Major Activities

Activity 2

Educational/institutional and systems change - some problems endemic to distressed neighborhoods,such as the deficiencies of urban public education,cannot be solved by discrete fixes at the neighborhood level. They demand the overhaul of major institutions.while the work that fce was doing with the dallas achieves commission was complete by the end of 2009, fce continued to be involved in the recommended workstream of early childhood education/parental involvement by maintaining the early childhood single point of entry website that we designed, developed, implemented and evaluated with a grant in 2009 from the department of education. Additionally, fce continued in a supportive capacity with dallas isd. With awards from nasa (2009 - 2011), fce, in partnership with the dallas isd, implemented a math, science and technology initiative in the school district and in a number of school readiness integration sites. The initiative focused on scaling up proven science, technolgy, engineering and mathematics(stem) academic programs that lead to high academic achievement and college and career readiness. Over the 2 year grant period, we directly impacted over 7,000 students, 1,300 teachers and every campus in dallas isd. With the science website integrated into the dallas isd system, we were able to indirectly impact every student in the school district, every teacher, and every campus. We purchased and placed over 700 computers, just under 700 nspire calculators and 50 other digital learning tools. We took students on two field trips to the johnson space center in houston, and held two stem symposiums presenting opportunities for both teacher training, and student field trips, and furthered partnerships between the area museums and dallas isd.
