Increase of Science Test Scores

A new partnership has flourished thanks to Jackie Whitt, Cobb County Performance Learning Center® (PLC) principal and Dr. Army Lester at Kennesaw State University. PLCs provide an alternative learning environment for high school kids who are not succeeding in the traditional school setting. The goal of the new the science program is to improve students critical thinking skills and provide realistic information regarding science careers. The curriculum is aligned with the states high school science curriculum. PLC students are engaged in hands-on learning experiences in the area of science with laboratory experiments conducted by college students. This program helped me understand some of the components involved with science and Im sure I will increase my test scores as a result. I have also become interested in attending Kennesaw State and majoring in science, said Raven Greer, PLC student.
