The 5th Mini, held June 7, 2023 brought together college readiness representatives from K-12 and higher education to share their practices around PLA and create transparency and alignment among the various education levels. This provided our students with clear vertical and horizontal learning and career pathways, and enabled all student support staff to easily guide and support the students with their learning and career goals. TSIA2 and CLEP refreshers and Q&As were delivered by local college readiness staff from various institutions, with a notable session on helping students refresh their TSIA 2 essay skills prior to taking the test for successful outcomes.
