The S.I.N. of Dual Credit: Strategies, Innovation, and Negative Perceptions Presented by: Dr. Shasta Buchanan, Associate Vice President of College & High School Relations Dr. Melissa Biegert, Director of Advising & Completion for High School Programs NASPA Annual Conference 2019

ACC’s College & High School Relations Division The role of College and High School Relations is to enable students to experience college and potential careers by enrolling in courses at Austin Community College (ACC) while still in high school. Our commitment to students is to provide guided access to college through quality instruction, support, and guidance to ensure academic success.

ACC Dual Credit ProgramsDual Credit. Partnership between higher education institutions and K-12 to partner and align high school courses to core curriculum college courses that will enable high school students to earn both high school credit and college credit simultaneously. Early College High School (ECHS). High School Designation through the State of Texas. Dual Credit partnership that enables high school students to earn an Associate’s Degree and High School Diploma simultaneously. P-TECH. Pathways in Technical Early College High school is a High School Designation through the State of Texas. This program is similar to an ECHS but includes an industry partner that will provide job shadowing, mentorship, internships, and a promise of an interview for employment post high school completion with an earned Associate Degree. ACC Career Academy. Partnership between ACC and K-12 to enable high school students interested in CTE/Workforce pathways to earn a college credential – Level I or Level II Certificate while earning their HS Diploma. Programs include internships or clinical rotations.

College & High School RelationsGoals & Strategies Goal I: Access & Enrollment College and High School Relations will increase access and enrollment of high school students into dual credit programs over the next three years by 5 % .Goal II: Retention & CompletionCollege and High School Relations will increase student success of high school students enrolled in college-credit programs over the next three years by 5%.Goal III: MatriculationCollege and High School Relations will increase successful matriculation to ACC, over the next three years by 5%.

Organizational Change. What do we do differently?

Need for Realignment More than 7,000 high school students take ACC courses each year, representing nearly 20 percent of the for-credit ACC student population. Previously, the division was organized by program – - regular Dual Credit (Jr./Sr.,), designed for limited course enrollments with university transferability - Early College High School (9th-12th, with goal of Associate degree completion) - Articulated credit (towards workforce certificate credit post-high school)Early College High School had highest representation of low-income, first generation, Hispanic and African American students. It also had the strongest student support system.

Analyzing Dual Credit at Your Institution Activity #1 - SWOT analysis: S trengths W eaknesses OpportunitiesThreatsActivity #2 - Assessing Rigor and College Readiness in Your Dual Credit ProgramActivity #3 - Data inclusionActivity #4 - Action Plan

BREAKING NEWS LIVE Evaluation & Assessment Process How often will reports on progress be made? How will success be defined? Budget How much will the action plan cost. The budget should include total and itemized projected costs. Responsibility Who will be held accountable for the action plan. This will include internal and external stakeholders. Activity What do you plan to complete? Timetable When will you start, what are the itemized tasks (with dates), and when will activity be completed? Action Plans. Plans of work for each of your key strategies. Each strategy must be supported by one or more specific activities necessary to successfully accomplish the strategy/objective. The activities, taken in total, comprise the action plan. This will be the most detailed and time-consuming part of the planning process. The action plans represent the “guts” of the plan. ~Ruffalo Noel-Levitz Action Plans for Dual Credit Programs
