Tuesday June 10, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm EDT
This session will encourage educators to rethink traditional selection criteria for early college high school admissions, broadening definitions of student potential.  We will critically examine how reliance on narrow indicators like test scores and GPA may perpetuate inequities and overlook students with diverse strengths.  Participants will explore alternative, holistic models that incorporate socio-emotional skills, creativity, resilience, and passion for learning.  The session will highlight how such approaches can increase access to early college programs for underrepresented or marginalized students, fostering more equitable opportunities for all.

Using Early College to Build Post-Secondary Success LIMITED
Tuesday June 10, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm EDT
This workshop will focus  on key Designation criteria used to determine MA Early College (EC)  Designation, with a focus on how the criteria were developed to diminish equity disparities in college enrollment, persistence, and degree completion in MA.  Learn more on how MA EC Designated programs are centered on five guiding principles (Equitable Access, Guided Academic Pathways, Enhanced Student Supports, Connections to Career, and Effective Partnerships) and how student participants receive enhanced academic and guidance support prior to beginning, and during, college coursework, as well as additional "college knowledge" to ensure that they not successfully complete college coursework in high school but thrive in the college environment.
