In this session, the Community College Research Center (CCRC) reviewed research on the equity potential of dual enrollment and presented a research-based framework for reform called—‘dual enrollment equity pathways’ or DEEP—that addresses issues of access to dual enrollment for underserved students, offers strategies for college/K12 partnerships to address inequities in their programs, and outlines mindset shifts required to better support dual enrollment students. To illustrate the DEEP framework, leaders from K12/college dual enrollment partnerships with exceptional student outcomes detailed how dual enrollment can be transformed from ‘programs of privilege’ and ‘random acts’ to purposeful models that aim to broaden access and increase quality in college coursework aligned to postsecondary degrees in fields of interest to students.
