Collective Impact Although rare [] successful examples of collective impact are addressing social issues that, like education, require many different players to change their behavior in order to solve a complex problem. (Source: Collective Impact, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2011)

The Complex Problem The Complex Problem: A skills gap, unemployment + unfilled jobs Remediation crisis, high non-completion rates

Project goal and strategy GOAL: develop pathways that prepare students for further education and rewarding employment STRATEGY: regional and local teams, with crosscutting support

High school completion or higher Less than high school completion Bachelors or higher degree Percentage of persons 25 through 29, by highest level of educational attainment: Selected years, 1940 through 2010 Year Percent

Built when a HS diploma could get you a good job Not aligned to real labor market demand Lacks adequate support for transition to college Students arrive and end up in remediation It doesnt do enough to help students set goals Does not reflect the new priorities of K12 education

Integrates academic and career themed curriculum Strengthens opportunities for college credit in HS That incorporates work and project based learning Provides early matriculation and advising Defines students as shared customers Allows students to ID many options for work or continuing education

K12 / Community College / K14 Pathways High School pathways -- defined Community College pathways defined K-14 pathways the innovation

Student Transitions K-12 Post Secondary High Quality Career Pathways Better Jobs & Lives CCSS & CTE Integration, Early College Credit Integrated Counseling Services Improved Academic Placement

Introduction Dr. Diane Hollems Dean of Education Programs

Overview of this Presentation Why Dual Enrollment (vs. Articulation)? Benefits to stakeholders SBCC Dual Enrollment Program core values Outcome data Relationships with Secondary Schools

Why Dual Enrollment? We found that everything covered in the traditional CTE articulation meeting could be mirrored in doing a SBCC/high school articulation meeting. This covers both general education courses and CTE.

Program History & 3 Core Values

California Dual Enrollment Legislation Senate Bill 292 Ed. Code, section 76300 Senate Bill 338

Senate Bill 292 (1996): School districts can claim full ADA for dually enrolled students as long as they are enrolled in and attend high school for 240 minutes a day. HS ADA & College FTE: SBCC requires that each student be enrolled in HS only classes for 240 minutes per day (~ 4 or 5 periods per day), anything above that can be Dual Enrollment and claimed by SBCC.

Senate Bill 338 (2003)/Ed Code 76001: 1.A CC may admit special part-time (fees may be waived, up to 11 units) and full- time students (fees can not be waived). 2.Class open to the general public, if on the high school campus it must be during a time that the campus is open to the public. 3.Class is advertised, if only on web then advertised 30 days prior to the start of class. 4.A CC may restrict admissions/enrollment by: age, grade level and demonstrated eligibility such as assessment. 5.Principal approval and parent approval is required. SBCC Guidelines SBCC waives all fees for part-time students taking the class on the high school campus, but not for 12 or more units. We have an MOU with our local high school districts and have a process by which we contact the regular SBCC students that have enrolled. Are classes are coded off-campus with the high school location (e.g., DPHS, SBHS, etc.). We advertise our classes 30 days prior to the time they start. Some of our classes are restricted such as math or English that require placement into the correct level in order to be enrolled in the class. We also adhere to pre-requisites for foreign language classes. We secure principal/counselor, parent and student signatures to enroll.

Program Core #1: Planning: Prior to the start of our program, SBCC administration met extensively with high school administrators and faculty to build relationships and create a plan that would be a WIN for everyone, especially students and their parents.

Program Core #2: Service: The Dual Enrollment Program has been built with the philosophy that SBCC will bring college classes to each high school to provide access.

Program Core #3: Collaboration: Building and sustaining relationships is our #1 priority in program management.

Benefits to all Stakeholders: Post-Secondary Institution: Students generate a transcript Students stay on pathway FTEs are collected on students enrolled in the DE section Secondary school: Change in school climate/culture Students head start on career pathway Students motivated to take more Dual Enrollment and/or AP classes Students generate a college transcript Parents: Substantial savings on the students college education Demystifying the college process

SBCC Dual Enrollment Program Details: 1.We offer college classes on-site at our local high school campuses, before school, during the day and after school. This is in addition to K12 students taking classes on the main SBCC campus. For the purposes of this presentation, we will just be discussing Dual Enrollment classes taught at the high school campuses. 2.Classes at high school sites are offered in 15 academic and 16 career technical disciplines, with more than 100 classes each semester (credit is awarded on an SBCC transcript that semester). 3.Our enrollment is between 2,500 and 3,000 (non-duplicative headcount) per year (fall and spring only).

Outcome Data Former dual enrollment students* who matriculate to SBCC: Are more likely to enroll full-time in college (67% compared to 54%) Require less remediation and placed at the college transfer level course at a higher rate than their direct entry peers (Math: 26.4% compared to 18%; Reading: 25.9% compared to 9.9%; Writing: 34.8% compared to 14.6%) Earn a higher average cumulative GPA (after three academic years, 2.47 vs. 2.02) Earn more transferable college units (after three years, 43 vs. 29) *Note: Sample was comprised of 764 first-time college students who graduated from a local service-area high school in spring 2008 and matriculated to SBCC in fall 2008

Shift from voc ed to CTE 1917 federal law defined voc ed as prep for occupations not requiring a bachelors or advanced degree By the 1980s tracking students into programs that did not give them the option of going to college was increasingly seen as unfair and inefficient Federal law started to require integration of vocational and academic education, renamed voc ed as CTE in 2006

Dilemma for high schools: Most students in first year of high school expect to complete a college degree or more (72% of those who gave an answer; 56% of whole sample) but only about 1/3 of 25-29 year olds have bachelors degrees, and that number is growing very slowly.

College & career pathways Postsecondary education should be an option for all who want it More focused and engaging curriculum, with work-based learning, motivates students to learn and graduate Students gain work-related skills to help support them through college, or to enter labor market without degree

Research has found benefits during high school Compared with similar students at the same high schools, career academy students show more improvement in attendance, grades, credits earned, and are more likely to stay in high school

and after high school Maxwell study found academy students more likely to finish bachelors degree MDRC random-assignment study found positive effects on earnings 8 years after high school, with no reduction in postsecondary educational attainment Source: Career Academies, a Proven Strategy to Prepare High School Students for College and Careers http://casn.berkeley.edu/resources.php?r=158&c=1
