Factsheet Released on Proposed Amendment to the Dual Credit Quality Act
Stand for Children Illinois has released a two-page summary factsheet of House Bill 5020. This document provides information on student enrollment gaps across different demographic groups as well as highlights the pace at which dual credit continues to grow.
More importantly, the factsheet provides a quick summary of the proposed amendment to the Dual Credit Quality Act. This includes:
- Multiple measures for student eligibility and increased communication with families.
- Statewide framework for minimum qualifications to teach (per the new HLC guidelines).
- Guidance on partnering with alternative postsecondary institutions.
The Illinois P-20 Network’s Dual Credit Think Tank will continue to collect feedback from educators across Illinois from both school districts and postsecondary institutions throughout the process.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Rodrigo López, Director of P-20 Initiatives (rodrigo.lopez@niu.edu).
