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



Right. The original message asked about "dual enrollment," which means that the students receive credit toward both the high school diploma and the college degree. As you have seen from the many responses, this can take several forms. The students could simply come to the college and join the college students in a class being taught by a college professor. I don't think too many folks have a problem with that model as long as the high school students meet the course prerequisites and there is no pressure to dilute course objectives for these students.

The more problematic model is having high school teachers teach A&P in the high school to high school students only. The problems typically come with how this model is implemented relative to high school teacher qualifications to teach A&P, student readiness to take college-level A&P, and sufficient communication between and among the high school teachers/administration and the college department/faculty/administration to ensure the integrity of the college credit. As you might guess, the implementation of this model is highly variable, especially from state to state, and often depends on the level of political pressure at all levels.

The proposed position statement would, if I can construct it properly, address all these issues and make suggestions regarding what we as an organization feel is optimal with regard to student learning and academic integrity.

If I can get spring classes off to a good start and get my dental woes resolved, I will try to get to doing the draft soon. It really should not take me too long. I can draft policy-speak with the best of them!

”Is there a HAPS position on dual enrollment (high school students enrolled
in college classes)? High schools in our area would like to teach A&P at
the high schools and award those high school students college credit for
taking A&P. “
