Quality Resources for Students & Faculty
Pacific Crest has carved out a unique niche as a publisher in higher education. Different from traditional publishers who concentrate on curricula designed for traditional methods of instruction, Pacific Crest is guided by the philosophy of Process Education
™ with its emphasis on learner self-development and the continuous development of learning skills.Our main focus is the
success of first-year college students. We know that many students struggle
without the necessary learning skills or t
he
means to improve upon the skill base they bring to college. It is imperative
that a strong foundation is built during students' first year to ensure their
future success. Starting with Foundations of Learning, used in first-year
experience courses, Pacific Crest offers a series of curricula that seek to
improve students’ learning and self-assessment skills along with their ability
to learn course content.
We also offer resources for faculty interested in improving their teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum design skills.
