EARLY COLLEGE STRATEGY

• Opportunity provides a faster paced curriculum that is more rigorous and relevant than ever before for high school students with a smoother college transition and motivating long‐term career goals (Fowler & Luna, 2009).  

• Opportunities for high school students to earn up to an associate’s degreewhile in high school.  This is done by combining the four years of high school with the first two years of college into a total of five years (Edmunds et al., 2010).  

• Students are considered fulltime high school studentsby MDE throughout the five years of the EC program if they maintain the required status for the full FTE (MDE, 2014).

Books & Materials – depends on your strategy, you must supply early college books but do not have to supply dual students (checkouts?)Transportation – school is not responsible (online, on/off campus, CTE)Advisors and Academic Services – college generally covers all these costs, but this depends on your strategy

MOTIVATION FACTOR FOR SOCIAL CHANGE 

• The early college initiative has increased because of the increase in student performance due to an increase in students’ motivation to successfully earn up to a college degree at no cost/minimal costs to the student (Howley, Howley, Howley, & Duncan, 2013). 

• The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Jobs for the Future, have created over 280 early colleges, serving more than 80,000 students across the US (Jobs for the Future, 2014).  

• The programs were initially designed to close performance gaps for at‐risk students.  From 2002 to 2013, 61% of these students were at‐risk; qualified for free or reduced price meal status and/or were first generation college students (DiMaria, 2013).

EDUCATION PAY: STUDENT, SCHOOL, SOCIETY

• Communities and society as a whole are suffering with unemployment rates, weak economies, and increased poverty (Shierholz & Gould, 2012).  

• According to the United States Department of Labor, unemployment rates in Michigan slightly decreased in 2013 and 2014, but the rate was still at a 6.7% as of March 2014, with 2.2 million stating they wanted and were looking for work, 698,000 workers stating they were no longer looking for a job, and 7.4% part‐time workers due to cut backs or inability to find full‐time work (2014).  

• The United States Department of Labor showed the 2013 employment status for people with less than a high school diploma was the highest at 10.4%, high school graduates at 7.2%, some college at 6.3%, and at least a bachelor’s degree was the lowest at 3.5% (2014).

AT RISK AND DROPOUTS: PIPE‐LINE TO??

• Moreover, early college programs are designed to impact at‐risk students the most, with such factors such as low social‐economic status, high absenteeism, low parental education, and low grade point averages (Vargas, 2013). 

• At‐risk students could be most affected with lifelong income because they also have the highest risk of dropping out of high school, which also means they cost society the most due to welfare, health care, prison costs, etc (Burrus & Roberts, 2012).

• Dropouts revealed the bleakest annual income at approximately $20,000 on average and even less for people under 35 years of age or over 65 years of age (US Census Bureau, 2012).

THE NUMBERS: EDUCATION AND INCOME

Mean income increases with the more education a person has which also means society benefits.  The mean yearly income in 2009 • for a non‐graduate was $20,241, • for a person with a high school diploma it was $30,627, • with some college it was $32,295, • with an associate’s degree it was $39,771, • and with a bachelor’s degree it was $ 56,665 (US Census Bureau, 2012).

People with a high school diploma earned almost $10,000 more over the course of a year than a dropout and almost $20,000 more for a person with an associate’s degree.  That is a difference of approximately $540,000 for a person working to the age of fifty.

CURRENT STATE OF EDUCATION

Across the United States, public education is facing a crisis with numerous critics providing extremely disturbing data on post‐secondary educational obtainment (Rath, Rock, & Laferriere, 2013; Vargas, 2013; Vargas & Miller, 

2011).  • According to the US Census Bureau in 2011, • 12% of the US population had less than a high school diploma, • 31% had a high school diploma, • 26% had some college or an associate’s degree, • 19% had a bachelor’s degree, • 8% had a master’s degree, • and 3% had a professional or doctorate degree (2012).  In today’s competitive world, having more than 43% of the population with no college education means almost half of our current population are more likely to live below the poverty level.

WHY EARLY COLLEGE?Let’s face it, the data shows that many of our reform issues are not working. Are your students successful, moving into careers, and benefiting society? 

Educational reformers are in turbulence with a variety of intense debates over numerous current school improvement topics (Beabout, 2012).  Some of these reform initiatives include implementing the Common Core State Standards, assessing with Smarter Balance, SAT, & M‐STEP, implementation of rigorous educator evaluations, and/or increasing access to a more rigorous and relevant curriculum; in some cases this includes the implementation of early college programs (Zubrzycki, 2013).  Drastically increased accountability and mandated data reporting in the education field makes it paramount for educational leaders to move forward with reform initiatives that are data‐driven and research supported to provide a strong impact on student success (King & Rohmer‐Hirt, 2011). 

Is what you are doing working for all your students to be successful longterm?

WHO IS AT‐RISK IN YOUR SCHOOL?

Education is currently scrutinized for not effectively reaching all students; including academically at‐risk, first generation college students, students of poverty, and both genders equally in all subjects (Thompson, 2011).  

First generation college students do not always have the knowledge, networks, and motivational support to pursue a college education (Ishitani, 2006).

Students of poverty do not have the financial means or knowledge of available resources to pay for an expensive college education (Quillian, 2014).   

At‐risk students with attendance issues, low grade point averages, and numerous behavior infractions have large gaps in academic performance (Rush & Vitale, 1994). 

Schools need to close the gap for ALL students, including those that are at‐risk, and allow the opportunity for all students to earn a college education (Mumpher, 2003).

WHY CHANGE?

• Academic Success – individual and district• Unemployment Rate• Opportunity for ALL ‐ gaps• Increase Income• Society Benefits• Undoubtedly, there is a need for educational reform initiatives and accountability; therefore, what is your school doing to tackle this issue?

ASSOCIATES DEGREE PRIOR TO A DIPLOMA

• See next slide on how our students are earning 60 plus credits and have the opportunity to earn their degree prior to earning their diploma.

• We also have students working towards their college certifications.

• All this planning must happen early... Prior to high school, highly recommend starting as early as the elementary!

• Must create the college culture!• Must have high expectations!!• Must have student‐staff relations!!!

CONTRACTS

• We have a contract each year with Baker and MMCC to detail everything.  (See next slides if interested.)

• We also work with Ferris State University, Delta, and Central Michigan University, but only after our students have exhausted MMCC’s and Baker courses due to the high tuition costs…. student can use up their full FTE by law.  We pay the same costs as a traditional college student would at FSU, Delta, and CMU, but FSU and CMU are experimenting with early college program partnerships.
