  5. Phase II: THECB Transition Project • Phase 2: Purpose of study was to develop a deeper understanding of what college readiness entails, and how professional development based on The Texas College and Career Readiness Standardsmay be used to guide how programs bring students to college readiness and help students transition to and succeed in post secondary education.
