Book Synopsis Dual-credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State by : Ashley Birkeland
Download or read book Dual-credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State written by Ashley Birkeland and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-credit has become a prominent topic in education as states look for additional opportunities to prepare students to succeed in college. Research has shown that students who earn college credit in high school are more likely to enroll in college. In Washington, there is currently a policy in place to increase enrollment in dual-credit courses. In addition, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has given states more flexibility in how they are held accountable and Washington is one of the states that adopted dual-credit participation as an accountability measure. This study is informed by the results of a previous pilot study and includes all six dual-credit programs offered in Washington state. The six programs are AP, Cambridge, College in the High School, IB, Running Start and Tech Prep. Both descriptive and predictive approaches are taken to answer the questions 1) who has access and participates in different dual-credit programs, and 2) does dual-credit participation predict high school graduation and college enrollment after controlling for demographics and GPA? The results of this study provide a more nuanced picture of dual-credit access in Washington when only basic statistics at the state level have been produced thus far. Tech Prep has the highest participation rate, and Cambridge the lowest. Students from outside the greater Puget Sound area have access to fewer dual-credit options and have lower participation rates. Students from smaller districts are also less likely to participate in dual-credit but have higher participation in Running Start compared to larger districts. Results from the predictive Hierarchical Linear Models show that AP, Running Start and College in the High School are all significant predictors of any college enrollment. Running Start participation is associated with an increased probability of any college enrollment for underrepresented minority students and College in the High School participation is associated with an increased probability of any college enrollment for students who are English language learners. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.
Book Synopsis Dual Credit Programs and Their Impacts on Students and Community Colleges in the State of Washington by : Narek Daniyelyan

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnerships between secondary and post-secondary institutions that allow high school students to earn college credit have become an important aspect of the American education system. These dual credit programs may help reduce the cost of college and the time it takes to complete a college degree. In the state of Washington, the enactment of ESSHB 1546 solidified dual credit programs as a legitimate piece of the state's education system. Policymakers advocate for dual credit programs as a means of introducing historically non-dominant populations to college (Taylor, 2015; Tobolowsky, 2016). For many post-secondary institutions, especially community colleges, this is enough reason to establish and offer dual credit programs. From a student success perspective, there are few demographic comparisons on who is utilizing these programs. From an institutional success perspective, there is limited information about whether students are using these programs as a stepping-stone to a 4-year university without completing a degree at the community college. This study is a quantitative evaluation of the impacts of dual credit programs on Washington community colleges and its students. The purpose is to assess relationships that may exist between dual credit programs and community college completion rates. The findings suggest that overall, dual credit programs have positive outcomes for both students and institutions. However, outcomes are not equitable among different demographics. These findings may lead to the consideration of additional or revised questions and further research, which may examine if anything were missing from current legislation.

Book Synopsis On the Fast Track: Understanding the Opportunities and Challenges of Dual Credit: ASHE Higher Education Report, Volume 42, Number 3 by : Barbara F. Tobolowsky
Download or read book On the Fast Track: Understanding the Opportunities and Challenges of Dual Credit: ASHE Higher Education Report, Volume 42, Number 3 written by Barbara F. Tobolowsky and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dual-credit curricular initiative offers high school students the opportunity to earn college and high school credits simultaneously without taking a standardized test to acquire the credit. The courses are purported to introduce students to a more rigorous curriculum in high school and save them time and money in their pursuit of college degrees. Dual credit programs have grown rapidly, and this monograph provides a synthesis of: • the scholarly literature on dual credit offered at high school and a variety of postsecondary settings; • underrepresented students’ experiences with the course(s), and • suggestions for future research and drivers that will influence its development. Originally, these initiatives focused on high-achieving students, but additional models have emerged that expand the benefits to lower- and middle-achieving students as well. This is the third issue of the 42nd volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book Synopsis Access and Success for System Goals for People of Color in Washington Community and Technical Colleges by : Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, Olympia
Download or read book Access and Success for System Goals for People of Color in Washington Community and Technical Colleges written by Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, Olympia and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to provide information for readers, promote discussion, and set the stage for future initiatives to address outcomes for people of color. The data provided speaks to the success that Washington's community and technical colleges have achieved in increasing higher education access and participation for students of color. It also reveals work to be done to improve student of color attainment and transition rates across the system. These challenges offer an important opportunity to work in innovative ways to support more successful outcomes for students of color. A review of the indicators suggest colleges are providing equitable access to the two-year system for students of color in general. Enrollment in college-level courses is also above parity for all groups except Latinos/Hispanics, but for these students too the news related to participation rates is promising, with the percent who are enrolling at college level increasing faster than state population growth. Adult Basic Education (ABE) is the largest single entry point into community colleges for students of color and non-English speakers, most of whom attend as adults for employment-related reasons. Within workforce education, results for students overall are promising. About eight out of 10 workforce students who progress beyond one quarter (15 credits) of training will eventually exit deemed "prepared for work," with little difference in outcomes between any student groups. However on the margins, Latino/Hispanic, Black/African American and Native American students are a little more likely to leave early (with fewer than 15 credits), and when they progress beyond the 15 credit mark, they are still a little less likely to complete credentials or longer training. Progress rates in ABE are lower for Latinos/Hispanics and Native American students than for other students. Too many students stop out after ABE coursework and do not transition into college-level programs. Fewer Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic and Native American students who start out exploring transfer options end up solidly on the pathway, and their rates for becoming transfer-ready are lower than for white and Asian/Pacific Islander students. Finally, faculty and staff are less diverse than the state population, and Washington's employment of diverse faculty and staff is below the national average of 19.3 percent. Considering the increasing diversity of Washington State, all students, not just those of color, will need to learn multicultural skills to support their success in life. More work is needed to recruit and retain faculty and exempt staff of color, to ultimately support the needs of all students. (Contains 5 tables.).

Download or read book Missing Data written by Paul D. Allison and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2001-08-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sooner or later anyone who does statistical analysis runs into problems with missing data in which information for some variables is missing for some cases. Why is this a problem? Because most statistical methods presume that every case has information on all the variables to be included in the analysis. Using numerous examples and practical tips, this book offers a nontechnical explanation of the standard methods for missing data (such as listwise or casewise deletion) as well as two newer (and, better) methods, maximum likelihood and multiple imputation. Anyone who has been relying on ad-hoc methods that are statistically inefficient or biased will find this book a welcome and accessible solution to their problems with handling missing data.

Book Synopsis Dual Credit Report by : Noreen Light
Download or read book Dual Credit Report written by Noreen Light and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, legislation to improve access to dual-credit programs and to reduce disparities in access and completion--particularly for low income and underrepresented students--was enacted. The new law focused on expanding access to College in the High School but acknowledged issues in other dual-credit programs and reinforced the notion that cost should not present a barrier in selecting the most appropriate dual-credit option for the individual student. The legislation also requires the Council to report on dual-credit programs and recommend additional improvements to improve access and completion. To improve access and quality, education sector partners have collaborated to: (1) Create and adopt rules to ensure quality standards are rigorous and consistently applied in College in the High School; (2) Develop and implement policies to increase consistency in acceptance of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) scores; and (3) Improve communication tools to support students considering dual-credit options. Though there has been some progress in increasing access to dual credit, differences in participation and completion by race, ethnicity, and income continue to persist. The report provides recommendations for further action to address these disparities. Five appendices are included: (1) Dual Credit Comparison Chart; (2) Public Baccalaureate Sector Resources; (3) Community and Technical College Resources; (4) Washington 45 and Open Education Resources; and (5) Independent Colleges of Washington Advanced Placement Scores Chart.
