Description: In this training, REL Central will facilitate activities for partners from Colorado state and local education agencies. Partners will review their outcomes from Meeting 1 regarding the 5 Ds process and the tool evaluating equitable practices in dual enrollment. We will then lead a root cause analysis activity, exploring factors most associated with challenges and barriers to dual enrollment outcomes related to access, equity, and participation. Then, we will introduce Plan-Do-Study-Act to begin designing an implementation plan to improve some policies and practices related to dual enrollment access, equity, and participation.
