.@ehsegal I would start by talking to folks like @ncnewschools or @jfftweets #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

But implementing in comprehensive high schools and districts has lots of potential for effecting widespread change #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Small early colleges can be a good model, esp in communities where they think their kids can't do college courses #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

It gets schools to think about how they need to do things differently to help students be successful (2/2) #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Early colleges differ from dual enrollment in that the model is more comprehensive 1/2 #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

It is not just about college courses, it is also about high school courses, instruction and support for students #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

.@rtbiehl More community college are doing the active monitoring like @DennisDavisSr mentions #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

.@edworkschuck Yes! Early colleges make a difference for students for whom expectations have historically been low. #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Are you asking about early intervention for college courses or for high school courses? @rtbiehl #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

We see schools focusing more on college-going; students tell us they are smarter because they are taking college courses #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

I mean that counselors cannot do it by themselves--it is too much extra #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Because counselors cannot do the early college work #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

agree with @DennisDavisSr--our work shows college liaisons are important to the model (1/2) #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Explicit instruction in college readiness skills is very important @ehsegal #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Early colleges require us to think differently about high school and college--as they happen at the same time! #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Early colleges are really a new model of schooling that blends the high school and college experiences. #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

Early i3 results show more students are taking college courses. We will look at graduation, college prep coursetaking #i3edchat

[Julie Edmunds @ECHSResearch]

We are looking at the impact of the work on student outcomes, and also on the culture of the school. 2/2 #i3edchat
