The projects Oregon began last year (Redesign of Developmental Education; push to have more high school students graduate with college credit, esp. in writing) are ongoing, and haven’t ramped up this academic year yet. I’ll know more in a few months esp. since I’m attending the statewide Redesign meetings as part of a team from Central Oregon Community College.

The Accelerated Learning Bill (SB 222) is making its way in Salem: that is the bill requiring high schools/colleges to offer high school students a variety of ways to earn college credit in high school (which always includes composition courses).
