Professional Development Opportunity
Are you exploring data metrics for equity in your dual and concurrent enrollment programs? If you are looking for ideas, or ways to enhance your efforts, consider attending the College in High School Programs & Data: Reporting and Using Dual Enrollment Data webinar hosted by CHSA and the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) on November 2, 2021 at 2:00 PM. Click here to register.
Webinar Description: College in high school programs—such as dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, and early college high school—provide significant benefits to students, including increased rates of college access and success. To support increased college access and success for students through dual enrollment, states, school districts, and colleges must collect, publicly report, and use data on participation and success in these opportunities.
To coincide with the release of a new report which will be published the same day, please join the College in High School Alliance and the Data Quality Campaign, along with representatives from states profiled in the report, for a webinar to discuss the importance of data as a strategy for expanding equity of access and success to these proven programs.
Virtual Professional Development via YouTube
Did you miss the Dual Enrollment: Accelerating Educational Attainment Virtual Conference hosted September 23-24, 2021? The conference committee has released a YouTube link with conference recordings. If you are interested, please consider creating a professional development day for yourself and enjoying these sessions. Click here to access.
Comprehensive Database
By recommendation of our SIG Member Mr. Akima Rogers, we have created a document to serve as a comprehensive database of our institutional directives for our early middle college programs. As time permits, you can contribute to this document by:
- Adding your institutional information,
- Sharing with colleagues who can add institutional information,
- Adding additional columns to expand the depth of this database,
- Save this database as a bookmark and return to it, and
- Outreach to colleagues for more information.
Creating this comprehensive database will efficiently access our program features, benchmark efforts and allow for a specific engagement between one another where applicable. Feel free to utilize multiple lines to delineate different programs for your institution. Please be mindful to not delete or modify other institutions' information. The priority completion date is November 3, 2021. Access here.
From The BluePrint to Kirwin 2.0
Since our inception, we have had numerous conversations about the newly released Kirwin Report. How are conversations going with your leadership? Feel free to share updates at our meeting. The recent release of the Maryland Association of Community College's In A Crab Shell shares the history of the Kirwin Report and some highlights.
