61.026 - The Productive Tensions of Dual Credit: Reenvisioning Dual Credit Instruction, Postsecondary Readiness, and Success

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

How can the blurred boundaries created by dual credit participation push us to rethink postsecondary innovation, access, and success? This session will invite consideration of this question as three papers are presented: Paper 1 uses a risk and resilience framework to look at the impact of dual credit on student success in a large university system. Paper 2 will present findings from a qualitative study of student’s perspectives on the relationship between their dual credit experiences and later college experiences. Paper 3 will explore the relationship between course performance and aspirations of students in an innovative dual credit program. Following this, the audience will be invited to discuss the implications for sustaining high-quality and equitable dual credit programs.
