  3. Early College| Early College helps students earn college credit while still enrolled in high school Characteristics of Early College

  4. CTE Articulation Dual Credit Dual Enrollment CPS and CCC are forging a partnership around Early College focused on three related initiatives Benefits How it works Four Positives from Early College Initiatives High school students with college credit are more likely to persist and graduate. Early college students will not require remediation. CCC has a growing body of transfer agreements that could retain students. Early adoption of college placement testing (COMPASS) at CPS can identify college ready students and remedial needs prior to high school graduation. • HS students take a set of CPS courses which translate into specific CCC course credit • Requires enrollment at CCC • CPS students take CCC courses at their HS • Receive both HS and CCC credit • Currently free for students • CPS students take CCC courses at a CCC location • Receive CCC Credit • Currently free for students

  5. Earn Credit towards Certificates in: • Business • Culinary Arts • Medical Assisting • Construction • Early Childhood Education • Law & Public Safety • Broadcast Technology • Hospitality • Transportation & Logistics Articulated Programs| Career and technical education courses at CPS work together with CCC courses to produce more certificates • Business Academy 2 • (Grade 11) Articulation Agreements will be evaluated annually and revised based on industry partner input Example Pathway • Business Academy 1 • (Grade 10) • Accounting 2 • (Grade 12) • W!SE Financial Literacy Certification - NFTE CPS • Business 111 CCC • By starting CTE Certificates at CPS and completing at CCC, students will hit the workforce faster with employable skills

  6. Program Features • Gives students a chance to choose from a wide variety of courses • Open to all eligible students at CPS • CCC is donating 100 seats per college each semester at no charge to CPS or its students • Marketing and recruiting efforts underway at CPS hope to fill the majority of those seats for the summer and fall Dual Enrollment| With over 320 unique students currently enrolled, the overwhelming majority of them took English and Math Offers eligible students a true ‘college experience’ in a number of academic areas • Math • 56% took general education Math • English • 88% took first semester English

  7. Dual Enrollment| Harold Washington College drew nearly 100 students from 31 different high schools.

  8. Dual Enrollment|Increased internal and external collaboration has lead to more students participating in early college programs • Met with CCC advisors • Conducted counselor/coach survey • Counselor focus group (with CCC advisors) • Central office team brainstorm • Simplified Registration • Aligned on course offerings • Scheduled courses to coincide with high school schedule • Provided enrollment/grade info to schools • COMPASS testing at HS • Data sharing • CPS credit for course taking Fill All Available Seats

  9. Dual Credit| As part of the application process, a Dual Credit scorecard was designed to help schools identify if they are good candidates: • Qualified Teacher • Qualified Students • Weigh course options (AP vs DC)

  10. Dual Credit| By this fall we will have moved from one to 20CPS High Schools offering Dual Credit English and Math courses City College Offers college eligible students college credit without transportation burden CPS High School • 2010 - 2011 • Spring 2012 Fall 2012

  11. Data Sharing| A strong collaboration benefits from sharing information used to determine student placement and success. Though initially driven by the need to share data in order to award credit, creating sustainable data sharing infrastructure will enable CCC and CPS to better support student transitions and provide feedback to HS and college departments on program outcomes. CPS Data Secure Central Repository CCC Data CPS Data • GPA • ACT Scores • COMPASS Scores • Student grades • Student grades • COMPASS Scores • Placement decisions • Student progress Mutually Beneficial Decision Making

  12. Lessons Learned|Early College isn’t new to either institution, but the intentional and sustainable collaboration is new. • Respect boundary conditions for partner institutions. • Agree to share data early on in the collaboration. • Internal and external marketing for all early college programs. • Appoint a person at the high schools who is responsible for Dual Credit activities. • Identify criteria for schools to participate, process for selecting schools, and schedule for participation. • Clearly identify the metric for success. • Academic calendars and processes differ between institutions; start early.
