High School Guidance Counselor Advisory Board

Did You
know?

Did you know that only 13% of students that are placed into developmental courses – non-credit courses in math and writing provided by the college – ever graduate? You can also take our free math assessment to see whether you are a developmental student or not.


Testimonials

I liked the idea of taking a math course to better my education on my own time.

Join the High School Guidance Counselor Advisory Board

Students are under more stress and competition is stronger than at any time in the last 30 years. At the same time, financial pressures, an increase in options combined with a decrease in access to those options, as well as changes in traditional education and career paths make guiding your students more challenging than ever.

You’re on the front lines of the education revolution – which is why we want to recruit you.

Join our Guidance Counselor Advisory Board and help us change education for the better.

Who We Are

StraighterLine is a provider of high quality, low cost online college and distance learning courses. We offer required college courses, many of which are ACE reviewed and recommended, and AP Courses approved by The College Board. We are also beginning to add our ideas into the public mix of thought surrounding the state of education in this country, and ways it could be improved.

What You’ll Do

As a member of the StraighterLine Guidance Counselor Advisory Board, you would interface with the other members of the Board virtually, via private discussion groups, blogs and email. Initially, StraighterLine would provide subjects about which we’d like your opinions, from quality of education to student debt. From the start, Advisors can also suggest topics for discussion.

In addition, we would also solicit your voluntary opinion on our course offerings and participation in brief surveys about aspects of online and traditional learning (HS and college). Finally, we offer you the opportunity to draft articles or blog posts, either individually or jointly. We will help disseminate these, along with the reported findings and opinions of the Advisory Board, to a wider audience as part of our Online Education Resources Center, our PR efforts, and our blog.

Why You Should Join

  • Make your guidance voice be heard beyond the walls of your school or your district. The Advisory Board’s findings, recommendations, and opinions will be disseminated into the education community at large.
  • This is a great opportunity if you’re a high school guidance counselor seeking to advance your credentials.
  • Learn more about online college education which is now indisputably part of the American landscape of higher education.
  • Find potential new ways to help your students and schools.
  • Network with other board members.
  • It is fun to work with a disruptive start up… and there’s no entrenched bureaucracy limiting what you say or recommend. There’s room for opinions of all kinds, and the more diverse, the better.

Conclusion

It is not the case that one higher education solution fits the needs of today’s high school juniors and seniors. And nobody knows that better than a high school guidance counselor like you.

Join a team whose goal is to advise students about higher education choices that fit today’s student and his or her individual needs. Your professional satisfaction – and that of your students – will significantly rise.
