The Toolbox Reconstructed: High School Curriculum Intensity and Postsecondary Outcomes
Mon, April 12, 2:50 to 3:50pm EDT (2:50 to 3:50pm EDT), Division L, Division L - Section 3 Roundtable SessionsAbstract
High school course-taking is a crucial part of education policy and has long been a focus for policy reform. There are various approaches to measuring the intensity of students’ course-taking. This study shows that new measures of curriculum intensity that are easy to construct and applicable to other setting can be created. We used these new indices to provides a current description of high school coursetaking and its relationship to postsecondary outcomes using a nationally representative dataset, the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). Results showed that coursetaking gap still exists for students from disadvantaged backgrounds including students with low socioeconomic status, minority students as well as SWD and ELL students.
