EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (CONT’D) • Program quality is central to student success and program sustainability. – Curricular rigor and high standards for student achievement are critical to appropriately prepare high school students for postsecondary education – To ensure financial sustainability and the continued growth and strengthening of high-quality concurrent programs, pricing structures must reflect the cost of ongoing program development and delivery 3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (CONT’D) • Faculty academic preparation and depth of content knowledge is central to program quality. – Concurrent enrollment instructors provide education for which Minnesota State awards academic credit – Like college and university faculty, their value to students lies in their advanced subject expertise – Focused graduate education in the subject area is a necessity – Mentorships with college and university faculty allow for exchange of creative ideas and best teaching practices 4

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (CONT’D) • Minnesota State is working collaboratively with faculty and administrative leadership across K-12 and higher education, and with local Concurrent Enrollment Advisory Committees to address important concurrent enrollment issues. – Ensuring that all concurrent enrollment instructors meet the Higher Learning Commission’s standards for minimum faculty qualifications – Sustaining high quality programs through appropriate pricing structures 5

Draft comprehensive plan to sustain high- quality concurrent enrollment 1. Create processes that support concurrent enrollment instructors to meet the credentialing standards by 2022, the anticipated HLC extension timeline. 2. Create pathways to support concurrent enrollment instructors to meet the minimum credentialing requirement. 3. Provide opportunities to award graduate-level credit to high school teachers who elect to demonstrate graduate-level learning and experience through a portfolio evaluation process. 6
