• Establish Partnerships: Stipends, planning time, and support for high school and community college, administrators, counselors, and teachers to develop shared resources, shared staffing, shared professional development, and collaboration processes.
• Enrollment and Related Processes: Improving systems and processes for students (such as systems/process redesign to streamline enrollment/registration; new technology, software to enable virtual/digital solutions; sharing common learning management systems/platforms [such as Canvas] across segments; systems to monitor and support student progress and tailor just-in-time, proactive supports).
• Program Pathway Design: Planning for collaboration time among educators (high school and college) to clarify and align programs and services, to link increasing levels of certification, education, and employment; to support students in choosing among the opportunities that interest them.
• Embedded Student Supports:
  • Designing processes for academic intervention when needed.
  • Designing embedded schedule of support.
  • College specialists who help students apply, enroll, and make sure they are up and running in their classes.
  • Embedded tutors.
  • High school teachers who access Canvas to provide support for students in college classes.

  • Student-centered innovations in instructional delivery and student supports such as team teaching; co-requisite supports in the high school context; proactive, embedded student supports; remote and hybrid delivery.
• College Textbooks: Lab supplies or other needed instructional materials for dual enrollment courses.
• Collaboration and Planning Time:
  • Helping colleges identify, share, and implement successful strategies and approaches.
  • Data sharing, tracking, and analysis across segments/partnerships; continuous and longitudinal analysis of student outcomes; and creation of internal and public-facing data dashboards.
  • Integration of dual enrollment into college and school district goals, planning processes and policies (such as Local Control Accountability Plans, College and Career Indicator, enrollment management plans, educational master plans, strategic plans, Guided Pathways Plans, and Student Equity and Achievement Plans).
  • Identification and removal of barriers to equitable access and success for students historically underserved in dual enrollment, including reviewing and revising relevant policies, processes, and requirements with an equity lens.
• Outreach:
  • Encouraging partnerships to reach out and support underrepresented students and those who may not already be college bound with specifically designed programs and services, including by taking into account the needs of their families and communities.
