Once ‘programs of privilege,’ dual enrollment pathways at community colleges are shifting to focus on a broader range of students and career options. “Some places are building dual enrollment into secondary CTE programs of study,” CCRC's John Fink said. “And in many other places that just isn’t happening very much. Their dual enrollment offerings are in the university-bound accelerated academic track.”

An excellent article on building high school dual-enrollment programs, and how these programs are changing the way today’s students find their individual career paths. Dual-enrollment is a win-win for the student, their families, and American industry. Our Secondary Education Coordinator Donna Smith, a retired physics and optics teacher, is working with community colleges around the country to train teachers and help build dual-enrollment programs for the optics and photonics industry. In the greater Rochester, NY-area, there are 22 high schools offering dual-enrollment programs in optics. Alexis Spilman Vogt, PhD, Endowed Chair & Professor of Optics at Monroe Community College and Executive Director of Workforce & Higher Education at AmeriCOM, said that 28 percent of students who are enrolled in the program this academic year took a dual-enrollment optics course while in high school. We need to build these programs nationwide and the optics industry can help! For more information, contact AmeriCOM. #Optics+Photonics #TheFutureIsOptics

Associate Vice President Driven by Student Academic Success, Wellness, & Career Readiness > Visionary Leader Building Academic Mission via Strategic Oversight & Leadership of Student Success Initiatives
This could be a real opportunity for my home state to design a college for the future: an entirely stackable curriculum with sealed credentialing throughout, skills and competencies outcomes throughout the curriculum, courses built from the ground up to be hybrid in delivery, courses whose content reflects the future of life and work, and high-impact practices infused throughout curricular and co-curricular life. How exciting. What I fear they will do is simply create a college that has the same old problems our current institutions have: expensive infrastructure, a four-year or fail credentialing model, entirely in-person delivery, and a curriculum built around faculty wants/interests.

THIS! I could not agree more and have been saying this for years! It's great for the colleges but not for students. Especially not for students who aren't wealthy. And, the amount of EA colleges has gone way down while ED just keeps going up so it just gets more and more obvious. Aren't we supposed to be decreasing the wealth gap? Sigh. #earlydecision #earlyaction #collegeadmissions #highlyselectivecolleges #ivyleague #collegeapplications #collegeapps #privilegewins
