Abstract	This brief is intended for policymakers, education system leaders, and dual enrollment advocates who are considering what it will take to build long-term strategies that significantly expand the supply of instructors qualified to teach college in high school. The author's recommendations are rooted in Jobs for the Future's (JFF's) recent partnership with two very different sites--Denver Public Schools (Colorado) and Mounds View Public Schools (Minnesota)--that shared the aim of increasing this pool of educators. Following an overview of JFF's work that addresses the dual enrollment staffing shortage, this brief is organized into four sections. Section I describes the innovative efforts of Denver and Mounds View to upskill current teachers to serve as college adjuncts. Section II then analyzes the competing stakeholder interests that must be taken into account when developing solutions for a problem that crosses the secondary-postsecondary divide. Section III provides short-term recommendations for increasing state-level coordination and forging solutions at scale. Finally, section IV recommends longer-term, systemic approaches that could build and sustain a teaching force for college in high school. (ERIC).
