A Houston-area school district has more than 20x'ed the number of students enrolled in dual credit courses in the last decade by making dual credit courses free for all. In 2024, Goose Creek CISD have over 4,000 students enrolled in dual credit courses with the local community college. A decade ago, that number was around 150. Why is this shift to free dual enrollment a massive win? Underserved communities can now have more opportunities. Moreover, the expansion of courses to include vocational options means students can: → Explore different subjects and careers → Make informed decisions about their future → Transition to employment with minimal debt Naturally, dual enrollment helps boost community college numbers, making them sustainable for the long term while being able to serve a broader community. As long as K12, community colleges, and local employers are singing from the same hymn sheet, dual enrollment can land students in real jobs post-graduation that meet the needs of the local economy. Still, there is a challenge of awareness: many don’t know about the benefits on offer. That’s why I’ve created PathSpark: to open a student’s eyes to opportunities beyond the traditional route. I’m happy to chat with any student wanting to learn how dual enrollment could benefit them. 📧bryan@pathspark.co

School Concurrency Project (Ongoing Collaboration with Community Partners) We are actively updating our school concurrency approach to ensure that new residential developments are adequately supported by sufficient public school capacity. What strategies can be implemented to address capacity shortfalls, and what mitigation options are available if a school concurrency request is denied? Can residential growth occur alongside new school construction? The map below highlights two residential developments near Amanecer Elementary School and Lehigh Acres Middle School, both of which currently lack capacity to accommodate additional students.

New findings from Blueprint Affiliate Elizabeth Setren show that Boston’s METCO program improves students’ long-term outcomes.   METCO, the Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity, has bussed Boston students of color to suburban school districts for over 50 years. Setren’s research shows that METCO reduces dropout rates and increases on-time high school graduation, college enrollment, college graduation, and earnings.   Read the discussion paper here: https://lnkd.in/eifhRr9j

I just launched a new app for students! 🚀 As a Computer Science student at the University of the Witwatersrand, I've experienced firsthand how crucial it is to find the right accommodation. Your res can significantly impact your university experience, and yet, there isn't much information out there from the students who actually live in these places. That's why I created this website—to give students a platform to share their honest reviews and help others make better decisions when choosing their res. 🏠 If you’re a student, I’d love for you to check it out and share your experiences. And if you know any students who might benefit from this, please spread the word! Check it out here: ratemypozi.com
