The students come from 15 Title 1 high schools (where at least 40 percent of the students are from low-income households). Other Stanford courses are expected to be offered through the Lab’s network of Title 1 high schools later in the academic year. “This pilot course is part of an effort by Stanford to expand the university’s social impact at the local, national and global levels, and we are thrilled to partner with the Ed Equity Lab,” said Provost Persis Drell. “Through this new office, we seek to strengthen Stanford’s capacity to innovate in extending educational opportunities to those who have not had access to them before.” Established by Provost Drell, Stanford Digital Education aims to spur innovation in Stanford’s online and hybrid education strategies.

Founded in 2019, the National Education Equity Lab is designing, testing and implementing new scalable strategies to help universities play a more active role in developing and identifying the next generation of scholars and leaders. Stanford is among the nation’s leading universities that are working with the nonprofit to provide online college credit-bearing courses in teacher-led high school classrooms in 32 states at no cost to students.... https://news.stanford.edu/2021/10/25/stanford-offers-novel-hybrid-college-courses-high-schoolers-expand-pathways-higher-ed/?utm_source=Stanford+ALL&utm_campaign=d95de40e1d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2021_10_08_04_28_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c042b4aad7-d95de40e1d-55213074
