A Policymaker’s Guide to Early College Designs: Expanding a Strategy for Achieving College Readiness for All
Jobs for the Future (JFF) created this report to help policymakers make informed decisions as they plan for and implement early college designs. It outlines what it would take to systematize and scale up early college course taking, extending the benefits to all high school students, secondary schools, and colleges across the country. The report also features North Carolina's work -- including efforts by the NC New Schools Project -- as a leader in the implementation of early college high schools.
Other highlights from the report:
- Must have a focus on the core designs of effective ECHS --simply calling a school an early college is insufficient.
- Clear design elements focused on college credit acquisition for high needs children are essential.
- Early college targets first-generation college-going students -- it is not intended as a way to accelerate middle class students.22 OCT 2010
