Crafton College Implements "Left Lane Program" to Bridge Student Gaps

Crafton College in the Victor Valley area is implementing a new "Left Lane Project" to assist high school students to transition more effectively to community college by helping them to create education plans, use tutors for subjects needing remediation, and participate in summer bridge programs, in return for giving successful students priority registration.  Other efforts include use of the K16 Bridge program at Victor Valley College (and Antelope Valley College's own  S-MAP [Senior Math Acceleration and Preparation] and counseling/matriculation project), all prior to a 2014 mandate for all California Community Colleges.  http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_22971027/community-colleges-work-help-students
