Oh, these college board posts! What is a "recommender" and what does it mean to "invite" them?!? And what's it mean about assigning to a school?? It's like you're speaking a different language. :(

 

Oh, I'm so intimidated by this stuff. :( I can teach high school, I just don't have a clue how to do this college stuff.

What people are talking about are teachers or other adults who can write letters of recommendation.

 

The inviting and assigning comments refer to the way that a student inputs contact information and initiates an email invitation to be sent from the Common Application system to the email of the person writing the letter of recommendation.

 

You don't need to worry much about the process now.  There is a good chance that by the time your kids reach college application time, the details of the process will have changed.

 

You may want to consider who might be in a position to write letters of recommendation in a couple years.  One reason my son started taking math as a dual enrolled student at a local college was to have a non-family member math instructor who could write a letter of recommendation.
