Educational Equity and Dual Enrollment

Norton has made a commitment to ensuring that our books and resources are inclusive and promote equity-minded teaching. We are especially keen to support instructors and students in dual enrollment courses (also called dual credit, concurrent enrollment, etc). To help us realize these goals, we’d value your input and advice.

Question Title

* 6. To what extent is achieving equitable student outcomes a goal of your institution's dual enrollment program? What kinds of support do instructors already receive to create inclusive and equity-minded learning environments?

Question Title

* 7. What is the biggest challenges when teaching students who are dual-enrolled?

Dual-enrolled students don’t have the content knowledge they should be expected to have at the college level.

Dual-enrolled students need more support with college-level reading, writing, critical thinking, and study skills.

Dual-enrolled students need support for understanding the resources they can use to help them through college-level courses. (Understanding instructor office hours, how to access writing labs, etc.)
