Rewire - "Why New Teachers are Burning Out Early" by Gretchen Brown

One of the most important parts of a college experience is the opportunity to learn new things in the classroom and outside the classroom. As students earn credits for courses and other engagements, it is critical for them to have official records that reflect what they know and can do. One role on campus that helps with that is the college registrar and in this episode, Dr. P. talks with Dr. Tom Green, an expert on how colleges maintain students' academic records.

Tom is Associate Executive Director, Consulting and Strategic Enrollment Management at the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO). During Tom Green’s more than 30-year career as an enrollment manager, he has led enrollment management efforts for six universities and collaborated with both public and private institutions to reach their goals. Tom brings proven best-practice expertise in developing effective recruitment strategies, enhancing and streamlining financial aid processes, maximizing institutional aid, identifying customer service/CRM strategies, and implementing and evaluating comprehensive service systems for colleges and universities.

Tom’s first-hand education experience includes his tenure as Vice President for Enrollment Management at Eastern Michigan University, and as Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. There, Tom oversaw multiple functions including admission, bursar, financial aid and registrar offices. Under his direction, new student enrollment grew by 12% while SAT scores rose by over 65 points. While heading academic advising, adult re-entry centers, admission, registrar and financial aid operations at Newman University, Tom lead the university to a 54% increase in freshman students and net revenue increases of 95%.

A former chair for AACRAO’s financial aid, enrollment management and retention committees, Tom is a sought-after speaker at enrollment meetings and conferences worldwide. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership, Management and Policy from Seton Hall University.

Lesley V. Chambers is back to share her insight on what we need to know about grades 10-12. There is so much to understand and figure out in these crucial years as our children plan their post-secondary paths. High school is an overwhelming time for students and parents alike.

Let Lesley take some of the mystique out and give you some concrete ideas that can make your job a bit easier. She breaks down what we need to know for each grade level including plans for technical college, military and college paths. 

As busy as our children are during this time between their classes and planning for post-graduation, it's easy to get behind. Lesley will give you a schedule and keep you on track for a seamless transition. 

As a mother of four, Lesley alleviated much of my anxiety during these years. She can help you, too!
