Re: [HAPS-L] A&P dual enrollment

[Pam Langley <plangley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I confess that I'm supposed to be working on a draft of a HAPS position 
statement based on the conversation a group of us had at the last annual 
meeting. Part of the "position" relates directly to student readiness 
and part of it relates to implementation processes, since there has been 
quite a variety of issues surrounding how administrators have put these 
programs in place (i.e., dual enrollment programs in general, not just 
A&P) without having the appropriate conversations with those responsible 
for the integrity of the college credit (i.e., the teaching faculty and 
the academic VP...).

I guess this means I should dig out my notes....
