Promoting Student Success in Early College Credit Courses. Overview Brief #28: Postsecondary Transitions

The EdResearch for Action "Overview Series" summarizes the research on key topics to provide K-12 education decision makers and advocates with an evidence base to ground discussions about how to best serve students. Authors -- leading experts from across the field of education research -- are charged with highlighting key findings from research that provide concrete, strategic insight on persistent challenges sourced from district and state leaders. This brief asks how districts and states can promote equitable success in academic early college credit courses and covers research on early college credit courses that focus on academic and general content as opposed to career and technical education (CTE).
