Welcome Dear Conference Attendees, I am energized by the breadth and scope of the presentations at this conference. Looking through the schedule makes me feel like I am in my favorite restaurant, presented with a menu of tempting and tantalizing dishes to consume. The session descriptions are replete with words such as “opportunity,” “partnership,” “alignment,” “access,” “outcomes,” “quality,” “trends,” “readiness,” advocacy,” “seamless,” “research,” “persistence,” “evaluation,” “collaboration,” and “success.” All of these terms speak to the core of concurrent enrollment: high-quality, transferable college courses that launch high school students into postsecondary accomplishment. In addition to attending the more formal presentations, you will have many opportunities for one-onone sharing of strategies, advice, opinions, tips and success stories. Strike up a hallway conversation, or introduce yourself to someone you don’t know—these types of “chat snack” opportunities often yield just the information you need to enhance expertise or solve an issue. The NACEP annual conference is the place for you to gain knowledge that will help you, your students, and your concurrent enrollment program succeed. So don’t waste a morsel of this conference—dig into it like a gourmand in Paris. (And, if no one’s looking, why not lick the plate, too?) That’s the way to make this a memorable conference. I look forward to seeing you at the table, and extending a personal welcome!

Lynn Burbank NACEP President Director of Continuing Education Programs, University of Minnesota Duluth

Keynote Speaker: Dr. David T. Conley

Dr. Conley is Professor of Educational Policy and Leadership in the College of Education, University of Oregon. He is the founder and director of the Center for Educational Policy Research (CEPR) at the University of Oregon, and founder and chief executive officer of the Educational Policy Improvement Center, a 501(c)3 not for profit educational research organization. CEPR and EPIC conduct research on issues related to college readiness, college and high school course content analysis, high school college alignment and transition, and large scale diagnosis and assessment of college readiness. Dr. Conley serves on numerous technical and advisory panels, consults with educational agencies nationally and internationally, and is a frequent speaker at national and regional meetings of education professionals and policymakers. In 2003, Dr. Conley completed Standards for Success, a groundbreaking three year research project to identify the knowledge and skills necessary for college readiness. This project, funded by the Washington, D.C based Association of American Universities (AAU) and The Pew Charitable Trusts, analyzed course content at a range of American research universities to develop the Knowledge and Skills for University Success standards. In 2005, Dr. Conley published his research from this project in College Knowledge: What It Takes for Students to Succeed and What We Can Do to Get Them Ready. Since 1996, Dr. Conley has received over $28 million in grants and contracts from federal and state governments, national education organizations, and foundations to conduct research on a range of educational policy issues. He has published the results of this research and other studies in numerous journal articles, technical reports, conference papers, book chapters, and books, including Who Governs Our Schools?, which analyzes changes in educational policy and governance structures at the federal, state, and local levels. Dr. Conley's most recent book, College and Career Ready: Helping All Students Succeed Beyond High School, which features case profiles of America's most college ready high schools, informs policy makers, administrators, teachers, parents, and students how they can develop a culture rooted in postsecondary success. Dr. Conley received a BA with honors in Social Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. He earned his master's degree in Social, Multicultural, and Bilingual Foundations of Education and his doctoral degree in Curriculum, Administration, and Supervision at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Before joining the faculty of the University of Oregon in 1989, he spent a total of 20 years in Colorado and California as a school level and central office administrator in several districts, an executive in a state education department, and as a teacher in two public multicultural alternative schools.

Plenary Session Speakers

Congressman Joe Courtney Congressman Joe Courtney was elected in 2006 to represent the Second Congressional District of Connecticut in the House of Representatives. He serves on the Armed Services and Agriculture Committees. Congressman Courtney’s Work on Key Educational Issues: Improving Access to Higher Education. In order to make higher education a reality for more middle class families, Courtney worked to pass the College Cost Reduction Act. This landmark legislation marked the largest single investment in higher education since the first G. I. Bill was passed during World War II. This legislation helps make college more affordable for middle class families by increasing Pell Grants for students while also reducing the interest rate for student loans.

Increasing Federal Support for Elementary and Secondary Education. Courtney is committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to a quality education. To that end, he has worked to enact increased funding for school assistance programs like Title I and IDEA. Supporting Head Start. Courtney helped pass the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act, which expanded the Head Start program and increased federal support for children and their families. Additionally, this legislation established additional benchmarks to improve each child’s skills with regards to basic skill sets in language, literacy and math. Investing in our Nation’s Competitiveness. As a member of the Congressional Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Caucus, Courtney fought to improve science, technology, engineering and math opportunities in public schools. In addition, he supported the America COMPETES Act which ensures that students, teachers, businesses and workers are prepared to lead the world in innovation, research and technology.

Dr. Sherri Miller Dr. Sherri Miller is Assistant Vice President, Development at ACT, Inc. She has spent over 25 years managing, coordinating and supervising activities related to test development, statewide administration, alignment to standards, and instructional support for ACT’s programs which include EXPLORE (8th and 9th grade), PLAN (10th grade), the ACT (11th and 12th grade), and QualityCore. Dr. Miller’s duties also include researching and designing specifications for new programs, constructing and documenting test instruments; and planning and conducting research on assessment programs and related testing and measurement problems. Dr. Miller obtained her master’s and doctorate degrees in educational measurement and statistics from the University of Nebraska.

Keynote The Continuum of College and Career Readiness: Creating Successful Transitions to Postsecondary Education

David Conley, Professor of Educational Policy and Leadership in the College of Education, Founder and Director of the Center for Educational Policy Research (ECPR) at the University of Oregon

This session will focus on college and career readiness as a continuum and not a cut score or set of required courses. The session will consider a range of course types and programs that bridge the gap between high school and college. The session will examine what makes a student college ready and what makes a course or program “college-like.” What would a high school look like that was organized around a continuum of college and career readiness and not just a set of courses that met college entrance requirements?

Having an Identity Problem? Define Your CEP with Research!

Sponsored by Northwest Nazarene University

Brian Boecherer, Associate Director, UConn Early College Experience, University of Connecticut Concurrent enrollment is in desperate need of a public understanding and broad identity. NACEP is the vehicle that has and will increase that understanding for a strong future; however, institutions must first identify their own program identities through research (quantitative and qualitative data) to help this broader movement. For the last few years UConn Early College Experience has run the numbers to understand its own impact and has identified how and in what capacity we support student achievement and benefit the University. This presentation will encourage the investigation of key identity characteristics, which speak to program constituents and a larger CE identity.

Transforming the 20th Century High School: How Reform Models & Innovative Schools Use Concurrent Enrollment

David Dresslar, Executive Director, Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning, & Janet Boyle, Assistant Director, University of Indianapolis

High schools are continually challenged to create engaging 21st-century learning environments, increase the rigor and relevance of their curriculum, raise graduation rates, and increase the numbers of students who are truly prepared for college. Created in 2001, the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL) at the University of Indianapolis has been instrumental in the creation or transformation of over 60 innovative high schools across Indiana. This session will highlight how innovative schools and national high school reform models leverage concurrent enrollment courses to improve high school graduation rates and college access and success.

13th Grade: Early Colleges Provide an Opportunity for Catching Up & Moving Ahead

Cecilia Cunningham, Director, Middle College National Consortium & Chery Wagonlander, Director, Michigan Middle Early College Association A gap year for students entering a four year college is becoming increasingly popular. With admission deferred it gives the young person an opportunity to mature and become better able to handle the cultural shift from high school to college. For poor students the 13th year at an early college can provide the same opportunity. In this combined last year of high school and first year of college students earn dual credit, get a head start on college for free and mature with the assistance of their high school teachers. The presenters will share the way the 13th year is used in Middle College National Consortium schools with a focus on the state of Michigan. 15

Collegial Mentoring

Laurie Wolfley, Maritime Studies and American Studies Coordinator & Jill Thorne, Director, UConn Early College Experience, University of Connecticut As universities embark upon hosting concurrent enrollment high school courses, we must recognize our responsibility to foster a strong, supportive mentoring relationship with our high school teachers. This session outlines some common differences between college and high school syllabi, assignments, classroom discussions, research methods, note-taking strategies, and general expectations. It suggests ways that we, as the university course coordinators, can create a collegial mentoring relationship that helps bridge these differences, encourage and support our teachers, and respond to their unique needs.

The Effect of Participation in CEP vs. AP on Student Persistence at Syracuse University Kal Srinivas, IDDE Doctoral Student, Syracuse University Project Advance

This study examines if student participation in Concurrent Enrollment Programs (CEP) and/or Advanced Placement (AP) in high school has a significant effect on the first two years of college persistence, controlling for demographic, financial need, and pre-college entry student characteristics. The sample consists of 24,164 observations of institutional data from undergraduates at Syracuse University from fall 1997 to fall 2008. AP participation, number of credits from CEP courses, gender, race/ethnicity, and financial need all have significant effects on the likelihood of persisting in college during the first two years. This study uses multiple regression analysis with logit estimations.

Total Instructional Alignment: PK-16 Seamless Education Susan Jenkins, Interim Assistant Dean, Idaho State University

Total Instructional Alignment (TIA) is a process proven to be a key strategy in creating high achieving classrooms and schools. TIA is comprehensive, from state standards, to curriculum, through instruction and assessment. Concurrent enrolled programs are a pivotal component. Ultimately, the goal is seamless PK-16 education. A foundational piece of the process is the unpacking of state standards (and now the new Common Core State Standards), also called “task analysis.” Qualitative and quantitative data indicating increased student achievement and “annual yearly progress” as prescribed by the NCLB will be shared.

Reaching a Wider Audience through Career and Technical Education Courses

Victoria Zeppelin, Associate Director, CollegeNow, Tompkins Cortland Community College Many concurrent enrollment programs focus on traditional liberal arts courses, such as English and math. These disciplines are not only areas that overlap with Advanced Placement opportunities, but they also tend to target only the academic "high achievers" within a school. Come learn about how our college has attempted to reach students "in the middle" by expanding opportunities for college coursework to include career and technical education courses, such as business, communications, and STEM.

Online Application and Registration

Rebecca Rothey, Concurrent Enrollment Office Manager & Ryan Burton, Director of Admissions, Utah Valley University Learn how Utah Valley University manages the admission and registration of over 6,000 high school students with very limited resources. UVU uses the Banner online admissions application and registration. Making the transition to the online admissions applications has streamlined the enrollment process and allowed students to do a majority of the work. Our online registration system allows only high school concurrent enrollment students to register for high school concurrent enrollment courses. The entire implementation took less than one year and has been operational since 2006. 95% of the students complete the registration process via the online registration and 100% complete the entire process before the end of the third week of school.

Using the Hybrid Model for Course Delivery and Instructor Collaboration

Polly Buckingham, Faculty Director of Concurrent Enrollment for English, Eastern Washington University This session will examine innovative uses of technology to 1) teach concurrent enrollment courses 2) enhance collaboration among instructors at Eastern Washington University and in the high schools. I have created a hybrid CEP course with faculty support and collaboration built into the Blackboard site. The one unexpected outcome of the hybrid course and concurrent enrollment practices is the ways in which they have significantly impacted curriculum alignment of the on campus courses. The discussion will focus on creative uses of technology in Concurrent Enrollment not for technology's sake but to solve real problems: budget cuts, accessibility, curricular alignment, and instructor isolationism.

Early College Designs: Pathways for Achieving College and Career Readiness for All

Jason Quiara, Senior Project Manager for State Policy Development and Advocacy, Jobs for the Future

Early college designs adapt dual enrollment as a school-wide strategy; unlike traditional dual enrollment programs, their primary focus is the underprepared student, rather than the high achiever. The goal is to support low-income high school students who, without significant assistance, may lack the skills and knowledge to enter and persist through college. After years of extra academic support, early college students start taking postsecondary courses in high school, resulting in dual credit—all tuition free. The goal of this presentation is to educate participants about the promise of early college designs to serve as a powerful impetus for integrating high school and postsecondary education into a continuous system spanning grades 9 through 16.

Since 1959, ACT has provided college and career readiness solutions that are based on strong evidence. ACT’s College Readiness Standards and College Readiness Benchmarks were derived from the actual performances of students rather than opinion or anecdote. ACT’s College Readiness assessment programs are based on data from our National Curriculum Survey and our On Course for Success research study. Results from our research define the skills and knowledge students need to be ready for college-level courses and identify the rigorous instruction needed to help them attain those skills. ACT’s research was a key resource in developing the Common Core State Standards. ACT’s research answers several questions about college readiness, but most importantly it provides information on what schools can do to ensure that more of their students get on target—and stay on target—for success in their post-high school endeavors.
