A Co-Management Team consisting of college presidents, school board directors, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities personnel manages SCWI and will be working with all district school boards and all colleges in 2009-2010 through 16 Regional Planning Teams, across the province.

SCWI provides opportunities for district school boards and colleges to bring together faculty, teachers and administrators to work collaboratively to increase opportunities for student success.

There has been steady growth in dual credit programs since 2006-07 when dual credit programs involving 65 boards and 24 colleges provided expanded learning opportunities for 2,500 students. In 2007-08 the number of students in 150 approved dual credit programs increased to 4,300, with 67 boards and 24 colleges involved in collaborative partnerships. In 2008-09, all 24 colleges and all 70 eligible school boards are partnering to provide 4,500 students with challenging and engaging learning opportunities through 171 dual credit programs. The goal for 2009-10 is to build on these successes. For 2009-10, the SCWI focus will be on increasing opportunities for many more students through dual credit programs while maintaining and solidifying existing successful dual credit programs and activities, based on collaboration and partnerships between boards and colleges through Regional Planning Teams.

SCWI initiatives continue to ensure that students who are facing challenges in graduating will have greater access to more choice, with flexible options for customizing their learning to their individual interests, strengths and needs. It is anticipated that students will continue to engage and re-engage in learning and achieve their secondary school

diploma as a result of such opportunities.
