PATHWAY CONNECTION

The Discovering the Power of Data / Dual Enrollment project aims to enhance the integration of high school dual credit courses by systematically aligning college-level curricula with high school teaching through the development and approval of targeted courses such as Data Literacy, Introduction to Data Science, and Introductory Python Programming. The structured training for high school faculty ensures that instructors are well-equipped to teach these advanced subjects effectively.

Furthermore, ongoing coordination with high schools by dual credit team representatives from each college ensures that these courses are seamlessly incorporated into high school programs, allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. This strategic alignment not only enhances the academic offerings at the high school level but also accelerates students’ readiness for college education and future careers in data-driven fields.
