  • 2011-2012 Annual Report
    2012-2013 Annual Report In 2006, a group of committed educational and community leaders participated in--and won--a competition to attract the KIPP network of high performing charter schools to Columbus. In 2008, KIPP Central began enrolling 5th graders and opened its first middle school, KIPP Journey Academy, in the Linden neighborhood. Every student at KIPP Journey Academy had one collective goal: do everything possible to climb the mountain to and through college. With over 90% of them qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, college seemed like an unattainable goal, but they used every moment at KIPP to advance toward college. They read hundreds of books, solved thousands of math problems, and wrote countless essays. After four years of tireless work, KIPP Journey Academy promoted its first class of 8th graders this June. The Class of 2016 took the next step in their journey to and through college and enrolled at some of the top performing high schools in Columbus. Some even received scholarships to prestigious schools like Columbus School for Girls, The Wellington School, and Thomas Worthington High School. With the support of the community, KIPP Central Ohio was able to change the lives of these students. Although this was our first class of 8th graders, it will not be our last. We look forward to helping many more KIPPsters climb the mountain to and through college in the coming years. Judge Algenon L. Marbley Hannah Powell Tuney Chairman of the Board Executive Director KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program, is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and in life.

So many of you take leadership roles on your projects and act as mentors to those you lead. Even if you’re not taking a leadership role on a project, I bet you’re working harder than any other group there! Thank you for everything you do. Even the seemingly smallest volunteer task can make the world of difference to a group or an individual. As the year comes to an end, now is the time to enter your hours in the VMS system.

  • Technology in Geometry Classrooms and Its Effects
    The Views of High School Geometry Teachers regarding the Effect of Technology on Student Learning Honors Thesis Final Project April 2012 Melanie Lolli Ohio Dominican University Dr. James Cottrill Dr. Marlissa Stauffer Dr. Matthew Ponesse Lolli 2 The Views of High School Geometry Teachers regarding the Effect of Technology on Student Learning The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics claims that technology is necessary to student learning in math and, in fact, enhances it. There are some studies to support this claim, but these studies leave some unanswered questions. The purpose of this study was to find out from current high school math teachers, of geometry specifically, what their views of technology are. The goal of the study was to ask these teachers which technologies they use and whether they believe technology has beneficial effects on student learning. Data was collected for the survey by asking teachers to take brief electronic surveys and conduct in-person interviews. All questions in both the survey and interviews were focused on the effects of technology that they see in their classrooms. The scope of the participants was restricted to Columbus, Ohio, and thus, generalizations for any classroom or any school building cannot be made. However, this study did find a consensus among the participants as to which technologies they felt were the most beneficial in their classrooms, as well as those that might not be needed at all in a classroom. The three technologies that these teachers claimed to be the most beneficial were SMART boards, TI-nspire calculators and Geometer’s Sketchpad/GeoGebra.
