FOCUS: To create leaders and entrepreneurs with solid background knowledge of the industry, the law and the technological and career skills emphasized in the entertainment industry.
CTE (Career Technical Education) Pathways: Law Entertainment and Media Arts
THREE MAJORS Law and Leadership Entertainment (Film, Cable/Television) Media Arts ( with a specialization in videogame design)
Future The top 10 jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004 U.S. Department of Labor estimates today’s
high school student will have 10 to 14 jobs by age 38
For students starting a 4 year college or technical degree in 2010 … 50% of what they learn the 1st year of study will be outdated by the 3rd year
LEMA We are preparing our students for jobs
that don’t exist yet Using technologies that haven’t been
invented yet In order to solve problems we don’t even
know exist yet … OPPORTUNTIES ARE AVAILABLE
Opportunities Available Graduate from LEMA
A – G UC/CSU requirements C average or better = acceptance to CSULA (2.0 GPA) AP or Dual Enrollment Classes provides one year of
community college credit eHIGH® (when operational and funded) will provide
tutoring, intervention, credit recovery, enhancement and acceleration of classes AND a minimum of two years of work experience
Realities 50% of 8th grade students do not attend
high school 50% of 9th grade students do not remain in
high school 50% of entering 9th grade students do not
graduate from high school
REALITIES California State University reports that 46% of all 1st-year
students require remedial education in both English and mathematics (Ali & Jenkins, 2002).
Rates at community colleges may be considerably higher, and having to enroll in remedial courses increases the time it takes students to complete their degrees and is associated with a decreased graduation rate (National Center for Education Statistics, 2004).
In U.S. only 17% of students who must take a remedial reading class receive a bachelor’s degree or higher; of those taking two remedial classes (other than reading), only 20% receive a bachelor’s or higher (National Center for Education Statistics, 2004).
Realities 60% of students from low-income families can
expect to graduate from high school, 1 in 3 (33%) will enroll in college, only one in seven (14%) will earn a bachelor’s
degree (Conley, 2005). Those students who do succeed in earning a
college degree today are taking longer to do so compared with students 20 years ago (ACT, 2002; Conley, 2007).
Demographics - Latinos According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned
Pregnancy, more than half -- 53% -- of Latinas get pregnant in their teens, nearly twice the national average.
The nation's 45 million Latinos constitute the largest minority group in the United States with a growth rate twice that of the general population.
By 2025, one-quarter of all American teens will be Latinos.
Fewer than six in 10 Latino adults in the United States have a high school diploma.
Latino teens are more likely to drop out than their non-Hispanic counterparts, and of all the children living in poverty, 30% are Latino.
69% of Latino teen moms drop out of high school, and the children of teen mothers are less likely to do well in school themselves and often repeat grades.
Demographics - Latinas 74% of Latino teens believe that parents send one message about sex to
their sons and a different message altogether to their daughters, possibly related to the Latino value of machismo.
Latino teens believe that the most common reason teens do not use contraception is that they are afraid their parents might find out.
72% of sexually experienced teens say they wish they had waited.
34% of Latino teens believe that being a teen parent would prevent them from reaching their goals, but 47% say being a teen parent would simply delay them from reaching their goals.
76% said it is important to be married before starting a family.
LEMA believes that global economies, new technologies and growth in information are transforming society, requiring students to master 21st century literacies.
At LEMA, students will apply problem-solving, critical thinking and analytical skills, practice collaboration and leadership skills, master the written, oral and visual communication and technology skills and practice the work ethic, teamwork and organizational skills that 21st century employers require
LEMA Nintendo invested more than $140 million in Research
and Development in 2002 The U.S. government spent less than half as much on
research and development in education There are 110 million monthly active registered users of
MySpace in 2008; 300,000 new users sign-up daily. (If MySpace were a country, it would be 11th in size
between Japan and Mexico)
Shift happens There are 2.7 billion searches a month using
Google; 47 million laptops were sold in 2006 The number of text messages sent and received
each day exceeds the population of planet Facebook – 60 million active users; average of
250,000 new registrations per day. Teens use multiple media when not in school,
but are prohibited from using it, with few exceptions while in school.
We are living in exponential times. “For students starting a four-year technical or college degree, … this means that
half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.”
(Karl Fisch, Shifthappens)

‘s commitment As educational leaders, we believe that all students are
capable of learning and of mastering the core competencies and habits of mind necessary for academic and career success. But it is up to the adults to create an environment that ensures this and a culture that encourages it, a school district that supports it and a state that provides sufficient funding to ensure it. LEMA proposes to create just such an environment, which motivates all students to participate and provides a safety net that no student can escape or will want to escape from. This requires acknowledging the realities of a broken system and providing the resources necessary for transformation.
