11 Creative Strategies to Improve Community College Financial AidCampusLogic
Which students are least likely to apply for financial aid?
Apparently it’s those who need it the most, according to The Financial Aid Challenge. Community college students with low to moderate income are the population most unlikely to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA filing is the first requirement for students who seek federal financial aid; for many community college students, financial aid is the only way they will complete their programs. Yet, FAFSA apps aren’t coming in for the neediest students.
So what can community college financial aid directors do to make it easier for students to pursue financial aid? Below we discuss why community college students might not use financial aid. Then we expound on advice from The Financial Aid Challenge to offer solutions for your community college.
Modality as Contact Zone: The Convolution of Access, Politics, and Ethics in ...Chris Friend
This presentation uses a 2011 Florida law as a context for examining course modality as a contact zone. The law requires all high-school students to take at least one online course before graduation. The politically minded law ignores complex issues of access and ethics that become reified in our FYC courses. I will examine the “cultural and ideological characteristics” of this technological requirement to identify how writing instruction in various modalities can accommodate (or defend against) student expectations for online learning.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

8. Financial Aid/FAFSA
Completing your FAFSA
One of the most essential steps of the financial aid process is the completion of the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid, or what is commonly referred to as the FAFSA. Once
the FAFSA has been completed, the information is processed by the United States
Department of Education and the results are forwarded to schools listed on the Student
Aid Report (SAR).
First Time GPC Filers:
The earlier you file your FAFSA, the more options for aid you will have. Our priority
processing deadline for the FAFSA for the 2015-2016 academic year is April 1, 2015. The
FAFSA is available for completion on the first day of the calendar year (January 1st.) Keep
in mind that your FAFSA will be used for the entire academic year. For example, the 2014-
2015 FAFSA is used for Fall 2014, Spring 2015 and Summer 2015. The 2015-2016 FAFSA
will be used from Fall 2015 to Summer 2016. If you have any questions as to which FAFSA
to file, please contact our office at 678-891-3535.
