South Georgia Technical College’s (SGTC) early childhood care and education (ECCE) program advisory committees met recently on the college’s Americus campus to discuss the current state of the program and the industry as a whole.
The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Tech faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the ECCE program. SGTC’s early childhood instructors, Jaye Cripe of the Americus campus and Lisa Penton of the Cordele campus, provided the committee with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities, and student news.
The advisory committee members provide information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new technology and methods, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
Members present at the advisory committee meeting included: Verneda Johnson of the Macon County Board of Education; Monica Warren of Crisp County Primary School; and Monica Jennings of the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. SGTC dean for academic affairs Dr. Andrea Oates also attended the meeting to provide an administrative update.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Tech instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
