We move from “social distancing” to “self-isolation” to even the prospect of avoiding the people we love. At colleges and universities across the country, we are pivoting quickly toward online learning, or as it is often called, distance learning.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iqJ1zvpjs3yLvqTbxPeEhje5r4ahd0CKfC942ETbTR3KOUaCAFxLD0vxyhCsvP_okJGkKlLlJke7X05OPPhJ82N8d1z9cQR0HH0KnlavU4ReERm3men-X2ABOMBO8XCyLdJb5JgPMpU/s2048/Justin+Urbas+Higher+Study.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Justin Urbas Higher Education" border="0" data-original-height="1356" data-original-width="2048" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iqJ1zvpjs3yLvqTbxPeEhje5r4ahd0CKfC942ETbTR3KOUaCAFxLD0vxyhCsvP_okJGkKlLlJke7X05OPPhJ82N8d1z9cQR0HH0KnlavU4ReERm3men-X2ABOMBO8XCyLdJb5JgPMpU/w320-h212/Justin+Urbas+Higher+Study.jpg" title="Justin Urbas Higher Education" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: times;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;">But here’s the secret most educators and students don’t yet know: done right, online education is surprisingly intimate.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;">That student who’s sitting far enough away in the lecture hall that you can’t quite read her expression amid the proverbial sea of faces?

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I get emails on a regular basis from educators who want to start an educational consulting career, but aren’t sure how to get started. They envision themselves coaching teachers, providing professional development, and supporting schools and teachers in a variety of ways, but can’t find any formal or official way of making the career shift to educational consulting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The first and most important step that should be taken by anyone who thinks they may want to get education consulting jobs is this:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Do you love helping teachers integrate technology into their instruction? Are you passionate about sharing best practices in a particular subject area? Does the idea of teaching other people how to reach students with disabilities make your heart pound with excitement? “Education” is a really broad area, so narrow down your area(s) of expertise. For me, this was obviously classroom management and helping teachers <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">enjoy</em> their work.</span></div>

Research carried out by Vitae, which supports the development of researchers, suggests that only 23% of doctoral graduates find employment as research staff in higher education, while 14% work as lecturers. In some subject areas, the figures are even more bleak: for arts and humanities subjects, only 14% secured a research position.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I talk to students individually I sometimes find they are a little reticent about asking their supervisor’s advice on becoming an academic. I don’t know if it’s because they’re concerned that their supervisor might not think they’re good enough, or because they think they will put them off it. But you need to talk to your supervisor and other academic colleagues – otherwise they won’t know what you want to do, and they won’t be able to help.

The USA isn’t just the biggest and most popular destination for PhD study abroad. It’s also one of the most unique. The US approach to postgraduate (or ‘graduate’) study is fundamentally different to the UK and Europe, involving structured degree programs that feature comprehensive training alongside independent research.</div>

These unique qualities enhance the appeal of a US PhD (after all, tens of thousands of international graduate students can’t be wrong). But they can also lead to some misunderstandings – particularly when it comes to fees and funding.</div>

If you are fresh out of your league, and standing in front of the big question – an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree, you need not worry. David Justin Urbas, a successful entrepreneur and tax adviser, can give you a few good reasons which will help you to decide the best course of action, that can lead to a better career path.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.75em; text-align: justify;">
When we finish school and plan to go for higher studies, it becomes pretty tough to choose between an associate’s degree and a bachelor’s degree. In order to make this decision, you need to know how both degrees differ from one another. Those differences are the very elements which are going to help you make the better call.</div>

<span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 21.5625px;">Seamless qualification is the best option to avail. It allows you to progress smoothly through the qualification levels without facing any hectic schedule. Rather than going for a low-level course at some kind of a VET institute, Justin Urbas suggest going with seamless qualification program. This program will allow the candidate to enroll for a specially designed degree program through certain qualification levels without the need for any transfer.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If a college uses interviews as part of the application process, it is because the school has holistic admissions. Most college interview questions are meant to help you and the interviewer find out if the college is a good match for you. Rarely will you get a question that puts you on the spot or tries to make you feel stupid. Remember, the college is also trying to make a good impression, and wants to get to know you as a person.</div>

Tips for an In-Person Appeal.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you've been dismissed or suspended from college for poor academic performance, you should appeal in person if given the opportunity. Unlike an appeal letter, an in-person appeal allows the scholastic standards committee to ask you questions and get a fuller sense of the issues leading up to your dismissal. Even if you know you will be nervous, an in-person appeal is usually your best bet. A shaky voice and even tears aren't going to hurt your appeal. In fact, they show that you care.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said, an in-person appeal can turn sour when the student makes some missteps. The tips below can help guide you so that you have the best chance of being readmitted.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What are your life goals?” is one of those questions that can put people in an uncomfortable position pretty quickly. Most answer this question by laughing it off and responding with something like “eating pizza with no pants on while watching Netflix - that’s what I really want.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing is, nobody wants to take the time to write down their life goals. People live busy lives, and when they do have the time, they’d rather kick it in front of the TV or lay on the couch playing with their phones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>From personal experience - take the time, it makes a world of difference.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What exactly are life goals? Simply put, they’re the things you would like to accomplish in your life. Life goals are the big things to work for and accomplish such as getting married and having a family, starting your own business, becoming a big-time executive, or traveling the globe. Life goals are essentially everything you want to do in life before passing on. They’re the stuff people remember you by when you are no longer around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why are goals so important? Setting goals gives you purpose, and they help you to guide your life. Think of life goals as your North Star. They’ll guide you where you want to go, but it’s still on you to choose the path to get there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that you’ve got a better understanding of what life goals are, let’s talk about how to set and start working towards them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Setting life goals in 30 minutes or less</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most people already have a decent idea of what they truly want in life, they just haven’t taken the time to write it down. If that’s you, great. If you have no clue what you want, that’s okay too, I’ll walk you through it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if you’ve already gone through a similar exercise as I’m about to describe, try not to brush off the following activity just yet. Maybe it’s been a while and some of your goals have changed. Maybe there’s a few more things you really want that eluded you before. It may be worth it to go through and rework your plan a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A high school and higher education partnership is essential for a successful early college high school. Here are 6 tips for getting starting on forming that relationship:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>First and foremost</b>, you need to believe, really believe, that first generation students – high school students – can be successful in the types of learning experiences your institution offers, given the right conditions and support.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Think local.</b> When it comes to growing your own student body, look no further than your own backyard. How much do you invest traveling the nation or the globe seeking new students only to have them graduate and return home? Would your organization and your community actually see a greater benefit if you began to attract and retain local students? What can you do to expand your base of students by opening the doors to those young people in the neighborhood surrounding your campus whose families may not have higher education in their past experience?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Higher education is one of the most important phases of one’s life and one that shapes their professional future. The need to set goals and excel at a higher level is primary among students. Higher education consultant <b>Justin Urbas</b> has some key tips that can be followed by students who are considering higher education options. Let’s have a look: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Ways To Ensure Quality Higher Education </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Select a good institution -</b> One of the prerequisites of quality higher education is a quality institution. It is important for students to shortlist a number of top educational institutions which can offer quality academic opportunities. Before you enroll into one, gaining information about its courses and curriculum is necessary. One can read reviews online to understand if a course is suitable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Choose your course -</b> This is one of the most important decisions in your higher education ambitions. One should consider their interests and strengths to choose their courses. Studying what you love is the key to making your academic pursuits successful. If you choose something that you are not interested in, learning will not be a fun experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Take preparations -</b> Going for higher education at an institution is a process that requires a lot of mental and emotional preparation. The change of setting often proves to be too much for students who are renting accommodation away from home. Everything like food, amenities and proper spending of available finances needs to be taken care of. In addition, one needs to be open minded and embrace the obvious changes in lifestyle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do your best -</b> If you are going to do something right, it requires patience and dedication. In case of higher education, it is definitely so. Try not to miss any lectures or workshops, and give your all to get assignments done within stipulated timelines. However, it is not just about attending classes and being punctual. One must try to absorb as much knowledge as possible, to actually learn subjects with precision. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Be proactive -</b> Education at any level requires students to be proactive, in order to achieve the best learning experience. Be engaged in class and do not be apprehensive about asking difficult questions. Tutors also appreciate if students volunteer to express their observations and deductions about particular subject matters. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do everything else -</b> All work and no play can definitely be detrimental, even to your learning progress. That is why higher education students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities like events, sports and recreation. Socializing is also important to share ideas, opinions and improve one’s environment. It is refreshing for the mind to do things other than studying all day long. You are also likely to learn better and faster with a fresh mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Create a schedule and stick to it -</b> Efficiency is the key when it comes to quality learning. Students must figure out how to spend their study time, and how to divide it among different subjects. Finding out the areas that need to be focused on is critical, as you will be able more stress on that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are interested in exploring higher education options, getting in touch with a higher education consultant can show you the best way forward. </div>

<b>Different Types of Higher Education Consulting Professionals</b><br />
<br />
One must realize that educational consultants might be of three types. Here are the types according to their respective functional areas.<br />
<br />
Consultant for students - These are individuals who work with students and parents to find the best higher educational options. Services provided by them include helping the student gain admission.<br />
<br />
Consultant for schools and colleges - This category of educational consultants work closely with the admins and faculties of educational institutions. Their duties span areas including resolving and improving HR, curriculum, faculty matters and educational activities.<br />
<br />
Education industry consultants - They work with education companies, to find the best solutions for improving both teaching and learning experiences. Their job is to maintain and enhance the quality of education.<br />
<br />
Schools and colleges rely on educational consultants to find solutions to any kind of academic or curriculum related issues. They are expert communicators who work with institutions of all types, and sit with their administrations to assess key needs.<br />
<br />
Accordingly, they determine the best solutions to simplify and enhance the entire educational process. Consultants work with school and university boards to determine the changes that need to be incorporated. Students, institutions and education companies across the USA keep benefiting from professional education consultant services.<br />

Like Caesar’s Gaul, my academic life has been divided into three parts, each 15 to 20 years in length. The first period, 1965-81, was during higher education’s Golden Age. For many years, I received double digit annual salary increases, time off for research, et cetera. Because of soaring enrollments, faculty were scarce so their clout was pretty substantial. It was a great time to become a professor. Academically, I established myself as an economic historian, writing up to a dozen papers a year in the early 1970s, mainly on labor economics topics, like the positive contributions of internal and international migration and the economics of slavery. Federal involvement in higher education was growing, but from an extremely small base and the cost of college was falling relative to incomes.<br />
<br />
The second part of my career was from 1981 to about 2000. This was my public policy phase, starting out with a stint with the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. It was the early stages of the supply side economics revolution, and I put my training in public finance to good advantage. In this period I turned out my most important academic work with my colleague Lowell Gallaway, Out of Work: Unemployment and Government in Twentieth-Century America, but also began writing a lot for the popular press, which continues to this day. Lowell and I annoyed the daylights out of Ohio’s Governor (as evidenced by him attacking us at a press conference), which made me feel good in a way: more than some obscure academics thought our work had consequences.<br />

My recent travels, including to the annual conference of the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC), have led me again into conversations with members of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and Higher Educational Consultants Association (HECA). An increasing number of families are looking for consultants to help their children through the college process. You may, or may not, want to join the crowd.<br />
<br />
First, do you really need a consultant? When I started work in an independent school in Florida, I met with a local consultant who had clients in our school. I told her that I respected such work, having done some after attending the IECA Summer Institute, been a member of the organization, and become a Certified Educational Planner. I also told her that if we were doing our jobs in the fine school where I worked, no family in our community needed her services, other than perhaps for standardized test prep or academic tutoring.<br />
