The Collaborative Process to Learn More about Dual Credit Programs in Washington state
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 free webinar, we will 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 will also share their experience with this process and how the data it produces impacts their sectors.
Panelists include:
- Katie Weaver Randall, Director of the Washington State Education Research and Data Center
- Liz Dehlbom, Senior Data Scientist at the Washington State Education Research and Data Center
- Dr. Dave Paul, Washington state Representative
- Dr. Bish Paul, Senior Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and member of the Dual Credit Workgroup
Spanish interpretation and captioning in English will be provided.
