  1. FINDINGS FROM THE 2006-7 INTEGRATED SURVEY December 3, 2007

  2. College-level Work in High School • Hypothesis:A“dose” of college credit in high school with supports will ensure that a wider range of students understand the demands of college and decide “I can do it.” • Theory of Change: By integrating grades 9-14, compressing the years to a credential, and removing some financial barriers to college, the state will increase the number of young people attaining the AA degree and the opportunity to earn the BA.

  3. Advantages of College-level Work in High School • Time to degree shortened • Families and (potentially) the state save money • Students get to try out college--best programs include time on a college campus • Students are motivated to work hard to earn free college credit • Learning is measured in multiple ways (except AP) Early data confirms that students respond to challenge more readily than to remediation

  4. What AreEarly College High Schools? • Early college high schools are: • Small schools encompassing grades 6,7-14 or 9-14 created through formal partnerships between secondary and postsecondary institutions. • Designed so students underrepresented in postsecondary can earn an Associate’s degree or two years of college credit while still in high school 6-12 schools= 7 years to AA (-2 years) 9-12 schools= 4-5 years to AA (-1or 2 years)

  28. Questions and Issues • How successful are early college high schools in serving students with significant educational deficits • Is there an “ideal” early college student? • Is the rate of student transfers out of early college more a product of new schools getting off the ground and will transfers decline over time? What are implications for student support?
