Four Rising Stars: a New Cadre of Teachers

On a drizzly winter day, four recent UW undergraduate transfers munched on pupusas and talked about their planned journey from Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) to the UW.

The pipeline, a joint program between SCCC and UW, transfers SCCC students into UW as upperclass undergraduates and streams them into the College of Education’s Master in Education teaching program. The goal is to provide bright youth with the necessary support and resources for long-term careers as teachers. This supported pathway effort is a part of the College of Education’s recruitment efforts to truly represent the Seattle community.
