Challenges• Health Science
– Knowledge and skills necessary for success in Anatomy & Physiology, the gatekeeper for all Allied Health pathways, are beyond the scope of the project and would require major changes in science education in NH
– Cost of end-of-program assessment– Space in postsecondary in allied health
programs

Challenges• Accounting
– Project coordinator resignation– Secondary credentials for dual enrollment
courses– Post-secondary support of each others
Accounting programs– Textbooks, software and computer needs at
the secondary level

Lessons Learned
• Flexibility with outcomes-- Allow the stakeholders to take the lead
• Early implementation of an on-line communication tool where all documents can be viewed by all stakeholders– National & State standards– Secondary & postsecondary curricula– Program competencies– Drafts of RPOS templates– Dual enrollment guidelines– Meeting notes, agendas, and presentations

• Inclusion of all stakeholders throughout the project– Regular project reports– In addition to large gatherings, meet often individually - preferably
on their own turf– Relationships formed are valued as much if not more than the final
product and offer avenues to new pathways for students
• Timeline– Involve industry in the process at the beginning.– Early Spring a good time to get people excited and committed– In NH, one summer window of opportunity for workshops/meetings
– last week of June– Sensitivity to high school and college “stress periods”– People want to help get the job done but time is more valuable than
money.

Most Important Lessons Learned
• ALWAYS frame discussions with what is best for students!
• Find a postsecondary representative who understands the challenges of college readiness and can present solutions
• Provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about each other (i.e., gap analysis, resume templates, secondary/postsecondary “language”, school calendars, remediation concerns, etc.)
