About this episode

2011 Baccalaureate Level Example of Excelencia - STEP 2 (Successful Transition to Educator Preparation)is a student support services program that assists transfer students from South Plains College that have completed their Associates of Arts in Teaching at South Plains College and desire to obtain their certification to teach from a 4-year institution. STEP 1 is to complete the AAT (Associate of Arts in Teaching). STEP 2 is to transfer to Texas Tech University. The partnership between South Plains College and Texas Tech College of Education began in 2005 with the first cohort of transfer students. As has been well documented, Latinos that begin college at a community college are highly unlikely to complete the 2 year program and even less likely to matriculate to a 4-year institution. STEP 2 assists transfer students from South Plains College (who have completed their Associates of Arts in Teaching) with completing their teaching certification to teach and completing their four-year degree at Texas Tech University.
