Enhancing PCC 1 Curriculum
We now have enough students who are college-ready to open up a 3rd section of EDUC 1300 and we are only in October. We have 31 additional students who’ve passed half of the TSI. Them passing would us push into 4 sections of EDUC 1300, totaling around 80 students from Cohort 2029 on an Associate's Degree track. This would be a first for the ECHS & P-TECH programs since their creation!
