Often Direct Credit Models are "packaged" as Early / Middle Colleges, but their design, structure and pedagogy are rarely, if ever, consistent with the tenets of Early / Middle College programs. <br /><br />Direct Credit models have some value and they should be evaluated as such, but to market them as Early Colleges does a grave disservice to the students and the Early / Middle College movement.David Duggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928856502178112449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-45677885630256903562012-01-11T11:24:34.825-08:002012-01-11T11:24:34.825-08:00The Early College Program at IVC has always been p...The Early College Program at IVC has always been promoted by Glenn despite faculty indifference or opposition.
