Bob Schwartz Professor Emeritus Harvard Graduate School of Education Rashid Ferrod Davis Founding Principal Pathways in Technology Early College High School Jobs for the Future (JFF) Fall 2023 Institute The "Pathways to Prosperity" report was published in 2011 by the Harvard Graduate School of Education's Pathways to Prosperity Project. P-TECH opened in 2011. The report focused on the need to expand career pathways for young people beyond the traditional four-year college route, highlighting the importance of vocational education, apprenticeships, and work-based learning opportunities. #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 P-TECH exemplifies pathways to prosperity by providing students with a clear and structured pathway from high school to college and career success. P-TECH is a model of education that combines high school, college coursework, and workplace experiences to prepare students for in-demand careers in fields such as technology, engineering, and healthcare. There are more than 300 P-TECH programs across 28 countries.

Previous reports from the study showed that P-TECH students earned more credits, passed more New York State Regents exams, and were much more likely to take college courses and earn college credits in high school than comparison group students. New findings in this 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. #weareptech #skillsfirst #skillsbuild #skills2030 Pathways in Technology Early College High School PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM IBM iX The State University of New York New York State Education Department www.ptech.org

Setting New Standards: Putting Students First One of our guiding principles is to improve the student experience by understanding how students actually experience the university, particularly the way we communicate, design processes, and provide support. This last year we thought a lot about removing roadblocks, supporting the whole student with efforts toward community and belonging, and helping them stay on track for graduation. ✅ We launched the Summer Success Program in 2021 as a means for first-year students to earn credits. 98% of students who participated in Summer 2022 were enrolled full-time in the Fall 2022 semester. 🏁 As many of us witnessed, COVID-19 left some students just a few credits shy of graduating. So we created the Summer 2023 Graduation Grant program to help students complete up to 12 outstanding credits over the summer. This summer, more than 200 students enrolled in ~1,500 credits to help them successfully cross the finish line. Check out more on this topic in our 2022-2023 NYU Global Enrollment Management and Student Success Annual Report at https://lnkd.in/dAaYV69t I’m curious, how do you support students during their entire college journey? #EnrollmentManagement #HigherEducation #StudentSuccess #HigherEdLeadership #PutStudentsFirst #AccessToEducation

Developing the right learning models, technologies, and physical environments is a top priority for educational institutions. As Gensler's clients invest in the spaces, technologies, faculty, and staff to support different educational models, we are having critical conversations over the future of education that are driving medium- and long-term planning investments. Our friends at Schools That Can have organized an engaging Fireside Chat between John King, Chancellor of the State University of New York and Nancy Cantor, Chancellor of Rutgers University - Newark that will address the most pressing questions in higher education head-on. I plan to tune in and learn more about how universities can play a role in preparing students to be effective public citizens and thrive economically and socially in a rapidly changing world. #EdChat #learning #Teaching #Leadership #Elearning #Success https://lnkd.in/eBJR-pPg

While inspirational stories of college dropouts like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg achieving great success can be motivating, their paths should not be used to diminish the value of education. These entrepreneurs had unique opportunities and talents that enabled their success without a degree. For most people, higher education remains one of the best investments they can make in themselves. College sharpens critical thinking abilities, exposes students to new ideas and skills, and serves as an important credential for many careers. However, a traditional four-year college is not the only path forward. Reasonable arguments can be made for alternative education models like vocational training, community college, or bootcamps. The key is to thoughtfully consider your interests, talents and career goals when making choices about your education. Rather than using dropout stories as an excuse to avoid hard work, they should inspire us to pursue our passions relentlessly. With focus and determination, we can achieve great things whether or not our path includes college. But education in some form remains the surest way to expand opportunity. ✅ Concluding the idea of dropping out of college means studies aren’t important makes no sense at all.
