LSU Dual Enrollment Began by pairing high school Advanced Math with university College Algebra and Trigonometry Students have same Homework, Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exam as LSU students using MyMathLab Concurrent enrollment, articulated credit, dual credit, and dual enrollment Teachers present 1/3 of the face-to-face classroom time; students work 2/3 of the face-to-face time in a computer lab environment with teacher support

Students in LSU Dual Enrollment Spring 2008

The Plan Professional Development for 8-days during the summer in LSU Math Lab LSU faculty facilitator and 5 high school mentor teachers Workshop content 1.
