Kahn Academy
This may only apply to math, and potentially the art department. But I
thought it was pretty cool that Kahn Academy started using Pixar as a
base.

Free help to prep for new PSAT, current and soon-changing SAT
Here
are some links to the Khan Academy where students can practice for the
new PSAT (to be given next month) as well as the current and revised
SAT, which students
will begin taking in March 2016. That means this year’s juniors, who
take the SAT at the end of this school year, will be taking the new SAT.
If you’re working with juniors, please give them the head up and share these links.

SAT Practice on KhanAcademy.org for the new SAT /

IMPORTANT NEWS: Filing FAFSA earlier and more transparency on success of students who receive federal aid
Big news in the College Performance and FAFSA world this weekend.
Here are the links to two Higher Ed articles that explain the things you’ve probably heard, or will hear, on the news.
Ultimately,
BEGINNING this time next year, we will need to shift the FAFSA focus
(including things like College 101 Night for Seniors and Parents and our
FAFSA
help night) to fall instead of January. https://www.insidehighered.

This
new data shows publicly, for the first time, the share of a college’s
former students who make some progress in paying down their federal
loans within the
first three years after leaving college. And they provide the first
comprehensive look at how much students who receive federal loans and
Pell Grants end up earning after they leave a specific college, both in
the short term and long term. In spite of their
limitations, the new data is likely to add fuel to the growing debate
in Washington over ways to hold the nation’s colleges -- which
collectively receive roughly $150 billion in federal aid each year --
more accountable for student outcomes.

And here’s news we already know if we have or have had teens in our lives.
