Guiding and Preparing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Students

Project GPS² was developed specifically to increase awareness of the exciting STEM career opportunities, available both now and in the future, and encourage more of our nation’s students to take up a major in a STEM field.

Through fun events involving elementary through college-age students, as well as community and business leaders, we hope to ignite a passion for STEM in the upcoming generations. We have also developed crucial mentoring, tutoring and scholarship programs to ensure that our STEM students receive all the support they need to successfully reach their career goals.

Multiple Pathways to Student Success
a vision of a new California high school.

excerpt from the Introduction- "California must significantly improve secondary education because today's increasingly competitive global economy demands that we prepare all students to be critical thinkers, high-level problem solvers, and lifelong learners.  To address this demand, it is imperative for California to establish a new vision for its California high schools that combines both transformative new approaches as well as strengthened and expanded existing programs.  In particular, the multiple pathways approach has been identified as one of the most promising models for high school transformation.

As a systemic district wide high school transformation initiative, the multiple pathways approach is intentionally designed to ensure that more students graduate from high school prepared to take advantage of post secondary education and career opportunities without the need for remediation.  Within a district's multiple pathways system are individual pathways that each offer high school students four key components: an integrated core academic curriculum; an integrated core career technical curriculum; a series of work-based learning opportunities; and student support services.  The California Legislature, recognizing the importance of the multiple pathways approach, enacted Assembly Bill 2648 (Bass), which called for a report from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) to explore the feasibility of establishing and expanding the multiple pathways approach in California."  Read more here
