“… Let's also make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on

a path to a good job. Right now, countries like Germany focus on

graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a

technical degree from one of our community colleges, so that

they're ready for a job.

At schools like P-TECH in Brooklyn, a

collaboration between New York Public Schools, the City

University of New York, and IBM, students will graduate with a

high school diploma and an associate degree in computers or

engineering.

… “

President Barack Obama

State of the Union address

Why P-TECH matters



U.S. demand for IT workers far outpacing supply, with steady decline in American

students receiving degrees in STEM-related subjects



Pathways to Prosperity (Harvard): U.S. must broaden the range of high-quality

pathways offered to young adults, with far more emphasis on career counseling,

career education, apprenticeship programs and community colleges as viable

routes to well-paying jobs

(29)

Core Principles



Students should be expected to apply knowledge and skills in

meaningful tasks within authentic contexts and given multiple

opportunities to succeed



Understanding big ideas in content (and context) is central to the

work of students



Students can only find and make meaning when they are asked to

inquire, think at high levels, and solve problems



Teachers regularly use thought-provoking, engaging and interactive

instructional strategies



Students need opportunities to revise their assignments using clear

examples of successful work, known criteria and timely feedback

Mentoring leads to better student outcomes



According to a research brief published by Child Trends, “Mentoring: A

Promising Strategy for Youth Development" found:

• Educational achievement: Mentored youth have better attendance; a better chance of going on to higher education; and better attitudes toward school.

• Health and safety: Mentoring appears to help prevent substance abuse and reduce some negative youth behaviors.

• Social and emotional development: Taking part in mentoring promotes positive

social attitudes and relationships. Mentored youth tend to trust their parents more and communicate better with them.

(38)

 Academic Achievements

(44)

“… IBM’s 430,000 employees spent 3.2 million hours volunteering

last year [2011], honing skills while building goodwill. From P-TECH,

a public high school in Brooklyn where students can earn an

associate degree in computer science, to a global grid that pools

unused computer processing power for the benefit of researchers,

the company makes sure its philanthropic efforts align with its

business objectives. That’s why IBM takes the top spot in The Civic

50, a new scorecard on America’s community-minded companies

produced by Bloomberg LP in partnership with the National

Conference on Citizenship and Points of Light, two nonprofits

promoting volunteerism. Along with measuring community impact,

‘we want to see how well companies leverage the time and talent of

their employees,’ says Points of Light executive Jackie Norris. …”
