A recent budget workshop for TCC board trustees covered a number of projects and programs, including a proposed multi million Alliance Learning Center that would help prepare more workers for jobs in aviation, aerospace and logistics. (See the Star-Telegram's coverage.)
TCC appears focused on improving student success with efforts to add more programs to help students in developmental math, reading or writing. (See recent story about TCC's efforts to improve developmental math instruction.)
TCC administrators are requesting funding for student success efforts such as a mentoring program for Men of Color and establishing a Math Emporium and math boot camp at the Northwest Campus.
Trustees also got a glimpse of how classrooms may look in 2030 - a preview of an institutional plan that is in the works. Imagine CSI: Crime Scene Investigation meets English 101 with glass monitors that students touch to research online. Picture more open spaces that allow students to reshuffle tables, desks and chairs as they discuss lessons.
