Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment (DC) Advanced Placement (AP) - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Dual Credit/Concurrent Enrollment (DC) Advanced Placement (AP) International Baccalaureate (IB)

 Students are simultaneously earning college and high school credits  Classes are taught at VHS, by VHS teachers, in VHS classes we offer  Teachers are credentialed through PNC, Ivy Tech, or Vincennes  Students are enrolled as a student at the corresponding university/college (not full-time)

 Once a student is accepted, they complete the coursework for the class during the regular school year/semester  As long as the student earns at least a “C” in the course, the student is awarded credit through the corresponding university  Credit may be transferred to the college/university of choice based on the guidelines of the ACCEPTING college/university

 Four intended major areas of: • Biology • Human Resources • Business • General Education Example: Biology (30 credits of the following) • FL201 & FL202 – 6 credits of Foreign Language (French, German, or Spanish) • MA161 – 3 credits of AP/IB Calculus AB • ENGL101 & ENGL102 – 6 credits of AP/IB English Lit and Comp • BIOL121 & BIOL131 – 5 credits of AP/IB Biology II • PHYS220 – 4 credits of AP/IB Physics • HIST151 & HIST152 – 6 credits of AP US History • CHEM115 & CHEM116 – 8 credits of AP/IB Chemistry II

Pros - Cons -  Cost: At $25/credit for  Transferability – Priority and a little Completely relies on more than $100/credit the receiving school for Non-Priority  May count for an  Opportunity: Most elective and not students qualify and towards a major, check offered in many areas with the university of study  Acquisition: Students only need to achieve a “C” for the course

 A rigorous course where the instructor has had the course syllabus approved by the College Board  Students take the course and at the end of the course take the corresponding AP exam  Courses meet national guidelines and AP tests are administered through a determined schedule

 Students take the course and in May they take the corresponding AP exam  In early July, students and schools are notified of the students’ results  Generally, a score of 3, 4, or 5 results in college credit being awarded, but check with the receiving college/university

 Students need to earn a 3+ on 5 different exams from each of 4 areas: • Languages (2) • Global perspective(1) • Science/math/computer science (1) • Other – non-language (1)  Must send at least one result to a university outside of the U.S.

Pros Cons  Cost: Math/Science  Cost: Non- tests are subsidized math/science exams by the IDOE so are $89 each students pay $8 each  Acquisition: Comes  Transferability: More down to passing an widely accepted than exam and dual credit across the coursework is not U.S. considered

 Highest rigor diploma offered at VHS  VHS teachers trained by IB to deliver IB content and ideals  Candidacy begins in the Junior Year, and ends with examinations in May of the Senior Year  Emphasis on growth of the learner, influencing students toward positive personal characteristics

 Select the appropriate classes (1-2 courses within 6 groups + ToK I and II)  Compose the Extended Essay (college- level research paper)  Complete the Creativity, Action, and Service component  Assessment • External – traditional end-of-course tests • Internal – in-course projects, papers, and portfolios
