Read More 2015 GROWING SOIL STRAIGHT A GRANT FINAL REPORT Between January 2014 and September 2015 through the generous support of Ohio Straight A funds in rounds 1 and 2, SOIL (STEM Outdoor Learning Labs) was able to reach out across the state and dynamically utilize space that is traditionally under-utilized at schools to increase the planning and implementation of problem-based learning in grades 5 through 12. The program collectively partnered with 16 school districts, stretching from Lake Erie to the Kentucky border, the Fairfield ESC, COSI, Hocking College, and the PAST Foundation, along with numerous community businesses and organizations. Growing SOIL funded in Straight A Round 2 brought on the growth of the initial program by challenging the first cohort of 9 SOILabs to partner or “buddy” with other local programs in order to more fully utilize the modules and labs created in Round 1. Thus, another 9 buddy programs were established on top of the 15 anchor SOILabs by the culmination of the second grant growing the reach of the program to 24 schools.

Read More 2014 Cultivating Leadership in the STEM Schoolhouse – Roadmap for STEM Transformation Improving the quality of preK-12 educational systems presents complex challenges that go far beyond simply raising student scores on standardized tests. Today, educational leaders are exploring ways to enhance the substance of education, advancing an approach to student learning through curriculum integration utilizing the content vehicles of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in the context of transdisciplinary problem based learning (TPBL). Inherent in this approach is fundamental change, infusing new roles and relations within the schoolhouse and in each classroom, effectively opening up new leadership roles among principals, teachers and students. Read More 2014 CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM DESIGN FOR NINTH GRADE ENROLLMENT REPORT The projected 9th grade enrollment is 60 students, and extends access to more than 20 school districts in the region, building total Clean Tech ECHS student enrollment to approximately 170 freshmen, juniors and seniors. This marks the fourth year of the program’s continued growth, advancing planned future expansion to enroll 250 students in grades 9-12. The program was developed in partnership with the Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and is located at the HVCC TEC- SMART campus. Read More 2014 CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL NINTH-GRADE PROGRAM LAUNCH REPORT During the spring quarter of 2014, the PAST Foundation provided support for the Clean Technologies Early College High School (Clean Tech) preparation for the first cohort enrollment of ninth-grade students entering high school in fall 2014. The first report issued in June 2014 tracked the early stages of planning, including outreach and recruitment strategies for opening enrollment to eighth-grade students from across the region seeking STEM education as a component of their high school course work. The report, “Program Design for Ninth-Grade Enrollment, Fall 2014,” outlined regional recruitment efforts conducted by Clean Tech in collaboration with middle schools, and identified key issues and challenges for increasing enrollment of under-represented students, including females as well as at-risk and disadvantaged youth.

The pilot year evaluation of the program (2011-12) produced a multi-faceted set of issues identified by both faculty and students. Those issues were presented in the PAST Foundation report, Ethnographic Study of the Ballston Spa Clean Technologies and Sustainable Industries Early College High School Program, 2012). Year two (Y2) of the program plan incorporated many of the recommended actions as part of the overall planned program expansion adding the senior level coursework to the junior level program established in year one (Y1). This report provides a preliminary view of Y2 program changes as well as new elements developed by program staff to meet Y2 goals to facilitate a more robust transition for junior and senior students entering the intensive pace of the ECHS program.

The initial year of the program offered only 11th grade coursework to students in their third year of high school. The ECHS Program was launched by an innovative partnership between the Ballston Spa Central School District with the Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The success of the program is also building on support of a collaborative endeavor bringing business and industry, nonprofits, government, and others in the region together to establish the “Early College High School” model for STEM education.
