Program History & 3 Core Values

Program Core #1: Planning: Prior to the start of our program, SBCC administration met extensively with high school administrators and faculty to build relationships and create a plan that would be a “WIN” for everyone, especially students and their parents.

Program Core #2: Service: The Dual Enrollment Program has been built with the philosophy that SBCC will bring college classes to each high school to provide access.

Program Core #3: Collaboration: Building and sustaining relationships is our #1 priority in program management.

SBCC Dual Enrollment Program Details: 1. We offer college classes on-site at our local high school campuses, before school, during the day and after school. This is in addition to K12 students taking classes on the main SBCC campus. For the purposes of this session, we will just be discussing Dual Enrollment classes taught at the high school campuses. 2. Classes at high school sites are offered in 15 academic and 16 career technical disciplines, with more than 100 classes each semester (credit is awarded on an SBCC transcript that semester). 3. Our enrollment is between 2,500 and 3,000 (non-duplicative headcount) per year (fall and spring only).

Program Staffing Structure:

SBCC Program Staff 1 Dean (oversees multiple programs at SBCC) 1 Coordinator 1 Program Advisor (CTE Transitions Funding) 2 Part-time Support Staff (SB70 Grant) HS Full-time Instructors (SBCC Adjunct Faculty) 36

Paid by the HS District, but must meet the college Minimum Qualifications to teach at SBCC = SBCC no-pay adjunct faculty

ROP Instructors (SBCC Adjunct Faculty) 7

Paid by ROP, but must meet the MQs to teach at SBCC = SBCC no-pay adjunct faculty

SBCC Full/Part-time instructors (teaching

• ff campus at the HS)

7

Some paid by SBCC, but not the HS District or ROP. NOTE: Current budget issues are creating unique arrangements wherein SBCC pays instructor but is reimbursed by the district at the end of the semester (from principals‟ discretionary funds). = SBCC paid full-time faculty or part-time adjunct faculty

Curriculum and Instruction: 1. Each instructor must meet the CCC Minimum Qualifications to teach (approved by SBCC Department Chair, SBCC EVP & SBCC Board). 2. Each instructor must cover the SBCC approved course

• utline.

3. Each class must meet/exceed the SBCC required instructional minutes. 4. Each class must use an approved SBCC textbook (or Moodle Instruction). 5. Students must meet any required pre-requisites or assessment standards. 6. Each instructor is evaluated on the same schedule as all SBCC adjunct faculty by the SBCC department.

California Dual Enrollment Legislation

• Senate Bill 292
• Ed. Code, section 76300
• Senate Bill 338

Senate Bill 292 (1996):

• School districts can

claim full ADA for dually enrolled students as long as they are enrolled in and attend high school for 240 minutes a day. HS ADA & College FTE:

• SBCC requires that each

student be enrolled in HS only classes for 240 minutes per day (~ 4 or 5 periods per day), anything above that can be Dual Enrollment and claimed by SBCC.

Education Code 76300:

• The governing board of

a community college district may exempt special part-time (high school) students from enrollment fees. Enrollment Fees:

• SBCC does not charge

fees when college classes are taken on the high school site as long as the student is a California resident.

Senate Bill 338 (2003)/Ed Code 76001: 1. A CC may admit special part-time (fees may be waived, up to 11 units) and full- time students (fees can not be waived). 2. Class open to the general public, if on the high school campus it must be during a time that the campus is open to the public. 3. Class is advertised, if only on web then advertised 30 days prior to the start of class. 4. A CC may restrict admissions/enrollment by: age, grade level and demonstrated eligibility such as assessment. 5. Principal approval and parent approval is required. SBCC Guidelines

• SBCC waives all fees for part-time

students taking the class on the high school campus, but not for 12 or more units.

• We have an MOU with our local high

school districts and have a process by which we contact the regular SBCC students that have enrolled. Are classes are coded off-campus with the high school location (e.g., DPHS, SBHS, etc.).

• We advertise our classes 30 days prior to

the time they start.

• Some of our classes are restricted such as

math or English that require placement into the correct level in order to be enrolled in the class. We also adhere to pre-requisites for foreign language classes.

• We secure principal/counselor, parent and

student signatures to enroll.

Progression of Education Model (PEM)

• Academic Year 2010/11: SBCC Transfer Task Force

– Development of Progression of Education Model and “backward mapping” approach

• Summer 2011: Summer Bridge Programs

– Two high schools, college visits, introduction to dual enrollment

• Fall 2011: Expansion of DEFT course in all four local

comprehensive high schools

• End of Fall 2011: College credit awarded to 489

students

• In development: Follow-up curriculum for 10th, 11th &

12th grades

Curriculum: Career Choices

• Exploration of three careers of interest
• Budget building
• Creation of online 10 year plan
• Career Technical Education link
• College planning information
• Personal development

Career Choices Relates to Career Pathways & Academies

• Career Choices informs students about pathways available at

their school

• Dual Enrollment offers classes in all local academies
• Dual Enrollment works closely with all academy directors
• Participation in industry-based advisory meetings
• SB70 Grant sponsors professional development activities

DEFT Course & the Link to Community College Courses

• Four year vision with Career Choices “touch

point” Dual Enrollment Courses in 10th -12th grade

• Integration into College Transfer Initiative,

President Obama‟s plan, and SBCC local vision

Dual Enrollment Freshmen Transition Course

Potential Pitfalls:

• 9th graders understanding what it means to be enrolled in a

college course

• Instructors teaching with college rigor
• Struggling student issues
• Funding for textbooks and consumable workbooks
• Logistics of implementing the online 10-Year-Plan
• Touch points (from the college perspective) of connecting with

students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades

• The need for a point person at the college and the high school

for frequent interaction

Dual Enrollment Freshmen Transition Course

Potential Pitfalls (con’t):

• Finding the appropriate college department can be tricky
• Most community colleges would choose to “house” the course

in their Personal Development department, which requires a Master‟s Degree in Counseling

• SBCC has a “Professional Development” department, which

requires a Bachelor‟s Degree. In order to be acceptable to all parties at the College, no psychometrics (Myers Briggs, etc.) could be included in the course

Benefits to all Stakeholders:

• Students: Student-centered/whole person approach, self-

identified goals which lead to informed choices and higher student engagement

• Parents: Engaged children, free/reduced cost for college

courses, demystifying the college-going process

• Secondary school: Change in school climate/culture,

reduced dropout/suspension rates, higher student engagement, informed students help chart their own course, school-wide access to students‟ 10-Year-Plans

Benefits to all Stakeholders:

• Post-Secondary Institution: College/career informed

students, reduced need for remediation, students entering with a declared major, students on track to completion/transfer

• Community: Partnerships with schools, students prepared

for the workforce, contributing members of society

Review & Group Discussion

• Issues of concern
• Why a college or high school might find it difficult to develop

a Dual Enrollment program

• Current budget concerns and their impact on Dual Enrollment
• Do you have other questions?
