What Happens After the Credit: Recruiting for IB Alongside AP and Dual Enrollment? Tuesday, October 13, 3:30PM - 4:30PM with Dr. Maria Andrade Johnson, IBO

What to Expect

Families comparing IB, AP, and dual enrollment usually stop at the credit table — and in California, where dual enrollment is well funded and CSU-backed, that table doesn't favor IB. This session takes up the harder question: what happens to students after the credit is awarded. We'll look at what the three pathways actually offer, what the research says about IB students once they're enrolled — including what it doesn't say — and how to build a recruitment conversation around readiness rather than credit arithmetic. IB alumni join us on video to describe their own university experiences: where the Extended Essay showed up, what happened the first time they were assigned an open-ended research question, and where they found themselves ahead or behind.

Take-aways:

Describe all three pathways accurately, including their real advantages.
Cite IB outcomes research with appropriate precision — without either overclaiming or underselling.
Redirect a credit-focused conversation toward readiness, using specific questions that surface what a family actually wants for their student.
Build an alumni evidence base at their own school.
