About this Course
Transitioning into higher education can be very challenging for students. To ease this transition and assist in “filling the gaps”, some states now mandate dual enrollment courses be offered at every High School. What challenges does this present for college faculty and program directors, and how can thriving relationships with High Schools be developed? This program assembles leading instructors and directors of both secondary and postsecondary courses, to share their techniques for successful dual credit programs.
Topics:
• El Paso’s Mission Early College High School
• Skills for Work programs working successfully overseas
• Reaching minority and low-income youths
• Helping struggling high school students by sending them to college
