This past month, we were very pleased to announce our first state-wide conference, to be hosted in June by Region 10 in Dallas.  In this newsletter, we are including more details about this exciting event.  

We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a great opportunity to build relationships with fellow educators and hear from leading experts in college readiness. We’ve met so many of you on webinars, and our team is really looking forward to the opportunity to meet with you in person!

SAVE THE DATE — Join us on Monday, June 5 for the first Texas College Bridge statewide conference, hosted by Region 10 in Dallas, and open to administrators, instructors, counselors, technologists, and support staff from participating ISDs and partner colleges and universities.

This one-day event will feature Texas College Bridge success stories and implementation best practices, from effective program recruitment to using real-time data to increase program completion. Additionally, the convening will spotlight how secondary-postsecondary partnerships are improving educational equity and student outcomes. Professional development credit will be awarded to summit attendees.

Registration details will be provided soon. Complete the form below to receive updates.

Do not miss out on this opportunity to hear from champions in the field and build relationships with fellow educators. Seats are limited.

One of the questions that we often receive is if Texas College Bridge courses should be offered to students in the 11th grade. 

The answer, in short, is that this decision is up to our partners, but to fully understand the situation in regard to 11th graders and TxCB we wanted to provide some additional background:

The Texas Education Code states that the course must be designed for students at the 12th grade level; however, it doesn’t limit what grade levels the course may be offered. It is a local decision between the ISD and the IHE regarding the grade level for which you will offer the courses.

In other words, 11th graders are permitted to use the Texas College Bridge program if the district chooses to offer it to them and if the student meets all other requirements (such as being identified as not meeting college or career readiness standards).
