Riassunto

Litow, a professor of practice in a school of public policy, and Kelley, an author and reporter, detail a school model that focuses on equity and helping all young people achieve academic excellence and career readiness: P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School), a collaboration among a public high school, community college, and business partner. The model gives access to a free, high-quality college degree in STEM to students who might not otherwise have it and creates a pool of qualified employees for businesses. They describe the origins of the program in Brooklyn; its high expectations and the research on the power of high expectations; the importance of equity, including same-race teachers, the shortage of teachers of color, and rebuilding a diverse teaching force, as well as student recruiting at P-TECH schools and the importance of no barriers to enter the program; its rigorous coursework designed to prepare students for college and careers; its support for learning, such as tutoring, comprehensive counseling, and community service; interactions with college and business partners in the program; leadership aspects; a story of how one P-TECH school opened and its first year; and lessons for broader reform.
