Parents have a lot on their plate, so having to add one more thing is probably not welcome news, but did you know that every parent should be preparing their elementary school student for college and a career?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents may look back on their own childhood and think of carefree days, playing outside, watching television, and sleeping late on weekends; unfortunately, that was then, and this is now, and now it\u2019s suggested that it\u2019s never too early for children to begin formulating college and career plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, students should begin thinking about college and career as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/EJ1172267.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">early as kindergarten<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Besides a full load of homework, many young students also have sports, robotics, coding, music, or language learning to fill most of their non-school time. Expecting elementary-school students to also analyze their college or career options may be asking too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/schoolboard\/2015\/07\/30\/college-planning-whens-too-early-to-begin\/#7d0a90ed20b1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the reason for this early-childhood emphasis on college and career is this<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u201cOnly 9% of students from low-income families earn a bachelor\u2019s degree \u2013 an increase of just three percentage points since 1970.\u00a0 During the same time period, completion rates for affluent students skyrocketed, from 40% to 77%. Sadly, the college completion gap is widening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is competition making it more challenging for children of affluent families to get into college, but it\u2019s becoming less likely that children from low-income families will ever set foot in a college or university. Parents can help change those odds immensely, putting their student on a path to success early in life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American College Test\u2019s (ACT) Center for Equity in Learning and the American College of Education\u2019s (ACE) College Application Campaign have developed material meant to be used by school counselors but can just as effectively <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acenet.edu\/news-room\/Documents\/College%20and%20Career%20Awareness%20Activities%20for%20Elementary%20and%20Middle%20School%20Students%201.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">be used by parents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get children thinking about college and career choices in the early grades.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pta.org\/home\/family-resources\/college-and-career-readiness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Parent-Teacher Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PTA) provides the following worrisome statistics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, only 39% of ACT-tested graduates met three or more of the four ACT College Readiness Benchmarks in English, math, reading and science. One out of three students\u201434%\u2014did not meet any of the benchmarks, indicating they are ill-prepared in all four core subject areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year in the United States, numerous college students discover that, despite being fully eligible to attend college, they are not ready for postsecondary studies. Millions of dollars are spent on remediation course work\u2014classes that are\u00a0not credit bearing but cost the same.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is estimated that nearly half\u00a0of young Americans are unable to join the armed forces. A large contributing factor is poor educational achievement; nearly one-fourth of the students that try to join the military cannot pass the entrance exam.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses across the country depend on a highly qualified workforce prepared for jobs in the 21st century. Today\u2019s workplace requires employees to be able to think on their feet, make decisions and solve problems.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To remedy the situation, the National PTA says that their role is to \u201cadvocate as a powerful voice for all children and a relevant resource for families and communities\u2014providing resources to help parents and families support and assist with their child&#8217;s education including readiness for college and career.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/k-12reforms\/standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Department of Education<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also claims to be there to help, and says, \u201cIt&#8217;s critical that, collectively, we raise the bar so that every student in this country\u2014regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or geographic location\u2014is held to high learning standards that will ensure students have the skills to compete in today&#8217;s global, knowledge-based economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can you, as a parent, do to help your child begin making their college and career plans and to act as a partner with your child\u2019s school, PTA and Department of Education? There are many approaches to helping to direct children to the college degree or career that\u2019s right for them, from making young children aware of the plethora of career options available to them, to taking your student to visit college campuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, children need to develop the skills that will make it easier for them to be ready to make good choices in determining their future. While schools focus on teaching and improving a student\u2019s skills in subjects like math, science, or reading, parents can play a crucial role by teaching interpersonal skills a student will need. To that end, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.edmentum.com\/preparing-your-child-college-5-critical-soft-skills-college-readiness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edmentum, Inc.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides five contributions a parent can make by helping their child develop skills in:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Self-Management<\/strong><br \/>\nAs a student\u2019s grade level advances, there is less structure while more responsibilities are placed<br \/>\nupon the student. At college, there is almost no structure and all the responsibility for<br \/>\ncompleting coursework is placed completely on the student. It\u2019s important that even children in<br \/>\nthe earliest grades learn to manage their time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communication<\/strong><br \/>\nGood communication skills are vital to success throughout life. Parents can help children learn to express their thoughts, ideas, feelings, and challenges in both verbal and written form. It\u2019s also important for children to learn the different styles of communication required for different<br \/>\naudiences so they recognize the difference in how they would speak or write to a prospective<br \/>\nboss and how they would communicate with a friend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaboration<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking with others will be necessary throughout life. Many projects in both school and career<br \/>\nrequire working with a team and students should be prepared to interact with others whose<br \/>\nbackground and worldviews may be different from their own, and to accept and embrace those<br \/>\ndifferences. Working in groups also requires occasional conflict resolution and knowing how to<br \/>\nmake disagreements productive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal Goal Setting<\/strong><br \/>\nWhenever we go anywhere, we plan our route and choose a path to reach our destination. College and career planning are no different. Help your student set personal goals and identify a path which can be taken to reach those goals. Students will be faced with an overwhelming number of options and possibilities, many of which redirect them from their goal. Students need to learn how not to be distracted and how to stay on the path they\u2019ve set to reach their goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking<\/strong><br \/>\nLearning to solve problems will be a skill needed every day in both college and career. It\u2019s<br \/>\nimportant that students are also able to see the mistakes they\u2019ve made and to use that<br \/>\nexperience in future problem-solving. Another crucial skill is for students to be intellectually<br \/>\ncurious and critical thinkers. Students should always ask questions and move beyond simply<br \/>\nlearning facts to learning the \u201chow\u201d and the \u201cwhy\u201d behind those facts. As in literature, there is<br \/>\nthe story which one can take at face value, and there is the symbolism behind the story, which is<br \/>\nwhere the book\u2019s real message truly lies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Children may not realize it, but they begin making life choices at an early age and parents are in a better position than anyone to help ensure the choices they make are the right ones. Helping a child to find their passion\u2014whether it\u2019s being a fireman, a biologist, a dentist, a teacher, a medical researcher, or an electrician\u2014will give them the opportunity to spend their lives doing something they love, and that may be one of the greatest gifts a parent can give.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parenting is a full-time job, which makes it difficult since most parents already have full-time jobs.
