Human Rights ECE Expectations
"Providing Access to, and Preparation for Postsecondary Education"
The UCONN Early College Experience program provides students the opportunity to take University of Connecticut courses at their high school for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UCONN ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut. Students benefit by taking college courses in a warm setting that is both familiar and conducive to learning. High School instructors, who have been certified through UCONN, serve as adjunct faculty members and teacher UCONN ECE courses following the UCONN curriculum - monitored through syllabus collections, assessment review, and classroom observations. Established in 1955 as High School Co-Op and rebranded in 2005, UCONN ECE is the nation's longest running concurrent enrollement program and is nationally accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP)."
Students who elect to take Human Rights for ECE credit will be exposed to a rigorous college curriculum that will allow them to develop and learn essential investigative and inquiry-based skills in this course such as detecting bias, understanding multiple perspectives, problem solving, critical thinking, close reading, determining reliable sources, engaging in deliberate, meaningful conversations, public speaking, evaluating ethical dilemmas, conducting research, and taking action.
It is expected that students take this work seriously and are ready to challenge themselves in thoughtful conversations about human rights issues and theory.
