January 2012 Empire STEM Newsletter
Dear Friends, |
Empire STEM's first newsletter of 2012 features perspectives for the year ahead on discovering "systemness" and sealing the leaks in New York State's education pipeline from our new home at the State University of New York. Also featured is our first region-to-region STEM Learning Tour that introduced a study group from the Finger Lakes region to the Central New York STEM Hub, hosted by the East Syracuse Minoa Central School District and Siemens. Follow the links to explore upcoming statewide and national STEM learning opportunities that span the next six months along with our recent Tweet on a new national compendium of 2012 STEM funding opportunities. Thanks as always to our many contributors and to SUNY for its warm welcome! |

Calls to raise high school dropout age greeted with shrugs in CNY
Once again, "Ye Olde" Joe Clayton has bird~dogged a great article from this week's paper in regards to our discipline's role in the future of education.

Here is an important section from the article:
"...ES-M has had a relatively low dropout rate for years, but has seen modest declines since it raised the dropout age in 2005, DeSiato said.

Here is an important section from the article:
"...ES-M has had a relatively low dropout rate for years, but has seen modest declines since it raised the dropout age in 2005, DeSiato said.
Even so, she cautioned that simply raising the age without doing more to keep kids in school won’t work. “Students will remain if they are engaged in their learning and if they see it as being relevant to their life,” she said. Johns insists that the key is providing students with more career options, rather than following the current trend of trying to prepare every child for a four-year liberal arts college." What say you CNYTEEA?
