The Collaborative Process to Learn about Dual Credit in Washington state

* The Collaborative Process to Learn about Dual Credit in WA – presented by ERDC

* Using Data to Redesign Dual Credit Programs to Expand Opportunities – Panel discussion with UW Tacoma student Ashley Ramirez, Rep. Dave Paul, and Dr. Bish Paul

Over the last several years, the Washington State Education Research and Data Center (ERDC) has reported on dual credit/dual enrollment in Washington state based on requests from legislators, state agencies, researchers, local districts, and postsecondary institutions. Answering questions related to dual credit has been complicated, and ERDC has recently utilized a cross-sector workgroup to better understand the available data and guide this work.

In this webinar, we describe the workgroup process that ERDC uses and provide an overview of some of the key findings of the dual credit portfolio so far. Members of the Dual Credit Workgroup share their experience with this process and how the data it produces impacts their sectors, and we hear from a student about their experience with dual credit programs.

Moderated by League of Education Voters CEO Arik Korman.

What to Expect in the 2025 Legislative Session

During the 2025 Washington state legislative session, we must focus on community-driven solutions to support students and families who have been historically and systemically underserved – including students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education services and students with disabilities, students learning English, students who identify as LGBTQ+, students experiencing homelessness, and students impacted by trauma. Together, we can work to create the conditions for meaningful change and build better systems for the future of Washington students and families.

In this free webinar, League of Education Voters Chief Policy Officer Jacob Vela and government relations consultant Carey Morris, along with LEV partners, give an overview of the 2025 legislative landscape, outline our priorities for the 2025 legislative session, and answer your questions.

Spanish interpretation and captioning in English will be provided.
