Southeast Texas P-16 Council

Kids Kollege was a great success, thanks to a sizeable and hard workinging team.

The new issue of the Southeast Texas P-16 Council Newsletter gives some insight into the team that made it happen, as well as some of the things we learned to make it better next time. In total 230 students attended the event held at Lamar University and Lamar Institute of Technology. Lamar State College-Orange and Lamar State College-Port Arthur also participated in the event by sending faculty.

The event focused on bringing hands-on, participatory learning to students in 7th and 8th grade as they start to focus on careers and what courses they will take in high school.

Also in the newsletter are stories on:

• 21rst Century Skills — a new project of the Southeast Texas P-16 Council to make students safer and smarter in their internet pursuits.
• New ideas on making the newsletter tie in better to the web site and makingthe experience more interactive.
• A look back and education in 2010 and a look forward at the future.

 We have added new Spanish versions of our September and July newsletters on the Southeast Texas P-16 site.
