Reopening Washington Schools 2020: Dual Credit and Postsecondary Planning
Jeffries-Simmons, Tennille; Mahoney, Katherine
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
This guidance focuses on how school districts in Washington state can plan and respond to the challenges of the 2020-21 school year, specific to closing equity gaps in dual credit access and success and postsecondary transitions. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significant inequities inside of education systems that districts across the state have been fighting to close for years. In Washington, students of color, students from low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students who are English learners are more likely to be left out when it comes to dual credit and postsecondary enrollment. If districts take one step, it should be this: use disaggregated data to identify students furthest from educational justice and deploy tiered supports to increase dual credit access/success and postsecondary planning. Districts are not alone in this work. This guidance was developed collaboratively with community-based organizations across the state that are focused on these topics (particularly among Washington's most underserved students), as well as public and private postsecondary institutions. This document includes a high-level summary of the recommendations, a deeper dive into each of the recommendations paired with resources for K-12 educators, and appendices with additional contacts and tools.
