College of Teacher Education and Leadership–Community College partnerships

The College of Teacher Education and Leadership at ASU’s West campus has three partnerships with community colleges and high school districts to mentor high school students interested in a teaching career. Students are identified in the junior year of high school and mentored through the junior and senior years, steered to the cooperating community college for two years and then to ASU’s West campus teacher preparation program to complete their bachelor degree in education. These are also called 2+2+2 programs.
