When my daughter was a high school senior, I was a stay-at-home mom. There were significant changes to the SAT that year that we didnât fully understand, so I spent hours scouring the Internet for information that would help us determine the score she needed to get into the college she wanted to attend. When we met with my daughterâs school counselor, I shared all the information I had discovered and she asked me âHave you ever considered becoming a college and career counselor?â My daughterâs now a college graduate, Iâve been a college and career counselor for four years, and there have been many positive changes since my SAT research which have improved the ability of parents, teachers, and counselors to help students navigate a path to their desired future. One of the biggest improvementsâa tool that I wish I had when I was preparing my daughter for her life after graduationâis the Next Steps Idaho website. Families can find all the Idaho-specific resources they need for students to pursue an apprenticeship, career-technical program, college, or other post-secondary path instead of wasting hours scouring the web. Because the platform is managed by the Idaho State Board of Education, you can be assured information is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. I was happy to wade through the Internet to help my daughter, but it would have saved me a lot of time if Iâd been able to find reliable information on the SAT and applying to college in one easy-to-use site.
