K12 Partnerships Institute:
Dual Enrollment, Early College & Equity

Register today for the 2022 ATD K12 Partnerships Institute being held June 2830, 2022.

The K12 Partnerships Institute is a venue for colleges and school districts to explore a strategic approach to the full breadth of their K12/postsecondary partnerships to increase access and equity in dual enrollment and early college programs.

College and K12 districts will spotlight innovative strategies for college readiness, focused outreach, and supportive, aligned pathways to achieve postsecondary enrollment and attainment goals.

Aiming to deliver on the transformative promise of dual enrollment and early college, the K12 Partnerships Institute will feature engaging content aligned to five themes:

Equitable Access: Creating interest in college programs, increasing readiness, and reducing barriers to participation for underrepresented students

Deepening Partnerships: Aligning institutional priorities, sharing resources, combining professional development, and collaborating on program design

Holistic Student Supports: Fostering a sense of belonging while addressing students' material and academic needs

High Quality Program Design: Innovation driven by using data and continuous improvement to ensure students earn credits and credentials leading to economic mobility and communities increase credential attainment rates

CTE/Career Pathways: Designing focused programs which provide dual enrollment/early college students hands-on experiences and access to applied learning facilities while building workforce readiness in locally relevant pathways

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the Institute, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the relationship between equity and increased impact of college, K12, and community-based partnerships
  • Identify barriers to equity in their current K12/college/workforce partnerships and implement strategies that enhance equitable practice
  • Explore partnership strategies that enhance equitable access while increasing K12 enrollment in college courses and maximizing student success

Who should attend?
This event is designed to support individuals or teams of K12, college, and workforce leaders, faculty, and staff working in dual and concurrent enrollment, early college, college bridge programs, college readiness, and aligned CTE programs.
