For Educators
Educators do their best work when they engage groups of students and build personal relationships. In the current climate, finding ways to continue to create that engagement and to support student education is challenging. To help, we are sharing resources that we hope will help you navigate the transition of educational and learning practices to an online format.
Featured Resource
The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) has a number of resources for professionals who are helping students while they pursue post-secondary education. Specifically, this page focuses on providing guidance regarding legal, scholarship, and ally information for those who are supporting LGTBQ and other non-binary students through the search and application process.
