Dual Enrollment Online Class and Community Launch

A new Dual Enrollment online class and a Dual Enrollment Community have launched in the Vision Resource Center to assist professionals working in or interested in supporting this program. 
 
Dual enrollment programs provide students the unique opportunity to enroll in community college courses and allow students to earn credits toward both a high school diploma and a college degree. Participation can assist students in preparing for the rigors of college coursework and have been shown to improve graduation rates. On average, dual enrollment students demonstrate a 7% increase in high-school graduation, a 15% increase in college enrollment and a 25% increase in subsequent college graduation as compared to students who are not in a dual enrollment program, according to the combined results of five studies of dual enrollment that met the highly rigorous design standards of the Institute for Education Science’s What Works Clearinghouse.   
 
The Dual Enrollment online class reviews the different models and target populations of the program including College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP), Non-CCAP, Middle College High School and programs for adult learners. Also included are brief overviews of the legislation related to dual enrollment and additional resources supporting effective program implementation. In addition, the Vision Resource Center also offers the Supporting Students Through Dual Enrollment online class, which is part of the New Directors Learning Series. 

The Dual Enrollment Community is a space to collaborate, continue conversations, share promising practices and resources and receive the latest updates on dual enrollment. The questions sparked in the online class, or at the upcoming 9th Annual California Coalition of Early and Middle College Dual Enrollment Summit in September, can be answered in the community for a more holistic learning experience.
