[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can kids get an associates in engineering if they can’t get a 2 on the PARCC? What does that degree possibly mean?[/quote]

Sounds like a trash degree. [/quote]

You sound lovely. 🙄 This is what a modern G&T program looks like lady. [/quote]

How many of the high school students have completed that degree? Have any? That's more math than the most advanced students at BASIS are doing. [/quote]

It's in the early launch stage, so nobody has completed it yet.[/quote]

What's the plan for getting students to where they need to be math-wise? It's a two-year program so you'd have to do Calc 1 as a junior. Are any students coming in proficient in both Algebra and Geometry so that they can do Algebra 2 and then Precalculus in 9th and 10th grade, or is the plan to double up or do summer math? Is the goal to be attractive to student who previously would have gone to a different high school? [/quote]

Yes. UDC is working with Kramer and Sousa Middles to prepare students to enter 9th grade ready to go. Students will attend summer classes (and be paid so they aren't losing the economic opportunity of summer employment). UDC also has dedicated funding for additional professional development for math teachers at all three schools. There are a few students already at Anacostia with the necessary math background. The hope is that talented kids in the neighborhood can access programs like this without having to travel across the city.

How does this make sense?[/quote]

There are kids who are proficient or advanced in math who are zoned for Sousa or Kramer. They're the ones attending BASIS, Deal, and Hardy.  If you publicize an actual G&T program, like with scores for admission and a commitment to differentiation across the academic subjects, [b]you will get some of those kids.[/b] [/quote]

No, you won't.[/quote]

Ok, thanks for your input[/quote]
