The session will provide a unique overview of the dual enrollment landscape, particularly as it relates to the needs of dual enrollment (DE) high school students in their secondary settings and through the lens of opportunities and challenges for OER implementation. Session presenters represent the community-led GoOpen National Network, ISKME and partner, College in High School Alliance, under Foresight Law + Policy. Together they are collaborating around advancing understanding of practices and policies focused on supporting DE high school student equity and success. This includes potential leadership roles for DE high school instructors and high school librarians to take on around OER to support their students, and in addition, state policy support for dual enrollment OER. A facilitated discussion will follow to share thoughts and questions, e.g. on potential ways to support K-12 and Higher Ed collaboration in DE and ways to advance OER to equitably support students.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Describe barriers encountered and supports needed nationally for high school students to participate and succeed in the dual enrollment landscape
- Describe unique contributions that high school dual enrollment instructors and high school librarians can make to support their students in the dual enrollment landscape
- Understand barriers to undertaking an OER leadership role for high school librarians and instructors and explore potential solutions
