    Author Bio: Erin Humphreys University   I used to hear parents talk a lot about trying to understand the recruiting process. Many parents felt if their son received a letter from any University, then they were recruiting their son, which is not the case at all. Throughout an athlete's high school life, their recruitment will take many different turns. Most Universities’ coaching staffs base their recruiting on many different criteria. As a player, you must think:

    1. Does this University fit who I am as a person?
    2. Does this University have what I want to major in? Sports will stop one day.
    3. Do I have a good feeling about this coaching staff, and do I TRUST them?
    4. Can I play for this head coach? Because you are not playing for the assistant that recruited you. Assistants move more often.
    5. Have I met the players on the team who I will be living with the next four year? Very important.
    6. Do the coaches have the administrations support in how they are running the program? How long are they under contract?
    7. What’s a good distance for me? Weather at the school? Remember you are there for four years.
    8. How important is it that your parents are able to see you play often? Distance will factor in.
    9. How soon will I have the opportunity to play, and who is playing my position now?
    10. What style has that coach been playing while coaching? Most coaches do not change systems! Do I fit their style?
    Go where your heart tells you to go while having input from your parents, but you have to make the final decision, because you are the one going there to school. These are many of the questions that you must ask yourself while being recruited by different universities, but not the only ones. Every athlete has a different set of criteria of choosing a particular school. Put these questions in order from which are the most important to you to the least, because most schools will not fit every situation. Then, list the schools which are recruiting you and have offered you a scholarship across the top and start checking off which school meets most of what you are looking for. Remember being recruited and offering a scholarship are two different situations. Find out if they are offering you, because this will speed up the process. Remember every school has only so many scholarships each year, so knowing how many they have to give is important as well as where you are on the depth chart. You will know if they want you by how they interact with your whole family.

    Author Bio: Betty Hsu is a former English teacher and school district consultant. She is the co-founder of ProfessorWord, a site that helps students learn vocabulary as they read online. Visit us at www.professorword.com

    Having a strong vocabulary is critical, crucial, vital, essential, indispensable, imperative – the list can go on and on. In fact, research shows that vocabulary is one of the single most reliable predictors of a student’s future academic and career success.

    And yet, our students are struggling. On the 2011 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP)  Reading Assessment, the average vocabulary score for 4th grade students was just 218 out of 500; 8th grade was 265; 12th grade was 296.  That’s not good.

    How can you help your students improve?

    Direct-vocabulary instruction is important, but it’s not enough.  Learning 20 words a week x 36 weeks of school x 12 years = 8,640 words, which falls well short of the estimated 65,000 to 75,000 words needed to read and write well as adult.

    Research has shown that the most effective way – really the only way – to build such a substantial vocabulary is to read widely and deeply from a broad range of high-quality and increasingly challenging literary and informational texts.

    ProfessorWord offers free resources that can help your students do just that:

    1. Free tool to learn vocabulary from any website

    Our free tool works on any website to identify SAT/ACT vocabulary words and to allow students to click any word to learn its definition. Try it out today! Whether your students are reading an article from The New York Times or the online Folgers Edition of Romeo and Juliet, tell them to use ProfessorWord to help them learn vocabulary in context as they read.

    2. Free SAT/ACT Vocabulary Reading Challenge

    We also offer a free 6-week SAT/ACT Reading Challenge to help students learn the top 100 SAT/ACT vocabulary words. Over the six weeks, by reading 1-2 interesting articles a day (curated from top websites), students will be exposed to these 100 vocabulary words, multiple times in multiple contexts, to ensure that they really learn them.

    Check out our free tool and subscribe to our free Reading Challenge today at www.professorword.com.

    We’re also working on the ability for students to save words to a dashboard to create personalized study materials and to receive personalized reading suggestions to help them develop the vocabulary they need to succeed. If you’re interested in beta-testing with your students or if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know at betty@professorword.com. I’d love to hear from you!
