Tech Prep Leadership Institute Date Set

I know that you have been anxiously waiting and we have finally done it. We are setting the date for the Tech Prep Leadership Institute on November 7th and 8th. This institute is open to all Oklahoma Tech Prep coordinators and we will be preparing for the 5 year grant. Mark your calendar and reserve the date.

We have the date set, however we have not set a location. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to email it to me. This will be one of the rare meetings that requires an overnight stay so the location needs lodging and room for 30-40 people. I will let you know the location as soon as it is reserved, I can't wait to get your suggestions.

College Credit Now!!

How will taking Alliance courses help me? An article published today tells how Oklahoma is leading the way by ensuring that credit earned at community colleges is transferable to 4 year institutions.

"Report: Oklahoma Making Community College Transfers Easier"Oklahoma is making it easier for students to transfer from community colleges to universities, according to a Southern Regional Education Board report. Oklahoma guarantees that students earning associate's degrees can transfer in as juniors to public four-year colleges in the state. Each year, faculty revise transfer guides that list courses that will transfer. Ease in transferring has helped Oklahoma increase overall graduation rates during the past decade, said a state education official. Still, less than half of first-time, full-time students graduate with a bachelor's degree within six years. Daily Ardmoreite

Great news, but much work still exists. Oklahoma Tech Prep will continue to lead the way through providing seamless transitions and opening doors to high-skill, high-wage and high-demand careers for Oklahoma students.
