It?s a small yet significant step toward boosting Wisconsin?s brain power. High school students across the state will have more access to college coursework by 2013, the state Department of Public Instruction and University of Wisconsin Colleges announced this week. Some of the UW courses will be offered online at high schools. Others will be taught by high school teachers with oversight from college professors. And here?s the cool part: The new classes will count toward high school and college diplomas at the same time. It?s called “dual enrollment,” and it?s something Wisconsin needs more of ? individualized instruction using technology to help control cost.
