Aligned Expectations Gary Nixon Executive Director State Board of Education

Tennessee’s Student Pipeline ninth graders: 63 graduated high school on time 39 entered community college or university 27 were enrolled the sophomore year 17 graduated within 150% of time

Background Jobs that require post- secondary education or training will make up more than two- thirds of new jobs. Source: Carnevale, Anthony P. and Donna M. Desrochers, Standards for What? The Economic Roots of K–16 Reform, Educational Testing Service, 2003.

College Readiness 36 states produce HS graduates better prepared for college than Tennessee.

The early HS math courses are not helping students to advance

Developmental Studies First-time Freshmen : Community Colleges 74% Universities40% Overall60% 2014 Target10%

Are Tennessee Students Proficient? Spring 2007… National Chamber of Commerce comparison report card of key education factors in all states: Tennessee made an “F” in the category of Truth in Advertising…comparing Tennessee proficiency (our state assessments) to National proficiency (NAEP)

Is there a gap between achievement on state assessments and NAEP?

Change… “We won’t create change until there is more pressure for change than resistance to change.” William Daggett

The Problem Tennessee has lost more than 33,000 manufacturing jobs in the last two years. MTSU economist David Penn Sixty-seven percent of new jobs will require training beyond a HS diploma by –Tennessee must at least double the number of postsecondary credential holders.

More Problems “State’s Income Growth Tanks” The Tennessean, March 27, 2008 –Tennessee is tied for 50 th (with Arizona) in growth rate of per capita income. –“We just don’t have the workforce to compete.” UT economist Bill Fox –Education is seen as the key.

Digging Out Tennessee Diploma Project –Produce graduates prepared for postsecondary and workforce training. PC 459 –Provides the infrastructure to move more students through the P-16 pipeline. –Requires partnership between two or more LEAs and an IHE.

Tennessee Diploma Project

Achieve and the American Diploma Project Created by the NGA and business leaders in 1996 A bipartisan Not-For-Profit that helps states raise academic standards Assessments and accountability driven Prepare all young people for postsecondary education, work and citizenship

PC 459

Purpose of PC 459 “…to authorize public postsecondary institutions and LEAs to jointly establish cooperative innovative programs in high schools and public postsecondary institutions.”

Dual Enrollment A postsecondary course, taught either at the postsecondary institution or at the high school, by the postsecondary faculty which upon successful completion of the course allows students to earn postsecondary and secondary credit concurrently.

Dual Credit A postsecondary course that is taught at the high school by high school faculty for high school credit. Students are able to receive postsecondary credit by successfully completing the course, plus passing the assessment developed and/or recognized by the granting postsecondary institution without paying any tuition. The institution will post the credit upon enrollment of the student.

Dual Credit A “toe in the water” recruitment tool that provides the opportunity for early success and the belief that “I can, too.” The financial burden is lifted for both the students and the postsecondary institution making it possible to enroll targeted students.

Dual Credit A strategy to align new high school courses with postsecondary courses through pilots that when approved can be offered in high schools across Tennessee. Students successful on the post- secondary challenge assessment will receive postsecondary credit at TBR/UT institutions across Tennessee offering that course once they enroll.

The Fiscal Impact of Dual Credit University Increased Enrollment Dual Credit Hours Earned Tuition Paid Hrs. (120-6) Revenue not Collected Potential Revenue Increase $990,000$18,810, $660,000$12,540, Credit Hours = BS Degree Cost = $220 / Credit Hour New revenue = new students X Tuition Paid Hrs X $220 = 1 X 114 X $220 = $25,080

The Fiscal Impact of Dual Credit Community College Increased Enrollment Dual Credit Hours Earned Tuition Paid Hrs. (60-12) Revenue not Collected (Dual Credit) Potential Revenue Increase $909,000$3,636, $606,000$2,424, Credit Hours = Associates Degree Cost = $101 / Credit Hour New revenue = new students X Tuition Paid Hrs X $101 1 X 48 X $101 = $4,848

Economic Development Goal To at least double the rate at which students attain postsecondary credentials in high-demand, high-skill, and high-wage jobs. –Significantly increasing the number of students attending and completing universities, community colleges, and technology centers.

Where will they all sit? “Senior to Sophomore” Concept – Students earn most of the freshman year credits before arriving on the postsecondary campus through: –AP/IB –e-learning –Articulation –Dual Enrollment –Dual Credit (PC 459) Seed credits to recruit and retain the first generation and other challenged student. Showcase postsecondary programs.

Our P-16 Job Today Build the P-12 pipeline that will produce high school graduates who are prepared (70%) to be successful in postsecondary training. Build the PC 459 infrastructure so that prepared graduates are recruited to postsecondary and credentialed, ultimately meeting the demands of Tennessee’s jobs.
