College Requirements
Even when dual credit courses are taught at a high school, they are college courses and are documented on college transcripts.
- After the high school instructor is approved by their Gateway departmental dean to be credentialed to teach dual credit Gateway courses, a full-time faculty member will be assigned to the high school instructor’s class as their course manager.
- The course manager will work with the dean and the high school instructor to provide
approved syllabi, Blackboard materials, and to plan an annual in-class visit and observation.
The high school instructor should use their assigned Gateway email to communicate
with the course manager.
- These course managers are responsible for the course content and learning outcomes, and the college is responsible for making sure that the syllabus, course content, learning outcomes and course assessment meet the same standards as courses that take place on the college’s campus.
What to Expect from a Site Visit
Course managers annually visit dual credit classrooms to make sure that courses offered at high schools are taught with the same rigor as those offered at the college. In addition, ongoing communication between instructors is beneficial to our shared educational goals.
Your faculty liaison will meet with you both before and after the class observation. Documentation from the visit is provided to you, the college’s division dean and the college’s chief academic officer. Please email the Dual Credit Secondary Site Support Specialist, Michelle Bellman (michelle.bellman@kctcs.edu), if there are any issues with communication between a course manager or department dean.
