Vicki Vollweiler and Four Year Academic Planning
By Vicki Vollweiler, Founder of College Financial Prep
It was Lynne’s pleasure to speak with Vicki Vollweiler about our Four-Year Academic Planning model and just how important it is for families to establish a foundation for academic curiosity and identity exploration before embarking on a student's high school career.
We touched on elective courses, hobbies, clubs, and asynchronous experiences to offer students every available avenue to explore their interests. With that said conversations that shape a child from a middle school learner to a keen high schooler take finesse, time, and a pair of carefully sewn kit gloves.
These conversations can be delicate and nuanced, but utilizing your school or holistic academic counselor is best equipped to help you navigate this time. Utilizing 9th and 10th grade for career and personal exploration helps students establish skills that grow their confidence and research skills.
We wish that every student not use 9th and 10th grade electives as throwaway courses but as opportunities for skill building and introspection where all stakeholders can ask questions about what we enjoy, what we keep, and what we get rid of throughout every stage.
