Coming Soon: College Before College

Dual enrollment and early college programs have rapidly shifted from specialized opportunities into a defining feature of modern American education. Students are earning college credit earlier than ever before, but the rise of acceleration is also raising deeper questions about quality, purpose, pressure, and what education is ultimately supposed to become.Corey Alderdice, a national voice on talent and transformation, previews this special Summer School series exploring how acceleration became normalized, why achievement is increasingly measured through accumulation, and how the growing overlap between high school and college may fundamentally reshape the future purpose of higher education itself.Learn more about the current landscape of college-level learning in high school in the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnership's report Beyond Rigor: Closing the Quality Gap in State Dual Enrollment Policy.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
