Who We Are

Mission: 

The Tennessee Alliance for Dual Enrollment Partnerships began in 2023 as a grass-roots cadre of dual enrollment practitioners, advocates, and policy administrators from across Tennessee meeting to discuss best practices, opportunities, and challenges to provide early post-secondary opportunities for high school students. 

Purpose:

To support dual enrollment programs through advocacy of best practice, research, and collaboration that promote student access and completion, program development, professional development, communication, and high-quality standards. TnADEP will provide a forum for participants to share best practices, provide training and disseminate information regarding dual enrollment. 

Key focus areas include: 

• Assessing the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) standards of quality for current enrollment programs.

• Facilitating the exchange of ideas and issues among dual enrollment professionals.

• Fostering cooperation among education professionals and agencies.

• Fostering strong partnerships between secondary and postsecondary education institutions.

• Providing opportunities for professional development for dual enrollment practitioners.

• Serving as an advocate and educator for dual enrollment with stakeholders and legislators.
