Description

What are the goals, practices, policies, and outcomes of programs that enroll high school students in college courses for college credit?

This volume examines:

Dual enrollment programs and how they operate
Their impact—based on quantitative and qualitative studies—on student achievement and institutional practices
How they support a student’s transition to—and success in—college
The role of higher education in improving K–12 education

Chapters explore successful models that both build off dual enrollment’s philosophy of school-college partnerships and embrace a more robust framework for supporting college transition.

Andrea Venezia, former Senior Research Associate for the Regional Educational Laboratory West at WestEd, cowrote a key chapter.
