| How Federal Funding Helps High School Students Get a Jump on College |
|
At a time when postsecondary completion rates are low and higher education debt is high, districts can turn to programs that help students get a jump on college. These programs go by many names that you may recognize – dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, or early college high school – but at their core they enable high school students to experience college courses and gain credits that apply toward a recognized college degree or postsecondary credential.

| TODAY! Improving Educational Experiences for Diverse Learners: Valuing Culture While Combating Stress, Inequality, Bias, and Discrimination |
 When students enter school, they don't leave part of themselves at the door. Instead, students walk into class carrying their cultural and community values with them. They bring pressures of social expectations and continue to feel the influence of poverty, prejudice, and inequity. These out-of-school influences and environmental factors play significant roles in adolescents' mindsets about learning, their motivation to learn, and their behaviors in schools.
