Texas College Bridge
Texas College Bridge has been an incredible resource for helping me guide students as they transition from high school to college. Through this network, I’ve learned practical strategies to support students in understanding college readiness requirements and exploring their postsecondary options. It’s rewarding to see students gain confidence and clarity about their next steps, knowing I helped them navigate the sometimes-overwhelming world of college preparation.
Accuplacer
Working with Accuplacer has given me the tools to better understand students’ academic strengths and areas where they might need extra support. As a CCMR coordinator, I use this knowledge to help students prepare for assessments, set goals, and feel more prepared for college-level work. It’s fulfilling to witness their growth and celebrate their achievements, whether it’s mastering a challenging concept or improving their test scores.
APPLY Texas
APPLY Texas has been a game-changer in helping students successfully submit their college applications. Staying connected with this network keeps me up-to-date on deadlines, requirements, and best practices, which I pass along to my students. I love being the person they can turn to when they’re feeling overwhelmed by applications—helping them complete that crucial step toward their future is one of the most meaningful parts of my job.
TACRAO
TACRAO connects me with higher education professionals and gives me insights into admissions trends, policies, and best practices. The relationships I build through this network help me advocate for my students and provide them with up-to-date guidance. Knowing that I can bridge the gap between high school and college for my students makes my work feel impactful every single day.
