Beginning in fall semester 2016, students at Widefield High School in Colorado Springs will be able to receive first-semester German language college credit while completing their upper-level German classes. The idea of a dual credit program started when German high school teacher Maureen Richards (an alumna of the ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä German MA program) contacted GSLL expressing interest in collaborating with ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä to further strengthen high school German programs and to prepare students for their college education. GSLL German language coordinator Dr. Berit Jany and Ms. Richards collaborated on learning objectives and the course curriculum to ensure that the high school German coursework meets college standards.Ìý The high school German coursework has been accepted for dual accreditation through ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä's concurrent enrollment program.
