I started with planning Phase meetings in the spring of 1985. Dis- trict people met with Dr. Tom Kearin, Director of the U. of U. Academic Programs. A Summer Enrichment Program for Juniors was held at the Davis U. of U. Center in Bountiful. Fourteen students earned 87 total credits (12.5 per student). The actual cost was $1,754.50. The savings compared to the costs of regular college credit was $1,654.50 In August of 1985, planning sessions were held with Dr. Varnell Bench, Associate Dean, College of Education and Extension Program Leader at Utah State University. This resulted in Davis District offering Psychology 101 and Computer Science 101 on the concurrent plan. One class was held at Layton High and the other was held at Viewmont. Twenty-fiv- e students participated in this phase of the program. They earned a total of 125 hours of college credit. These classes were held after school or in the evening. Additional meetings were held to move into Phase III of the concurrent enrollment program. The emphasis of this phase was to offer concurrent classes during the regular school day. Teachers were selected from the regular school faculty. They had to demonstrate exceptional qualifications, educational background and teaching ability. The teachers selected for concurrent enrollment classes teach during their preparation period and earn extra money for this added assignment. The teachers are given adjunct professor status. Students enrolled in the concurrent programs are charged $6.75 for each college credit they register for. They are required to pay half the cost of the text book. Some classes last a term (quarter) only while others are semester courses. Students must register on a semester basis to ensure constant enroll Simpson takes 3rd ment. The concurrent enrollment prog- ram has grown from 12 students in the summer of 1985 to 183 for the first semester. Classes 1986-8- 7 were offered this year in English, chemistry, psychology, theatre art, physics and social work. More classes are planned for the second semester of 1986-8The benefits to the student of this program are First, they receive college credit for less Second, the inthan Students is struction are given the college level material by an interested teacher in a small classroom, limited enrollment setting. The size of concurrent classes range from seven students to 29 students. This is an atmosphere more conducive to learning than Freshman the auditorium-siz- e classes students frequently experience at the college or university level. All credit earned is transferr-abl- e to any college or university. Mr. Steed summerizes the benefits of concurrent enrollment by saying, Educational offerings integrating the resources of the university and the district suggested a collaborative effort beneficial to all. Combining the instruction and curricular efforts enhances both the university and the district by adding new perspectives. Qualified students who otherwise might not have the opportunity to enroll in a college course could be challenged and at the same time get a jump on completing college 7. two-fol- half-pric- d. e. y. some of the skills in the subject from his father who is an electrical engineer. for the two The teacher-advisstudents who competed in the Math Counts competition was Mrs. Eve Carlsruh.
