A college completion idea that’s so simple. Why aren’t we doing it?<\/strong> <\/a>— from huffingtonpost.com by Brad Phillips<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This week’s White House “College Opportunity” summit<\/a> will focus on an overlooked area with enormous potential for student success: K-12 and higher education working together to improve college completion.<\/strong> <\/span>It sounds so simple and obvious. In fact many assume it’s already happening. After all both groups of educators share the same students, just at different points in their education careers. Why wouldn’t they share information about students and coordinate efforts to help students be successful?<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The process of closely analyzing high school to college data is eye opening for both K-12 and college educators. Faculty discover that while they both may be calling a subject Algebra or English, what is taught and assigned can be very different, setting up students for a struggle.<\/p>\n

In Southern California, high school teachers and college faculty members participating in English Curriculum Alignment Project (ECAP)<\/a> shared years of transcript information Examining student performance over time, educators learned that what was taught in High School English did not align with what was expected in college English.<\/p>\n

\nI’ll take that one step further and say that we need stronger continuums between K-12, higher ed, and the corporate\/business world.\u00a0 We need more efforts, conversations, mechanisms, tools, communities of practice, and platforms to collaborate with each other.\u00a0 That’s what I try to at least scratch the surface on via this Learning Ecosystems<\/em> blog — i.e., touching upon areas that involve the worlds of K-12, higher ed, and the corporate\/business world. We need more collaborations\/conversations along these lines.<\/span><\/p>\n
