“This year, educurious experienced significant growth by expanding our implementations in schools utilizing our project-based curriculum, professional development services, and career-connected learning solutions. We are thrilled that we were able to serve more teachers and students across the country and increase our partnerships with employers to provide career-connected awareness, exposure and experiences to youth. By providing authentic learning in school and real work opportunities after and out of school, young people are better able to take ownership for their futures. The educurious approach takes advantage of today's technologies to coordinate a web of services that strengthen schools by training teachers as 21st century leaders and connecting students with working professionals on a wide range of challenging projects that fully engage them in collaborative, problem-solving work that ignites their passion and curiosity. We offer students new ways to discover the relevance of what they're learning. By leveraging technology as a tool and proven educational approaches, we developed and rolled out an integrated solution that brings innovation and support to classrooms, teachers, and the young people we serve. The educurious integrated solution captures the imagination and interest of students by combining project-based learning, technology, and connections with real-world experts, to create a meaningful learning experience that cultivates contemporary skills and readiness for college and careers. In schools that teamed up with educurious this year, teachers continued to hone their instructional practice to establish a student-centered learning environment in their classrooms, supporting their students on competency-based trajectories as developing experts. Students collaborated with working professionals who exposed them to a variety of professions and helped them connect what they're learning in school to skills required in the workforce. Learning became relevant as students solved challenges facing their communities while gaining the knowledge, skills and dispositions for college, career, and community success. Our results from working with over 70,000 students and 1,200 teachers in 14 states include higher attendance, grades, test scores, and lower rates of absenteeism and discipline. In addition, the students with whom we worked have changed self-images. Teachers had a renewed sense of enthusiasm and feel supported in implementing project-based learning in their classrooms. This was the fifth year of licensing our courses and providing fee-based professional development services to schools and districts. Our project-based learning approach not only facilitates student learning on core content areas, but also helps them develop contemporary skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Students work in a variety of learning environments both in-class and virtually, and independently and collaboratively with peers. We received a second-year grant from boeing with which will develop three addition units of career-connected, project-based learning for middle school students. We have had positive results from the three units created this year in cooperation with the port of seattle and look forward to increasing the number of curriculum units offered. We completed development of 8th grade history course called project america and have developed four of the ten units for 6th and 7th grade world history. We continued our work with empatico/kind foundation to increase implementation of elementary school resources to help 3rd and 4th graders connect with others across the globe and build empathy towards others. The educurious expert network is an effective way to connect those working professionals with students to help them develop these crucial contemporary skills and understand the vast array of career possibilities before them.
