In a short ED Talk, Degrees of Change: The Transformative Power of Dual Enrollment, CLP’s Naomi Castro gave an eyewitness account (as a former teacher) of how one student’s experience with dual enrollment broadened her future horizons and helped her see more possibilities as attainable. Watch the video.
“Dual enrollment demands that we, the adults in the room, really change our mindset about the capacity of young people. It isn’t just about earning college credit early, it’s about supporting young people and helping them to imagine, create, and step into their own futures — one degree at a time.”
The six-minute ED talk is from an Accelerate ED convening held in spring 2025. Accelerate ED brings together 25 cross-sector partnership teams across the U.S. that are scaling innovative programs that propel high school students on a pathway to degrees with value in the workplace.
