The Pros and Cons of Early College High School for Low-income Students

This week I was asked to contribute to a HuffPost Live segment with educators, policymakers, and students to discuss the pros and cons of early college high schools. The panel included:

• Dave Taylor,  Principal of Dayton Early College Academy

• Kathryn Young, National Education Policy Director for Jobs For The Future

• Kesi Augustine, 2008 Graduate of Bard High School Early College; Ph.D. Student at NYU

• Leon Botstein, President of Bard College

It was enlightening to hear all the different perspectives HuffPost Live was able to bring to the table to discuss this growing trend in education.  This coming Tuesday check out my article on the Huffington Post where I’ll continue the early college conversation. Watch the video below and let me know your opinion on early college high schools in the comments.
