Although the MSTC is embedded in Fort Sam Houston ISD, support services and resources are available to Wounded Warrior families
residing in other school districts
Common Core State Standards and MSTCs The MSTC is knowledgeable about the adoption and imple-mentation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and how the implementation of the Standards will impact mo-bile students. MSTCs can assist parents and students as they transition in or leave a district to understand the im-pact the standards will have on a student’s academic pro-gram. The MSTCs can also provide resources to ensure the student is reaching the goals articulated in the CCSS. The Military Child Education Coalition® (MCEC®) is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, world-wide organization. A model of positive leadership and advocacy, the MCEC is focused on ensuring quality educational opportunities for all military-connected children affected by mobility, family separation, and transition. The MCEC performs research, develops resources, conducts professional institutes and conferences, and publishes resources for all constituencies.

The MCEC’s Student 2 Student and Junior Student 2 Student are powerful student-led programs designed to help change a transitioning student’s focal point from what the student has lost to what the student will gain through the relocation. Believing that transitioning does not have to be diffi-cult, ‘just different’ S2S and JS2S programs are de-signed to help new students in 3 areas: academics,
relationships and finding the way.

The Military Student Transition Consultant (MSTC) Program is an opportunity for the Fort Sam Houston Independent School District to partner with the Military Child Education Coalition as we augment the services of installation-based School Liaison Officers in support of our nation’s military children. The MSTC works with military families to maximize the academic, artistic, athletic, and social skills of mili-tary students. The MSTC is here to assist families with questions and/or issues as they arise in transi-tion, deployment, and relocation. Your MSTC plays a pivotal role to establish collaboration among school systems/local education agencies, public and pri-vate youth services, community groups, and instal-lation-based resources.
