Some secondary schools require a higher GPA of 3.5 before a student can take a dual credit course. Some students are capable of taking more than five courses. Students are caught in the middle of different interpretations. DESE wants it used. It will take time for MAP to be successful.
Misinformation regarding mixed classes does exist.
The ideas that all students must have a 3.0 GPA or that there can be no mixed classes are incorrect. Logistical and cost problems exist in teachers returning to school to achieve the teacher qualifications. Lack of cost-friendly and choice of institution Scheduling of attendance may require sabbatical leave. Some schools provide reimbursement based on the University of Missouri credit-hour system, but there is a cap on it. TAs Dr. Shannon expressed the concern that it is inconsistent that the NCA allows TAs to teach on campus without meeting the NCA's requirements for teacher certification, yet dual credit teachers may not be permitted to teach the same introductory general education class to high school students without meeting the certification requirements.
