NCAA initial-eligibility policies sit at the nexus of secondary education, higher education, and college athletics. Trends in those respective realms have led to several updates in NCAA high school review practices to accommodate student-centered and competency-based learning.
Join this interactive panel discussion with staff from the NCAA Eligibility Center and South Kent School. Panelists will provide an overview of NCAA high school review policies and updates, considerations for competency- or mastery-based models, and include the opportunity to ask questions and hear various perspectives about NCAA policies and processes.
