CADD CTE Proporal Sarah 09 12 18 Baltimore City College CTE Innovation Grant Submission CADD LDC A. Describe the activity and the need to implement it: 1. Describe the CTE Curriculum Framework aligned to the CTE Pathway: This project develop a Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) curriculum framework aligned to the CTE pathway for selected senior students from five Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) high schools to Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) by implementing the recently launched new CADD certificate curriculum. Innovative activities include: • Selected BCPS senior students earn dual articulated credit (up to 9 college credits) towards the CADD certificate program at BCCC for successfully completing three CADD courses (Drafting I, Drafting II, and Drafting III) offered at BCPS high schools; • CADD CTE pathway students will take the remaining three courses (PRE 100, CADD 111 and CADD 211) required for CADD certificate program during summer 2019 at BCCC. • CADD CTE pathway program team will assist students obtain internship with industry partner; • Graduates of the CADD certificate CTE pathway program will have the option of joining the workforce or to continue with the CADD AAS degree program at BCCC by transferring 100% of credits earned in the CADD certificate program without losing any time and resources. 2. Fiscal Sponsor: Baltimore City Community College is the fiscal agent for this project. 3. Economic Need for program: The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulations Maryland Occupational job outlook for 2012-2022 projects 3,303 openings for drafters, engineering technicians, and mapping technicians. During the same decade Maryland occupational job outlook projects 18,019 openings for architecture and engineering occupations.1 The Baltimore Regional Talent Development Pipeline Study 2013 reports that most of the growth in the business services sector is expected to come from the architecture and engineering, computer systems design, consulting services, research and development, and corporate and divisional headquarters industries. Each of these industry categories will contribute over 1,000 new jobs to the regional economy between 2012 and 2020. For business services from 2012-2020 the pipeline study projects 46,787 in total hiring demand including turn over. Within the business services sector the study finds engineering technicians and drafting occupations as one of three groups of occupations that offer good potential for career pathways development. According to the pipeline study between 2012 and 2020 employers in the region are expected to hire nearly 1,500 jobs in high-paying engineering technology and drafting occupations.2 Graduates of the CADD certificate program are qualified for employment as CADD associates, working alongside engineers and architects in the modern design process. Occupations using these skills include engineer, designer, drafter, manufacturer, assembler and fabricator, interior designer, animator, CADD programmer, and others.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • The First One Hundred Years
    The Maryland‐District of Columbia‐Virginia Section of the Mathematical Association of America: The First One Hundred Years Caren Diefenderfer Betty Mayfield Jon Scott November 2016 v. 1.3 The Beginnings Jon Scott, Montgomery College The Maryland‐District of Columbia‐Virginia Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) was established, just one year after the MAA itself, on December 29, 1916 at the Second Annual Meeting of the Association held at Columbia University in New York City. In the minutes of the Council Meeting, we find the following: A section of the Association was established for Maryland and the District of Columbia, with the possible inclusion of Virginia. Professor Abraham Cohen, of Johns Hopkins University, is the secretary. We also find, in “Notes on the Annual Meeting of the Association” published in the February, 1917 Monthly, The Maryland Section has just been organized and was admitted by the council at the New York meeting. Hearty cooperation and much enthusiasm were reported in connection with this section. The phrase “with the possible inclusion of Virginia” is curious, as members from all three jurisdictions were present at the New York meeting: seven from Maryland, one from DC, and three from Virginia. However, the report, “Organization of the Maryland‐Virginia‐District of Columbia Section of the Association” (note the order!) begins As a result of preliminary correspondence, a group of Maryland mathematicians held a meeting in New York at the time of the December meeting of the Association and presented a petition to the Council for authority to organize a section of the Association in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

    Determined to SUCCEED 2016 Annual Report JULY 1, 2015 - JUNE 30, 2016 MISSION: Central Scholarship is devoted to helping individuals achieve a better life through higher education. We believe that education is a right, not a privilege and that scholarships are an investment, not an expense. COVER STORY: FOUR EXTRAORDINARY LIVES Our cover page features the photographs of four extraordinary people whose stories illustrate the mission of Central Scholarship. Lillie Straus, Cyndicy Yarborough, Nikki McNeil and Samuel Witten never met each other, but each one shares in an important slice of our mission. Lillie was the first Vice-Chairperson of Central Scholarship. Her appreciation for education continues today through scholarship awards from the Aaron and Lillie Straus Foundation. Samuel Witten and his late father Benjamin Witten, represent two generations of recipients whose educations were made possible through interest-free loans from Central Scholarship. Nikki and Cyndicy are two more recent student recipients whose lives have been brightened by academic and career training scholarships. Nikki is a community organizer, helping people living in Baltimore City. Cyndicy is a successful career training graduate with aspirations to continue her studies and advance her career. Together, these four unique people reflect our enduring mission to provide educational opportunities to people. Cover photos: Lillie Straus: Jewish Museum of Maryland “ I Got the Job!”: Jane Addams Resource Center Dear Friends, The bill passed! We have exciting news, hot off the press, as we prepare to go to print with this year’s annual report. On April 18, 2017, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed into law a bill that restricts scholarship award displacement at four-year public colleges and universities.

  • The Role Guidance Counselors Play in Preparing Urban and Suburban High School Students for Post-Secondary Education
    THE ROLE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS PLAY IN PREPARING URBAN AND SUBURBAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Counseling Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Regina L. Robinson, B.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 4, 2011 THE ROLE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS PLAY IN PREPARING URBAN AND SUBURBAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION Regina L. Robinson, B.S. Mentors: Mr. Richard Duke and Dr. Elizabeth Duke ABSTRACT Despite the efforts of urban and suburban high schools to break down barriers that exist in preparing students for post-secondary education, there is still progress to be made. Urban school counselors face barriers that do not exist in suburban schools in terms of the availability of resources, funding, economic status, social class, and ethnicity. In 2001, American School Counseling Association (ASCA) adopted the National Model for School Counseling to provide counselors with a framework for building, implementing, and evaluating school counseling programs. This thesis will analyze the differences in access to, and quality of, student counseling in urban and suburban schools, and the effects on student achievement in preparation for post-secondary education by comparing four high schools in Urban Baltimore City with four high schools in Suburban Baltimore County. The history, background and data will show that differences within urban and suburban educational systems exist when preparing students for academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of high school counselors in increasing student access: • As counselors strive to meet the challenges and demands of improving achievement by exploring the role parents, school staff, and experiences (in accordance to race, socioeconomic status and the challenges of today’s cultural population) play in educational planning for all students, not just those who are motivated.
