K-20 Progession Project
Without addressing roadblocks throughout the entire learning process, student success will continue to be compromised. We seek to increase accessibility for all students by supporting policies and programs that make the journey through school and into higher education as efficient and productive as possible.
To address progression challenges, the Blackboard Institute’s objectives are:
- Determine the most critical progression issues within and between segments
- Identify the most promising practices for addressing these issues
- Outline steps needed to research, develop and share these practices
K-20 Council
The "Pipeline Matters Council: Improving K-20 Student Progression," was one of few gatherings where leaders from K12 and higher education were in the same room and working together to identify the factors that could increase high school and college graduation rates.

Dual Enrollment Research
Dual enrollment represents a key opportunity to increase student progression.
The Blackboard Institute will collectively publish effective practice studies on dual enrollment to assist on-the-ground educators and inform the larger policy debate.
