Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation (MCWT)’s Post

14 years after the P-TECH announcement by then New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg--Recent scholarship from MDRC, which used a rigorous, randomized lottery design, found that P-TECH students were more likely than other students to earn postsecondary degrees within three years of high school. Notably, the researchers found that this outcome primarily reflected impacts on young men. That is, the young women in the study performed about equally as well whether they were enrolled in P-TECH or not, but the young men who attended P-TECH did much better than those in the comparison group. Congratulations Friday, September 27, 2024 Happy Birthday Diallo Shabazz, head of the New York State Council for P-TECH CUNY-IBM To Open Unique School In NYC newyork September 27, 2010 / 11:25 AM EDT / CBS New York https://lnkd.in/eJz4Eiad Male Academic Performance and the Promise of Career and Technical Education MDRC September 2024 https://lnkd.in/epBfgSWr Rachel Rosen, MDRC "We believe that CTE leaders will be really interested in the positive impact that we're seeing for students who are participating in P-TECH. P-TECH 9-14 students signed up for dual enrollment programs at higher rates, attempting and earning more college credits than the comparison group students by the end of four years in high school". MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation 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. "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".

There is a value add to the return on investment when underrepresented students earn STEM degrees from no academic screening, no tests for admissions and no college remediation. On June 5, 2024, Pathways in Technology Early College High School experienced the 10th consecutive City Tech, CUNY commencement of producing CTE/STEM college graduates who are first in line for job opportunities with IBM. We are able to celebrate students earning both 2 and 4 year degrees from The City University of New York at commencement. Justin Andrew and Justin Bowdoin are just two examples of 2 and 4 year degree earners from the 84th New York City College of Technology's Commencement.

Over my last 15 years of educational reform, success has been redefined by the introduction of two innovative small high schools that offered a unique choice for students. Unlike traditional schools, these new institutions did not select students based on their past academic performance. This provided a realistic and accessible small school option for many students who had previously been overlooked. 2008 New Visions Annual Report https://lnkd.in/dvDP_ihR MDRC October 2023 P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation 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.

Years of empirical research indicate that taking dual enrollment coursework in high school can fast-track students toward completing a college degree after high school. Yet these programs often employ policies and practices that limit access to Black, Hispanic, low-income, and other minoritized student populations.
