Texas Pathways Institutes
South Texas College has participated in a series of institutes that assist community colleges to design and implement clear, structured student pathways to high quality credentials that are aligned to high school endorsements, university transfer, and jobs with value in the labor market.
Each Texas Pathways Institute is two and a half days in length focused on a critical aspect of institutional change and pathway design and implementation, each required advance work by the colleges, and each resulted in products developed by the participating college teams, including action plans. The institute format combines discussions with experts, technical assistance, and facilitated discussion and planning sessions for college teams.
