Watch the live recording of our event to understand how preliminary results for Early College programs show promise as an equity-based solution to post-secondary success
About this Event
Increasing post-secondary completion rates of economically disadvantaged students and students of color is critical to ensuring that students are equipped with the tools and habits of mind to make positive contributions to our community. Early College programs--in which high school students take college courses that offer credit toward a high school diploma and the college degree--present a scalable education model that meets the needs of historically underserved young people by leveraging the assets of our state’s higher education system.
On February 10th we learned more about Worcester's leadership role in our state's Early College programming and the promising results we are seeing as we work towards equity-based solutions that meet our education and workforce needs. This session features the following speakers:
Maureen Binienda, Superintendent, Worcester Public School District with staff and students
Chris Gabrieli, Chairman, Board of Higher Education for the State of Massachusetts
Christina Hebert, Director of Educational Partnerships K-12 & Early College Initiatives, Quinsigamond Community College.
