhelming. I've seen countless students be so worried and stressed about the process that it tarnishes what's actually happening -- they're taking steps to build their futures, and that's an incredible thing! This class aims to be a place where we can demystify parts of the college preparation and application process, and where students can discuss their experiences and ideas. Having this open forum, I've found, can help students feel better prepared and actually find joy in exploring their options for the future. So why do kids need a class like this? I've worked most of my career in K-12 schools (I've been teaching for over a decade and my Master's degree is in educational leadership). But I also spent two years working with students at Barnard College in New York City, the sister school of Columbia University. In my time there working with kids from both colleges, it became apparent to me over and over again -- the stress that kids feel when applying to college doesn't dissipate when they get their decision letters. So many students shared fresh, raw stories about the application process years into their studies in college. I discussed the issue with other faculty members there, as well as other professionals in the K-12 realm, and this curriculum grew out of those insightful conversations. How do kids figure out what their 'dream school' is, and then how do they get in? What's the best way to approach the process? Is it OK if they don't end up going where they originally thought they would go? In each session of this ongoing course, we discuss topics that can both help kids be better prepared for applying to college, and less stressed as they navigate this new (and intriguing and exciting!) world.

Throughout my almost 2 decades in education, I have worked with students from Preschool all the way up to college. After receiving my education degree from SUNY Brockport, I received my Masters' Degree in Educational Administration (School Building Leader and School District Leader) from Lehman College. I have spent over a decade working for NYC DOE and also spent two years working at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University.
My experiences with students in all of these age groups taught me one thing, over and over again -- one size fits none. You can't mass produce education, it only works well if it's individualized, and if lessons are taught in ways that excite, interest and engage each student. In 2012, I started a company focusing on unique and individual learning techniques. Our in-person classes taught a myriad of educational lessons through mediums that gripped my students -- we taught math concepts through movement games, language and writing skills through art, etc. During the coronavirus pandemic, I transitioned that same concept to my Outschool classes -- it's a platform that I love because it allows me to tap into kids' niche interests in an even more drilled down way than I could do in person. Now, whether my younger students are learning about a certain calculation technique via a Pokemon character, or my older ones are discussing their true passions as a way to figure out how to get into their dream colleges, I'm most satisfied with my work when I'm meeting kids right where they are. Seeing a child learn something new while he or she is showcasing expertise in a subject area of passion is a win for me and for the student. I learn from my students every day, and I'm thrilled when they feel like they've grown and gained in each class, too.
