Students Stick Around for Two Years of College at Innovative Brooklyn High School
Inform students about a new trend in education: higher education in high school. At Pathways in Technology Early College High School in Brooklyn, New York, students are expected to attend for six years, earning both a high school diploma and a two-year Associate’s degree. P-TECH, and other schools based on the same model, aim to give students from low-income families a head start on college with free, career-oriented coursework. For further background and materials to support student understanding of the issue, see the Teacher’s Guide, Student Handout, and Informational Text.
