ACTE PACE Summit 2024

Career dual enrollment is an invaluable opportunity for high school students, and maximizing options for students requires collaboration and commitment of all stakeholders. Participants in this session will learn how a large urban school district has dramatically expanded career dual enrollment opportunities for high school students, by not only offering dual enrollment on technical college campuses, but also on campuses of our large comprehensive high schools.
In this session, we will explore the following topics:
• Program delivery models
• The process used to identify program offerings aligned with local workforce needs
• Developing a multi-year plan for implementation and growth
• Student scheduling model development
• Teacher support, including district-wide PLCs
• Administrative support and supervision
• Curriculum support
• Business partner engagement
• Overcoming funding challenges
• Incentivizing student participation in summer school
• Encouraging students to return to the technical college after graduation when needed to complete their program
