The partnership, which costs $250 per student, is paid for through the school’s budget. IPS students do not have to pay to paricipate. The new program marks the National Education Equity Lab’s first partnership with an Indiana school district. The not-for-profit partners with a number of top universities and public school districts throughout the country to offer credit-bearing college courses at no cost to students. Students watch pre-recorded lectures from university professors while undergraduate teaching fellows also lead classroom discussions—an experience similar to the one found in traditional college courses. The program expands the dual-credit offerings that IPS already provides through Ivy Tech, Vincennes University, IUPUI, and Martin University. In 2021-22, students earned 105 credits through Vincennes University and 989 credits at Ivy Tech. A typical college course carries three credits. “For me the power of this experience for our students is not just the credit that they can earn, but also the confidence that they will be able to have knowing that they can be a student taking a Harvard class, that they can be a student taking a UPenn class,” said Superintendent Aleesia Johnson. “That means something as they think about their futures.” Chalkbeat is a not-for-profit news site covering educational change in public schools.
