Texas OnCourse Leader Fellows
Jenifer Price College Counselor"As questions come up from students and parents or even other administrators, I have a go-to. That makes me look good – that I know where to go to find an answer if I don’t know it.”
Holly Moore District College Adviser"If I don’t know the answer, I can quickly obtain it, as well as provide training for other counselors and staff members in my school.”
Belinda Lytle High School Counselor"If a counselor called me and asked, 'Why would I use Texas OnCourse?,' I would tell them, this is the answer to all of your Google searching and all of your phone calls, and all of your digging through the files that you've had for 12 years."
Diane Silver High School Counselor“While there is greater access to information, few of our students and families know HOW to access the information they need. Empowering them to research and using tools like Texas OnCourse helps our students feel more in control.”
