Higher Ed for Higher Standards is releasing a new alignment policy brief, Lessons Learned from Tennessee SAILS.

READ THE FULL BRIEF

Now offered at all 13 community colleges throughout the state, TN SAILS began as a local high school & community college collaboration designed to increase the number of students who are college ready by using 11th grade assessment results to target students that have not achieved college readiness benchmarks. Using a blended learning model co-designed by K-12 teachers and higher education faculty, TN SAILS introduces the college developmental curriculum into the high school senior year, allowing students to fill gaps in their learning before they arrive on campus.
