Two Birds With One Stone? An Examination of the Effectiveness and the Implementation of Dual-Credit Education Programs

Sat, April 14, 10:35am to 12:05pm, New York Marriott Marquis, Floor: Fifth Floor, Westside Ballroom Salon 1

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session examines the effectiveness of dual-credit education on improving student outcomes, and investigates challenges that instructors and administrators face in delivering DC program in a time of changing student needs. The four papers examine: (a) the impacts of dual-credit programs and early college high schools on academic achievement and efficient college completion; (b) advising practices of dual-credit guidance counselors; and (c) the instructional challenges of meeting college and high school academic standards. Through a variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, this symposium contributes to evidence and discourse on efforts that aim to bridge the divide between K-12 and postsecondary education and make public education more equitable.
