Examining the research on dual enrollment programs

Examining the research on dual enrollment programs


The Institute of Education Sciences has released an intervention report that summarizes research reviewed by the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) on how dual enrollment programs impact outcomes for high school students. These dual enrollment programs allow high school students to take college courses and earn college credits while still attending high school.

The WWC identified five studies of dual enrollment programs that fell within the scope of their review and met WWC research standards. Together, these studies included 77,249 high school students across the United States.
Based on the research reviewed, the WWC found the programs to have positive effects on degree attainment, college access and enrollment, credit accumulation, completing high school, and general academic achievement in high school. Additionally, potentially positive effects were found on staying in high school, college readiness, and attendance for high school students. According to the report, no discernible effects were found for general academic achievement in college.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
