Please share with us your name position & Wayne school affiliation Let's also get started on our college knowledge & share your alma mater! #wearewayne
A1: Desire and goals! Students have to want it. Yes, attending college requires skills, but without motivation and drive, even the most skilled folks can lose sight of their purpose for waking up in the morning! #DareToCare#findyourwhy#GoalSetting#wearewayne#collegeknowledge
A1. Test scores, grade, ability to write are popular among those looking in, but I see "grit" being a huge factor for college readiness...Or any post high school readiness #wearewayne
A1. For years GPA (in context of the students high school) and test scores have been the key data points. Non cognitive skills that are more difficult to measure are gaining importance as colleges research retention. #IMPACT#wearewayne

SECOND "COLLEGE KNOWLEDGE" QUESTION
Q2: Once students decide to attend college, how should they proceed in finding the right campus for them? #wearewayne
You got it @MrsCarlino Ivy Tech Community College if you consider the network of colleges in Indiana which has 45 campuses, 75 locations, and 160,000 students a year! #wearewayne
A2: They need to figure out what they want to do, and who offers the best programs. They should also visit the campuses of the colleges they are considering. Talk to alum and students, too. #wearewayne
Q2. Online resources, visits, student testimonials, content strengths, and job placement success with internships should be considered...balanced with cost of course. #wearewayne
A2: Campus tours would be my top answer, especially student led to allow them to get a feel for the campus, hear about the resources, and ask questions from someone who attends #wearewayne

A2:They need to decide what they might be interested in, and go visit campus to see if it's the right fit. #wearewayne
Sorry Iām late...was packing away! š¦š¦š¦ A2: Do your research! Naviance #SuperMatch is a great tool to help you refine your search! Programs - Location - Size. Then go visit!!! #wearewayne
A2. I love this question! In addition to talking to their school counselor, family, and teachers, Students can use the Supermatch College Search in Naviance to start a list of colleges of interest. Next step is to Visit! #wearewayne
Yes! BDU scholars area used to a small environment like our building of approx. 400 students, versus what we had @BenDavisHS where my class was 1000! #wearewayne pathways can help students know more about their education preferences BEFORE they choose their #postwayne home
Love that answer @apearish Naviance is a game changer to quote @WendySkibinski! It makes puts the post-secondary world right at your fingertips. #wearewayne
A2: College visits! What feels right? What would make a good fit? What majors are offered? Financially, what makes sense? Do they have good sport teams? š Itās a big commitment ... donāt limit your possibilities based on familiarity! #wearewayne
I'm a calzone girl, but totally agree with scoping out the food options! I sure missed mom's cooking! #wearewayne trips were nearly every weekend for that and laundry!
A3: providing information on multiple pathways and supporting them during their decision making ... allowing them to see all options before committing to one! No such thing as a one size fits all approach in future planning #wearewayne
A3: Wayne does a great job with career center. Providing lots of opportunities to explore different jobs. Guidance from school staff as they see S's interests, skills. #wearewayne
A2: Itās Michelle Stohler, Parent of three BD grads. As parents, we must listen to what our kids are trying to tell us. Listening is one of the most important skill to muster when supporting our children through this process. #wearewayne
A3. Counseling is huge with helping students understand their strengths and goal setting towards their future....then guidance towards the correct path. #wearewayne
A3: Itās important that Ts and counselors have those conversations with Ss to help find them define their path. We are blessed to have @A31CareerCenter leading the way for our students who are interested in the trades! #wearewayne
The only mistake students make is to leave high school without a plan! We are so lucky to have @A31CareerCenter in our township. Tomorrow they are hosting a continuing education fair for our students. Technical Certificates & apprenticeship opportunities galore! #WEAREWAYNE
