COE hosts students from Jones High School
College of Education hosted students from
Jones High School
As part of
its community outreach initiative, the College of Education hosted
students from Jones High School on Wednesday, March 7, 2007 from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. These students are from the Math and Science Academy, and will be part of
the pilot group participating in the Dual Enrollment program with Texas
Southern University. The Texas Southern University/Jones High School Math and
Science Academy is a grant funded project, sponsored by the Thurgood Marshall
Scholarship Fund, an intermediary for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The project was awarded $650,000, to be paid over a period of five years.
Spearheaded by the Project Director, Dr. Tyrone Tanner, Assistant Professor in
Educational Administration and Foundations, the academy is a collaborative
effort between TSU and Jones High School (Houston Independent School District),
to create a smaller learning
community (SLC) in a low-income, low-performing high school and address the
basics of attendance, safety, respect, and to accelerate academic achievement,
graduation, and a desire for excellence. The goal of the academy is to open a
student’s mind to the relevancy of a rigorous
curriculum and show how high standards relate to success and to facilitate a
strong collaboration between the college and the high school.
As part of this initiative, Dr. Tanner coordinated four sessions for TSU/Jones
High School Math and Science Academy students on March 7. The sessions
included: (1) Tour of campus, (2) algebra, (3) geometry, and (4) study
skills/time management/goal setting. The
sessions were taught by TSU professors. These efforts, while stimulating a
desire for learning and excellence, will also hopefully, result in academy
students becoming alumni of Texas Southern University.
