UNLOCKING POTENTIAL: A State Policy Roadmap for Equity & Quality in College in High School Programs
Unlocking Potential provides recommendations for
policies that advance the goals of equity and quality for
college in high school programs in six different categories:
1. Equity Goal & Public Reporting
2. Program Integrity & Credit Transfer
3. Finance
4. Course Access & Availability
5. Instructor Capacity
6. Navigational Supports
National data indicates there are big gaps in access to these programs by race, income status, and level of parental education. As these programs become more popular, states need to design policy systems that close equity gaps and promote high quality, to ensure the benefits of these programs are available for all.
