Boston STEM Network High School to Higher Ed. Transitions Subcommittee
Project Proposal: Mapping (health and life) Sciences, Technology, Engineering pathways from high school to early college and evaluation of course offerings What we want to know:
1.) Inventory
Technology course offerings in BPS, where they are being taught and # of teachers
Engineering course offerings in BPS, where they are being taught and # of teachers
Health & Life science courses in BPS, where they are being taught and # of teachers
Computer Science offerings in BPS (Exploring Computer Science, AP Computer Science), where they are being taught and # of teachers
How do these courses fit into pathways at each school
*middle school offerings in the (health & life) sciences, technology and engineering
*attention to dual enrollment/pathway math opportunities
2.) Partnership information
higher ed. partnerships supporting pathways
out-of-school time or community program partnerships supporting pathways
industry partnerships and work-based learning opportunities supporting pathways
STEM clubs/groups present at high schools to support pathway work
3.) Assessment of course offering and system as a whole
For elective courses, how do syllabi/description compare to draft standards (computer science) and/or industry needs
How does our high school pathway system as a whole reflect what we know about current and future workforce needs
Why we want to know it:
Equip students and families with information needed to support decisions around school choice
Develop community of practice for teachers across schools who are teaching similar courses (ECS, Engineering etc.)
Working inventory to share with Network (higher ed., OST, industry) for partnership development
Inform document and forums on best practices in career pathway & dual enrollment development and implementation
Course descriptions/syllabi will lead to pool of “skills” to share with PIC employers
identify gaps and strengths to assess whether high school programming mirrors workforce needs
Pathways (and STEM pathways specifically) are a priority of the mayor and we hope of our incoming Superintendent- we need an inventory/baseline of current opportunities to inform new pathway development
