Trinity Valley Community College Director of Dual Credit Kelley Townsend and Pinnacle early College High School Principal Dr. Cathy Kirkland will be featured presenters at the North Texas Community College Consortium (NTCCC)’s 2017 Dual Credit Conference, April 12 at Collin College in McKinney.
“We will present Tag Teaming Teens,” said Townsend. “Early College High Schools are typically found in urban areas…we are a rural community with an extremely successful ECHS collaboration, which benefits our students and ensures well-rounded individuals.”
“This presentation will provide details on the overall collaboration and scope of a successful rural ECHS collaboration,” she continued. “We will provide information and strategies on how to incorporate extra-curricular activities and workforce programs into an ECHS environment for successful students. In addition, we will provide an outline of how successful, positive communication and collaboration is key to the success of ECHS, but also dual credit partnerships.”
