14. What makes the Reynolds ACAs different from other forms of dual enrollment offered by Reynolds? • Cohort, Coaching, & Curriculum • They are designed for a specific cohort of students to complete 60+ college credits leading to an Associate Degree concurrent with their high school graduation. • They require a four-year commitment to the program from 9-12 grades, with career coaching interventions beginning in the 9th and 10th grades and Reynolds coursework beginning in the summer before 11th grade.

15. The Cohort Model • Each year, at each of six locations, 25-50 students are recruited and selected from a pool of rising ninth-grade applicants within a given school division. • Students progress in a cohort through a rigorous advanced high school curriculum during the 9th and 10th grade, then proceed together into college coursework in the 11th and 12th grade. • Students benefit from the services and strategic interventions of a dedicated ACA Career Coach for all four years on site at their high school.

19. The Curriculum • Students begin their Reynolds coursework in the summer before their 11th grade year on-campus at Reynolds with a two-credit SDV 100/HLT 115 learning community. • The vast majority of the remaining credits in the program are subsequently taken on the high school campus, taught by a cohort of trained and credentialed full-time high school teachers, identified years in advance and paired with Reynolds ACA faculty liaisons in their discipline.

20. A Typical Curriculum

21. What Have We Learned about Student Success? • Early identification, outreach, and recruitment of students (in 8th grade) creates lasting commitment to attain college credential and allows career coaches to develop long-term working relationships • Cohort model (25-50 students per grade) for four years adds cohesion, peer support, and group purpose and identity • Cohort model for faculty development (10-12 teachers) creates linkages within & across disciplines between HS and CC faculty • Focused two-year, full-time curriculum (with limited alternatives) leads students to complete the A.S. Degree rather than just to amass a “bag of credits”

23. The Bottom Line • Students graduate with an Associate’s Degree concurrent with their high school graduation – at a minimal cost to them and their families.

24. Unique Features of Each College Academy • Henrico (2): one in Social Science, one in Business Administration (both structured as specialty centers) • Powhatan: limited number of seats; one point of entry from 8th grade • Goochland: several admission points through end of 9th grade • Hanover (2): ACA classes held every other day; two locations, each hosting students from one other high school (LDHS hosts LDHS & AHS; PHHS hosts PHHS & HHS); four-year commitment • Richmond: Early College Academy (ECA) held on the DTC, taught by Reynolds faculty, drawing from several high schools in the City; two-year commitment (11th and 12th grade)

25. What is the Early College Academy (ECA)? • The Reynolds ECA provides outstanding Richmond Public Schools (RPS) students the opportunity to earn an Associate Degree while completing the requirements for their high school diploma. • Students apply to the Reynolds ECA in the spring of 10th grade through their local school counselor. • Students take the required college coursework for the Associate Degree on the Reynolds Downtown Campus (DTC) every weekday morning during the 11th and 12th grade.

26. ECA Details • Successful students will earn 60 college credits during their junior and senior years. • Transportation is provided by RPS. • Reynolds ECA classes are taught by specially selected Reynolds professors in exclusive ECA sections. • Reynolds ECA students continue to take electives and participate in sports and clubs at their home high schools after their morning ECA classes.

27. ECA Details (cont.) • Reynolds ECA students receive the services of two Reynolds career coaches (one in the morning on the DTC; the other in the afternoon on site at RPS high schools) beginning in the summer before 11th grade and continuing through graduation. • The ECA features students from seven RPS high schools (Armstrong, Franklin Military Academy, George Wythe, Huguenot, John Marshall, Open, and Thomas Jefferson).

28. Who should apply to a Reynolds College Academy? • An Academy Student should be ACADEMICALLY PREPARED. • Rigorous course work; courses taught at the same pace as other Reynolds courses • Challenging credit load • Students should have demonstrated academic ability through previous performance in academically challenging courses • Students who have taken high school courses in middle school are better prepared for college academies

29.
