“There is strong evidence that DE—even à la carte DE—improves academic outcomes for students, including completing high school, enrolling in college, and completing college degrees.[21] And DE has been shown to benefit low-income students,[22] Black and Hispanic students[23][24][25], and students who initially struggled academically in high school.[26]” These results alone are worth investing in dual enrollment! #dualenrollment #reachingstrugglingstudents #studentsuccess

Thanks for this clear, succinct resource on the evidence for dual enrollment. So useful.

If you are interested in attending College of the Atlantic in the fall, Early Action is a great way to get a jump on the college admissions process—it’s nonbinding, and simply applying to college early and receiving an early response. It functions like Regular Decision in that you have until May 1, the national decision deadline, to choose which college you will attend, but EA can allow you to hear from your top schools first and then decide whether you want to submit any regular decision applications later. coa.edu/admissions/apply

🚨Just in!   Get the latest insights on student engagement & attendance straight from Jane Hargreaves, Student Engagement Manager at Kingston University London. Since 2017, KUL has used SEAtS as their centralised system to monitor attendance and engagement university-wide. The system has since played a critical role in understanding student behavior and supporting their academic progress. Key findings: 📣 60% of disengaged students advance in their academic journey after being contacted. 👩🎓 About 150 students were removed annually due to non-engagement. 📲 Each academic year, they reach out to approximately 3000 students with low engagement.

I thought this was a nice write-up from Jane Swift, former Governor of Massachusetts, on the link between work - and who works - and student attrition, and what we can do about it. Additional connections to make beyond the article is you can, at the Clearinghouse website in their completing college reports, review NSC 6-year grad rate data to see that students who enroll exclusively full-time, whether at two- or four-year colleges, graduate at triple-to-five-times the rate of those who attend exclusively part-time --- gaps that are larger, and in fact predictive, of others, especially by race and the age bin of 20-24. As the piece here from Higher Ed Dive notes, attrition is particularly correlated with working 20 and, especialy, 28 hours per week (note, more than a third of cc students work 40+ hrs.) The bottom-line is that time is the enemy of college completion - which can be attacked in student success reforms like coreq remediation, dual enrollment, academic planning, and more, and in affordability and basic needs policy work. https://lnkd.in/gZTk2HZF (Note - Jane Swift was a great speaker at our Complete College America Annual Convening last year in Vegas.
