We Need to Get Serious About Expanding Dual Enrollment for High School Students
May 7, 2021 | CalMatters

Dual enrollment enables students to take college courses while they are still in high school, which makes it more likely that they will graduate from high school and that they will also enroll and succeed in college.

But a new report finds that while more than 51,000 high school students in California participate in dual enrollment programs — 1 in 8  — the opportunity to do so is not currently available to most high school students.

Join us for a webinar with several experts including Michal Kurlaender, chair of education policy in the UC Davis School of Education, PACE Faculty Director, and co-author of the report on dual enrollment, to learn more about the potential of this practice in California and what needs to be done to make this opportunity more available to all students in California.

Moderated by:

  • Louis Freedberg, EdSource executive director.
  • John Fensterwald, EdSource editor-at-large

This webinar is brought to you by Wheelhouse, The Center for Community College Leadership and Research; Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) and EdSource.
