Youth CareerConnect In Massachusetts Massachusetts Advanced Pathways Program (MAPP) Marlborough Implementation October, 2014 1

PRESENTERS • Dan Riley – Marlborough Public Schools, Director of STEM Early College High School • Ayora Berry – PTC, Global Academic Program Manager • Mark Kobel – Marlborough Public Schools, Science & Technology/Engineering Department

MARLBOROUGH IMPLEMENTATION: Agenda • A Sense of Urgency • The Marlborough Model • Overview of Youth CareerConnect Grant • Integration of MAPP • Partnerships • Sample Pathways • Resource Allocation

A SENSE OF URGENCY “…fewer and fewer American students are interested, or able, to enter demanding science and engineering programs.” • 2006 fraction of foreign undergraduate students: § engineering reached 45% § computer science 44% § physical sciences 40% • 2007 fraction of foreign students receiving doctorates: § 62% in engineering § 73% in electrical engineering § 57% in computer science (NSF S&E Indicators, 2010)

THE MARLBOROUGH MODEL • Increase Access & Eliminate Barriers • High Expectations For ALL • 9 th & 10 th Grade Teaming • Interdisciplinary PBL • Connect STEM Through Engineering

YOUTH CAREERCONNECT Reform initiative designed to encourage school districts, higher education, workforce investment systems, nonprofits, and other partners to work together to transform the high school experience for America’s youth. Overarching goals: • Provide education and training that combines academic and technical curricula focused on a specific in-demand industry or career • Increase student employability at graduation • Prepare students for multiple career pathways that include: employment, post-secondary education, long-term occupational skills training, or Registered Apprenticeship

YCC PROGRAM CORE ELEMENTS 1. Integrated Academic and Career-Focused Learning 2. Employer Engagement 3. Individualized Career and Academic Counseling 4. Work-Based Learning and Exposure to the World of Work 5. Program Sustainability 6. Program Performance and Outcomes Our MAPP program is four years, serving grades 9-12.

GRADES 9-14 INTEGRATED PATHWAYS System Outcomes: Rigorous Academics Financially Secondary Pathways Postsecondary Pathways sustainable, aligned Stackable Credentials è and integrated 9- AA/AAS è 14(+) career BA/BS è pathway systems Accele r ation & College/Career Readiness through Dual Enrollment, Integrated Instruction, and WBL Increased number of skilled workers with credentials of value to the labor Low market Intern- Semi- Middle Advanced ships, Skilled Skilled Skilled Career and Skilled WBL Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Technical Ed.

Introducing Creo Parametric A 3D design app for solid modeling Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework, Technology/Engineering, Grades 6–8 2.2 Demonstrate methods of representing solutions to a design problem, e.g., sketches, orthographic projections, multiview drawings. 3.2 Identify and explain the appropriate tools, machines, and electronic devices (e.g., drawing tools, computer-aided design, and cameras) used to produce and/or reproduce design solutions (e.g., engineering drawings, prototypes, and reports).

Takeaways Product development is at the center of our • human built world The product development model allows for • interdisciplinary classroom activities and learning The engineering design process is vital to product • development Collaboration is an essential element for teachers • and students 3D modeling software is THE visualization tool for • professional and consumer communication

Applications • AT MMS we introduce students to 2D and 3D computer modeling • Scaffolding learning from grade 6 through ten in the STEM program • 3D modeling leads into 3D printing. MMS is beginning, MHS has an established program that utilizes 3D printing.
