How? Why? Who? Where? When? What?

Momentum for College and Career Rigorous Coursework in High School “The academic intensity of the student’s high school curriculum still counts more than anything else in precollegiate history in providing momentum toward completing a bachelor’s degree.” – The Toolbox Revisited (2006) Prepares students for college and career success Encourages engagement in school Earning Credits toward College Graduation Student are more likely to complete a college degree if they complete 20 credits during the first year of enrollment. “It is all the more reason to begin the transition process in high school with expanded dual enrollment programs offering true postsecondary course work so that students enter higher education with a minimum of 6 additive credits to help them cross that 20-credit line. Six is good, 9 is better, and 12 is a guarantee of momentum.” – The Toolbox Revisited (2006) Adelman, C. (2006). The Toolbox Revisited: Path to Degree Completion from High School Through College.
