Advocating and Engineering Transformation in education, education-to-employment and STEM outreach.
The boundaries between segments hold tremendous potential, especially for both academic and CTE dual enrollment. Allowing this to be managed and tracked at the level of students and families, and schools and colleges is critical. However, without adequate software or personal technology these type of strategic and accessible dual enrollment options and pathways are only available to a tiny fraction of the school population and have to managed with adequate human resourcing, which is difficult in budget constrained times.
Director of Pathways and Postsecondary Success Strategies at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
As I reflect on the wild ride that is ASU-GSV, I'm energized by the fact that "skills," "pathways," and "degrees" were mentioned together throughout the summit. To me, that signals that there is a growing commitment to delivering real value for students via strong pathways from education to career. We know that dual enrollment is often an important component of those pathways—that's why I'm excited to share our team's new learning deck. Check it out to learn about the history of dual enrollment, our hypothesis about what great dual enrollment programs look like, and the levers we have to make all dual enrollment programs great ones. Shoutout to Career Ladders Project, the Community College Research Center, and the Public Policy Institute of California for their partnership—as well as Bill Tucker and Sylvia Symonds, Ph.D. for their synthesis. https://lnkd.in/ddRxupij

Proud to share that our team secured a rank of 155 in the Amazon ML Challenge, starting strong but facing an unexpected turn on the final day. 📉 From holding rank 18, we saw a surge of new team submissions jump from 300 to 2700+ in just the last hours! While this sudden shift was devastating and unbelievable, we’re still incredibly proud of the hard work, dedication, and problem-solving skills we demonstrated throughout the competition. 💪 Sometimes the results don’t reflect the effort, but the journey itself has been a tremendous learning experience, and we’ve grown both as individuals and as a team. On to the next challenge! 🚀 #MachineLearning #AmazonMLChallenge #LearningJourney #Teamwork #DataScience #KeepPushing #GrowthMindset
Glad to share that our team secured the 𝟭𝟱𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 out of the 𝟮,𝟰𝟯𝟴 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 that participated in the 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗟 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰! While we aren’t at the top, I’m proud of the efforts we put in and what we’ve achieved. Big thanks to my teammates Ashish Jha, Saksham Gera, and Auritra Dey for their inputs and support throughout the process. The problem statement pushed us to think unconventionally and make the best use of our knowledge and resources. It was a great learning experience and a rewarding opportunity to represent our college on a national level, competing against some incredibly talented teams across the country. Looking forward to applying what we’ve learned and doing even better in future challenges. #machinelearning #hackathon #amazon
