Cognitive Processing Language (CPL) is rich in references to metacognition, cognitive processes, and requests for remembering, and is important for the development of memory strategies and later study skills as well as for the acquisition of knowledge in specific content domains, including mathematics. More needs to be understood regarding the characteristics of teachers who use high levels of CPL in their instruction or who exhibit greater readiness to incorporate higher levels of CPL when ...

This exploration project will examine the extent to which college credits earned in high school are transferred to a postsecondary institution and applied to a degree or major. This project addresses the problem that although many students are attaining college-level credits during high school with the goal of getting a head start on their postsecondary education, they do not always graduate from postsecondary institutions as quickly as the number of earned credits would allow.

In this project, the partnership will examine the implementation, impact, and cost of all components of Career and College Promise (CCP), a set of three structured dual enrollment pathways in North Carolina (College Transfer, Career and Technical Education, and Cooperative Innovative High Schools, which includes early colleges). The partnership will build the capacity of the participating state agencies to support a cross-sector research agenda; allow for an in-depth and comprehensive respon...

Early colleges are small, innovative high schools that combine college with high school to increase college success for students under-represented in postsecondary education. The Early College High School (ECHS) model targets students from low-income families, students who will be the first in their family to attend college, and students from minoritized racial and ethnic groups. This project assessed the efficacy of the ECHS model as implemented in North Carolina, a state that began impleme...

This project will carry out a follow-up of students already taking part in an evaluation of North Carolina's Early College High School program. Early College High Schools are intended to increase the number of students graduating from high school who are prepared for and who enroll in postsecondary education. In this follow-up study of an earlier IES grant (R305R060022) that found significant initial impacts on 9th and 10th graders, impacts will be estimated for longer-term outcomes includin...
