"University integration day has changed! 1. It used to be a mere formality  2. It was a day of just speeches and presentations 3. It used to be an event with little student involvement Guess what? It's no longer the same old, same old! Now, University integration day is 1. An exciting day filled with interactive sessions  2. An opportunity for students to showcase their talents and initiatives 3. A community-building event packed with activities that foster unity and diversity Stop complaining and start "Embracing Change". This is the 2023 way to celebrate University Integration Day. I am waiting for my new experience in this kind of events . With this, I'd love to know: How have you embraced change in your academic or professional life? Share your experiences below. #EmbraceChange #UniversityIntegration #StudentLife #2023Way"

❓ Did you know that when students are introduced to 4-5 technology-related topics in classrooms, they are 2.6 times more likely to consider a future STEM job and 5.3 times more likely to be employed in a STEM career? That's why NuCoord is consistently devoted to bringing tech related topics to students across Chicago to ensure they're given a chance to explore the innovative, dynamic world of the tech industry. Exposing students to STEM content can be paramount in their decisions to pursue a career in the field. We're so glad to be apart of so many students' journeys so far and can't wait to continue our mission of uplifting the next generation of tech leaders! Read the article below diving deeper into the importance of exposure to STEM content in schools! #TechNonProfit #NuCoord #TechinChicago

Happy 4th of July! Celebrating freedom, unity, and the American spirit. #IndependenceDay2024 Cahn Fellowship Rashid Ferrod Davis 2012 Cahn Fellow, Member of the Design Team and Founding Principal of Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Evaluation "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/g72AsMDi #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 www.ptech.org

For anyone dealing with the pain of not just death, but the death of that person who was the most important person in your life, and you could not imagine living without, I was there 24 years ago today (March 12, 2000). Take one second, one minute, one hour and one day at a time and keep moving forward. My mother gave birth to me in the Bronx in October 1970. When my mother died on March 12, 2000, I was an English teacher working in the Bronx. In 2006 I became the principal of Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy (BETA). In March 2011, I left BETA to become the founding principal of Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH). I helped design the model as we prepared for a September 2011 opening. The NYC P-TECH Grades 9-14 high school model is a multifaceted approach that represents a contemporary vision for career and technical education. It is a hybrid model, combining elements of several other models that have produced strong impacts, including New York City’s Small Schools of Choice, Career Academies, and Early College High Schools. P-TECH is a public-private partnership of the NYC Department of Education, the The City University of New York, the City Tech, CUNY, and IBM to develop a new approach to secondary and postsecondary education. The October 2023 MDRC report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic. The P-TECH model is currently replicated in 28 countries and the state of Texas has more than 200 P-TECH programs. Yaa Yaa Catherine Whaley-Williams (Sadie's Books & Beverages) is my first mentee to become a P-TECH principal and her husband Anthony Williams, Sr is my second mentee to become a P-TECH principal. #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 #womenshistorymonth #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipmatters Pathways in Technology Early College High School PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network The State University of New York New York State Education Department www.ptech.org

The first part of my #Fulbright fellowship was a 10-week course on GLOBAL EDUCATION. I had a basic foundation in this area as a result of my professional learning at Harvard; however, my engagement with Fulbright took my knowledge, skills, and disposition to an entirely new level! With a cohort of dynamic and like-minded educators, we explored global-to-local dynamics, sustainable development goals, and culturally responsive teaching practices. We discussed how to provide innovative learning experiences, promote diplomacy and digital literacy, and grow our own global learning communities. Embracing global education is one of the most consequential endeavors we can take as teachers, and the driving force of global education is the development of GLOBAL COMPETENCE. This is what empowers students to be global citizens. There are four domains of global competence, and they serve as a unifying force—along with the sustainable development goals—behind all of our work. These competencies are: (1) INVESTIGATE THE WORLD; (2) RECOGNIZE PERSPECTIVES; (3) COMMUNICATE IDEAS; and (4) TAKE ACTION. 1. Global competence is first and foremost a mindset, and part of this mindset is inquisitiveness and genuine interest in social, political, cultural, and environmental issues. Global education gives students meaningful tools to investigate these concerns, challenges, and celebrations. 2. Global education also builds students’ capacities to take on the perspectives of multiple stakeholders with both empathy and critical awareness of the various factors that shape these perspectives. Globally competent students also acknowledge their own perspectives and recognize the factors that have influenced them. 3. Globally competent students know how to communicate appropriately and effectively with diverse audiences. They are able to adapt and modify their delivery and content in order to get their message across thoughtfully and thoroughly. Just as authentic inquiry leads to mindful perspective-taking, mindful perspective-taking leads to more productive communication. 4. The fourth component of global competence is being an agent of change. Changemaking projects can take on all sorts of shapes and sizes and have scopes of varying degrees; regardless, the key is that whenever students are able to see themselves as changemakers, they become changemakers. Global education promotes student agency and efficacy, and students who are empowered as global citizens while in school will remain global citizens after graduation. GLOBALLY COMPETENT STUDENTS WILL BUILD A GLOBALLY COMPETENT SOCIETY. #globaleducation #globalcitizenship #sdgs
