Abstract: This article explores the pedagogical possibilities and institutional tensions of co-taught dual enrollment (DE) first-year writing courses. Drawing on their teaching experiences in an early college program, the authors examine how DE fosters collaboration between secondary and postsecondary instructors. They argue that, with adequate professional development and institutional support, DE can promote curricular alignment and enrich writing instruction for future college students. Through classroom narratives and student reflections, the authors show how co-teaching challenges traditional hierarchies and illuminates the increasingly porous boundary between high school and college writing cultures.
