Twenty-four teachers from area high schools and MCC are implementing new teaching methods in their classrooms this fall to address barriers to college readiness and completion and to bridge the divide between K-12 and higher education.
For example, a few teachers are co-creating common assignments and assessments on student learning for their high school and college English writing classes while several others are developing interactive videos and incorporating other 21st-century tools to increase participation in their math classes.
The teachers are the first Fellows in the pioneering CCTE, aimed at establishing a regional knowledge base for improving student success across the K-20 continuum. Partners in this initiative include Rochester City School District, Rush-Henrietta Central School District, The College at Brockport, SUNY Geneseo, and St. John Fisher College.
