Overview

Because of the importance of rigorous coursework to postsecondary success and to support district efforts to increase advanced course completion, several districts, including Charlotte and Dallas, are beginning to incorporate into their internal performance management dashboards metrics to monitor advanced course enrollment among eligible students.

In focus group discussions conducted with educators, the Advanced Course Potential metric was considered useful by 92% of respondents when reported at the campus level, but by only 85% of respondents when reported at the student level. The implication is that this metric, though still valuable to teachers in targeting their individual students for advanced coursework, may be even more useful to campus leaders and counselors in developing strategic, school-wide approaches to increasing enrollment and success in advanced courses.
