Tennessee Coaching Project
In fall 2022, Jackson State and Northeast State Community Colleges launched pilot projects to test two new models of student success coaching. These projects are known as the Tennessee Coaching Project. The first pilot project, supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES), provides targeted, career-focused support for recent high school graduates who are placed into learning support courses.
The second pilot project, supported by funding from Ascendium Education Group, provides tailored support for both new and returning adult learners (age 23+). In addition to coaching for adults, five faculty members at each pilot college will redesign their general education courses to adapt course policies, practices, teaching styles, and syllabi with an adult-friendly approach. The redesigned courses will be offered beginning in fall 2023.
