✦ Synopsis

s Project Advance is a collaborative program between the university and selected high schools that allows students an opportunity to earn college credit while they are in high school. The program also serves two other major purposes. It provides both in-service training for high school faculty and a continuing forum for communication between educators from both schools and universities. Finally, as an agency of the university's Center of Instructional Development, Project Advance conducts extensive on-going research and evaluation as part of its efforts to systematically improve instruction. The Project Advance staff manages the logistics of the agreement that permits colleges of the university to offer their regular courses to non-matriculated students in nearly eighty high schools in five states where the courses are taught by high school faculty who serve as adjunct instructors. These adjunct instructors are trained, evaluated, certified, and supervised by members of the academic department that offers the same course on the Syracuse campus. Now in 27 W. T. Daly.
