Hixon Teacher Preparation Program
(TK-12)
Founded in 2000 at Pasadena City College, and as a result of a large donation by the late Alexander and Adelaide Hixon, the Hixon TPP was created in order to provide a support system for students pursuing a career in teaching.
The program provides both curricular and transfer information components for the prospective teacher and helps PCC students streamline the process to become a TK-12+ teacher and simultaneously achieve a bachelor degree and teaching credential upon transfer to a four-year institution.

Some of the many services the Hixon TPP provides students are:
- Hixon Resource Center for students to study, print, practice presentations, and much more (儿童发展 中心- 219)
- 转移 and teaching pathway information
- 学术深思熟虑
- CBEST test preparation and study sessions
- Education courses aimed at preparing equity-minded and effective classroom teachers, including EDUC 13 (Introduction to Elementary Teaching), EDUC 30 (Teaching as a Profession) 和其他人!
