    From: Jones, Allen To: Hall, Vince; Shepard, Tom; McCormack, Irene; DRBOB Subject: AJ"s edits to first draft of State of the City address Date: Saturday, January 05, 2013 4:29:20 PM Attachments: Attached are my revised additions to the SoC in response to our discussion today. Allen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Shepard <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 9:43 AM Subject: First draft of State of the City speech To: Vince Hall < > Attached is a first draft of the State of the City speech. As I mentioned when we first discussed this, the draft should be viewed as a framework, not a completed document. I’ve highlighted in yellow paragraphs that are still needed but that are outside my areas of expertise. Among these, I’ve already asked Chris Frahm to give us a paragraph on water policy, which she has promised by next week. Also, please note that it has been a custom in some previous SoCs to solicit suggestions from the council members about specific initiatives they would like the mayor to call out and for which they would like to be recognized. Not sure if you want to do this, but if so the appropriate place would be right after Bob’s recognition of them in the current draft. To expedite the process of completing this, I suggest we schedule a meeting with Bob sometime this next week to go over the draft, get his feedback, and make assignments for additional items that need to be added. I stand ready to revise, add, delete (or in any other way you direct) take responsibility for ensuring Bob ends up with a final product with which he is satisfied.

  • Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality
    High School Dual Enrollment in Florida: Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality Summary Research Report Vivian Yuen Ting Liu CCRC Veronica Minaya CCRC Qing Zhang University of California, Irvine Di Xu University of California, Irvine October 2020 Address correspondence to: Vivian Yuen Ting Liu Postdoctoral Research Associate Community College Research Center Teachers College, Columbia University 525 W. 120th St., Box 174 New York, NY 10027 212-678-3091 Email: [email protected] Funding for this study was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The findings and conclusions contained within are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of the foundation. Abstract This report presents findings on the relationship between taking community college dual enrollment courses—in which high school students earn high school and college credits simultaneously—and college outcomes among Florida public high school students. It analyses dual enrollment course-taking by racial/ethnic group (Black, Hispanic, White) and course modality (face-to-face on-college-campus, face-to-face off- campus, and online). The report includes (1) a descriptive analysis of the demographic characteristics and outcomes of dual enrollment participants and (2) multivariate regression analyses of the associations between dual enrollment participation and college outcomes, controlling for a rich set of student and school characteristics. The analyses use transcript-level unit record data on two cohorts of Florida students who started public high school in 2007 and 2012 and were tracked through high school and into Florida state colleges (community colleges) and universities. We find that Florida high school students who took dual enrollment courses were more likely to be White, female, and from more affluent backgrounds than those who did not take dual enrollment courses.

  • High School Dual Enrollment Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality
    High School Dual Enrollment Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality A CCRC study of dual enrollment in Florida finds that while there are substantial participation gaps by race/ethnicity, Black, Hispanic, and White high school students all appear to benefit from taking dual enrollment courses. The vast majority of dual enrollment students enroll in such courses through community colleges, and most students take dual enrollment courses face-to-face on a college campus or face-to-face off-campus, though some students (about 9%) take the courses primarily online. Using descriptive and multivariable regression analysis, CCRC researchers examined the college outcomes of Florida public high school students (who were 9th graders in 2007 and 2012) who did and did not take dual enrollment courses. Although the researchers controlled for a rich set of student and school characteristics, their analysis does not allow for causal inferences. Key Findings Participation Rates PARTICIPATION Dual enrollment students were substantially more likely to be White and female and to not participate in free or reduced- price lunch (FRPL) than students who did not participate in dual enrollment. COLLEGE OUTCOMES Taking dual enrollment courses is positively associated with better college outcomes—including immediate college enrollment and degree completion— across all three racial/ethnic groups. However, White dual enrollment students were more likely to attend both community colleges (called state colleges in Florida) and state universities than their White non-dual enrollment peers, whereas Black and Hispanic dual enrollment students were more likely to attend only state universities compared with their non-dual enrollment peers.
