All day, I hear about competitiveness, stress, anxiety, and frustration and yelling in homes around the world over this. And, frankly, I disagree with this method. What if you could get in consciously....Knowing the universe has your back? What if you surrendered a bit and knew that the world is here to support you, and that having a team can help you and your family get through this in a relaxed and strategic way?In this book, I am going to literally walk you through exactly how to help your child from building a college list, all the way to submitting applications. Just a quick disclaimer, this book is NOT guaranteed to get you into a top college. The truth is that the level of success for children is highly related to their own work, and while I have been an incredible coach and mentor to help mold and shape children's lives around the world, I will tell you that the relationship I have with students is highly dependent on the child itself.This book is written for both adults and teenagers - but I typically write in a style that is directed towards the teenager - so please keep this in mind if you are a parent. Many parents read this book - and I want you to read it first and hand it over to your teenager afterwards. I know that getting into college is a family decision and a very important one - and I take this very seriously.

Book excerpt: Year after year, Rafe Esquith’s fifth-grade students excel. They read passionately, far above their grade level; tackle algebra; and stage Shakespeare so professionally that they often wow the great Shakespearen actor himself, Sir Ian McKellen. Yet Esquith teaches at an L.A. innercity school known as the Jungle, where few of his students speak English at home, and many are from poor or troubled families. What’s his winning recipe? A diet of intensive learning mixed with a lot of kindness and fun. His kids attend class from 6:30 A.M. until well after 4:00 P.M., right through most of their vacations. They take field trips to Europe and Yosemite. They play rock and roll. Mediocrity has no place in their classroom. And the results follow them for life, as they go on to colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford. Possessed by a fierce idealism, Esquith works even harder than his students. As an outspoken maverick of public education (his heroes include Huck Finn and Atticus Finch), he admits to significant mistakes and heated fights with administrators and colleagues. We all—teachers, parents, citizens—have much to learn from his candor and uncompromising vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Joe A. Howell, born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1930, served as an educator in five different states and two foreign countries. His experience came from being a teacher, professor, dean, vice president, counselor, and, for eighteen years, president of Central Methodist College, in Missouri. He received his doctorates from George Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. His publications in professional journals are extensive, and he has authored five books on higher education. Over the years he has given the same advice to parents and teachers. When asked how to treat a student or child, he answers, Treat them as you would like to be treated. Throughout forty years, he learned many particulars about the selecting and graduating from college. One of the factors often overlooked is the importance the entire family plays. It is not either the child or the parent, it is the entire family. A partnership, if you will, between the prospective college student and the students parents. It is this important relationship that this book is all about. All too often it takes more than the planned four years for the student to graduate from college. All too often a four-year supply of funds is not enough. All too often the reason for the delaying graduation has nothing to do with the students ability to accomplish the academic challenges. Too often it has to do with selecting the wrong college. This book is directed toward helping the family fine the match between themselves and the institution. Sound simple? Perhaps, but the statistics are clear. Only about 50 percent of all entering freshman graduate in the planned four years. Yes, the match or mismatch between family and institution goes a long way toward graduating and enjoying college.

From preparing the preliminary outline, work file, and bibiliography, Research Shortcuts proceeds to using the appropriate resource guides, as well as modern aids to research. It also discusses shortcuts that reach the experts: writing letters that get questions answered, and making face-to-face (or telephone) interviews pay off. A final section is devoted to using the research data: first drafts, choosing specific quotes wisely, paraphrasing, and final drafts.

From the end of high school through college graduation, he lays out exactly what students need to do to acquire the skills companies want. Full of tips, advice, and insight, this wise, practical guide will help every student, no matter their major or degree, find real employment—and give their parents some peace of mind.

Book excerpt: More than two million students are enrolled in for-profit colleges, from the small family-run operations to the behemoths brandished on billboards, subway ads, and late-night commercials. These schools have been around just as long as their bucolic not-for-profit counterparts, yet shockingly little is known about why they have expanded so rapidly in recent years—during the so-called Wall Street era of for-profit colleges. In Lower Ed Tressie McMillan Cottom—a bold and rising public scholar, herself once a recruiter at two for-profit colleges—expertly parses the fraught dynamics of this big-money industry to show precisely how it is part and parcel of the growing inequality plaguing the country today. McMillan Cottom discloses the shrewd recruitment and marketing strategies that these schools deploy and explains how, despite the well-documented predatory practices of some and the campus closings of others, ending for-profit colleges won't end the vulnerabilities that made them the fastest growing sector of higher education at the turn of the twenty-first century. And she doesn't stop there. With sharp insight and deliberate acumen, McMillan Cottom delivers a comprehensive view of postsecondary for-profit education by illuminating the experiences of the everyday people behind the shareholder earnings, congressional battles, and student debt disasters. The relatable human stories in Lower Ed—from mothers struggling to pay for beauty school to working class guys seeking "good jobs" to accomplished professionals pursuing doctoral degrees—illustrate that the growth of for-profit colleges is inextricably linked to larger questions of race, gender, work, and the promise of opportunity in America. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with students, employees, executives, and activists, Lower Ed tells the story of the benefits, pitfalls, and real costs of a for-profit education. It is a story about broken social contracts; about education transforming from a public interest to a private gain; and about all Americans and the challenges we face in our divided, unequal society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each fall, thousands of eager freshmen descend on college and university campuses expecting the best education imaginable: inspiring classes taught by top-ranked professors, academic advisors who will guide them to a prestigious job or graduate school, and an environment where learning flourishes outside the classroom as much as it does in lecture halls. Unfortunately, most of these freshmen soon learn that academic life is not what they imagined. Classes are taught by overworked graduate students and adjuncts rather than seasoned faculty members, undergrads receive minimal attention from advisors or administrators, and potentially valuable campus resources remain outside their grasp. Andrew Roberts’ Thinking Student’s Guide to College helps students take charge of their university experience by providing a blueprint they can follow to achieve their educational goals—whether at public or private schools, large research universities or small liberal arts colleges. An inside look penned by a professor at Northwestern University, this book offers concrete tips on choosing a college, selecting classes, deciding on a major, interacting with faculty, and applying to graduate school. Here, Roberts exposes the secrets of the ivory tower to reveal what motivates professors, where to find loopholes in university bureaucracy, and most importantly, how to get a personalized education. Based on interviews with faculty and cutting-edge educational research, The Thinking Student’s Guide to College is a necessary handbook for students striving to excel academically, creatively, and personally during their undergraduate years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students across America have learned that the transition from high school to college is one of the toughest assignments they have ever received. And, for a Christian student, achieving success in a secular university is even harder. Did you know that . . . Only 32% of high school seniors graduate with the skills they need for college. Only 20% of entering college students have the basic quantitative skills necessary to compare ticket prices or calculate the cost of food. By the end of their freshman year 30% of college students drop out. The four-year graduation rate for students attending public colleges and universities is currently 33%. The six-year rate is 58%. More than 85% of college students feel overwhelmed and 51% report that "things are hopeless." Christian students are not immune to the bad statistics. They should be our best college students, but many are falling prey to the same forces that derail secular students. What is a parent to do? Help is here! In this book, we give Christian parents the straight scoop on how to prepare your kids for college. Far more Christian students end up at secular colleges and universities than Christian colleges, but there are few resources to help parents. We show you what to do, what to avoid, what critical information you need, and which battles to fight. We offer tons of talking points to share with your kids. And best, we save you sleep, frustration, money, heartaches, pints of Baskin-Robbins double chocolate, and hours of watching the Hallmark Channel to chill out.
