    How a Personal Pan Pizza Motivated a Generation to Read and Why It Still Matters

    A free pizza for finishing a book may seem simple, but it was part of a larger effort to spark reading at a time when literacy was a growing national concern. Corey Alderdice, a national voice on talent and transformation, reflects on Pizza Hut’s Book It! program, blending personal memories with a deeper look at how novelty, joy, and clear incentives can motivate students—especially in an era where attention is increasingly shaped by screens.

    College Before College (Part 3): The Blurring Line Between High School and College

    As more students complete college-level coursework during high school, the traditional boundary between secondary education and higher education is beginning to blur. And that raises a much bigger question than simply how many credits students can earn before graduation. Corey Alderdice, a national voice on talent and transformation, explores how acceleration is reshaping the purpose of college itself, why efficiency alone cannot define the educational experience, and how dual enrollment can either compress education into a transactional race or create greater freedom for students to explore, grow, and discover who they are becoming. Learn more about the current landscape of college-level learning in high school in the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnership's report Beyond Rigor: Closing the Quality Gap in State Dual Enrollment Policy.
