008 Postsecondary, Posthaste

Camden Hanzlick-Burton joins us from Washington to discuss the effects of high school students earning college credit before they graduate. Washington has Running Start, Kansas has dual enrollment, and many other states have similar programs. Some new and more detailed measures of Running Start outcomes (How Much of a “Running Start” Do Dual Enrollment Programs Provide Students?) indicate there may be some problems with the program and how it is impacting student achievement. Then we turn to elementary education to consider how teacher perceptions of technology shape tablet usage and impact on student learning (Exploring the use of educational technology in primary education: Teachers’ perception of mobile technology learning impacts and applications’ use in the classroom). We drink Oak Aged Yeti, a whiskey-infused imperial stout from Great Divide Brewing Co.
