This study will examine advanced course taking among high school students in Connecticut, with attention to changes in supply and demand following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our work will begin with a thorough census to identify all relevant advanced course enrollments and the associated providers, from 2017 to present. We will summarize the longitudinal data by course, district, and student groups, allowing us to identify distinct patterns and profiles. Subgroup analyses will address groups disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. We will conduct interviews and surveys with students, school counselors, district decision makers. We will also interview institutional providers of dual-enrollment classes to explore reasons for changes in supply in demand since the pandemic, and conduct a statewide survey of counselors.
