Higher Education: Finding The Right College For You
If you are approaching the end of high school and are ready to begin investigating colleges, there are several factors to consider before deciding what college is right for you. Whether you want to study medicine or painting, accounting or physical education, there are hundreds of colleges to choose from, each with their own specialized programs of study. Narrowing down your options can be a challenging task, but it is important to make an informed choice about where to continue your education.
When you are deciding which schools to which you would like to apply, you should first assess your chances of being accepted. If you are a C student with average test scores and no extra-curricular activities, you might not want to put all of your application eggs in one Ivy League basket. However, if you can afford to, you should always apply to the school of your dreams on the off chance that it just might come through for you. If you don’t try, you will never know whether or not you could have gotten in.
If you have made straight A’s throughout high school, have high SAT and ACT test scores and have participated in a wide variety of activities, you have high chances of getting into any school of your choice. Even if you have very limited finances to work with, you should still apply to your top choices. If you are accepted, you may be able to receive scholarships and financial aid, and you always have the option to take out student loans.

12 Helpful Tips to Pass the CELTA or TEFL Teaching Preparation Course
As a Trinity College of London post-graduate diploma holder in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) when a co-worker seriously queried me on the rigors and requirements of taking a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification course for teaching English, I recommended an upcoming CELTA (Certification in English Language Teaching) teacher training certification program at the British Council. After several conversations with him I thought,
“Why not give the prospective CELTA trainee some advice right from a proven source?”
Having such teaching certification opens doors internationally for English teaching positions, enabling certificate holders to work in scores if not hundreds of countries worldwide. But the more reputable and highly-regarded 120+ hour programs are intensive, stressful and difficult regardless of the experience and amount of preparation trainees may have.

Making the Most of Public Education
Your child is not doomed to a mediocre education if you send them to a public rather than a private school. Some parents believe that the path to Ivy League schools and the highest quality of education is through private schooling. There are potential benefits to sending your children to private schools including smaller classroom sizes and often more focus on preparing for future college attendance. However, your child can receive a great education and have the same opportunities for college after attending public school.
There are steps you can take to ensure that your child gets the most out of their years of public education. From the beginning of their school days, you need to be actively involved in their education. Attend all parent-teacher conferences. Make time to attend school functions and to get to know the teaching staff. Take the time to always know what your child is studying in school, what homework they have, and the date of any upcoming tests and quizzes.
Join the parent-teacher association so that you know everything that is going on at your child’s school. Volunteer directly at the school as well. Even if you cannot volunteer on a regular basis, make sure to volunteer at least once or twice each year. You can have more feedback on your child and their education if you are actively present at the school and if you interact with teachers regularly.
