We examine how race, sex and poverty contribute to the likelihood of attending two- and four-year colleges in Chicago and Toronto. In each city, we use longitudinal data on high school students and their postsecondary trajectories in order to explore how race and sex may impact differentially upon their educational pathways. Our analyses are informed by an intersectionality perspective, wherein we understand that life chances are shaped by the various traits and identities that individuals possess. In Toronto, Black males are less likely than all other groups to attend four-year colleges. We also find that two-year colleges appear to fulfill a different role in Toronto than they do in Chicago; that is, serving populations who may have been tracked into non-academic course selections in high school. We contextualize our findings within the very different political, cultural, and historical contexts of Ontario and Illinois.

The University

The robotics stream of the University of TorontoDEEP summer program consistently attracts numer-ous motivated high school students. As instructors,we have developed an extensible low cost platformthat students can construct and enhance over asequence of courses. The platform provides anengaging medium to address many aspects of elec-trical, computer and mechanical engineering whilemaintaining a robotics theme. These include thetheory of electromagnetism, analog and digitalcircuits, software development and ultimately basicmachine learning. Students surveys conducted at thebeginning and end of each course were used to gaugestudent engagement and knowledge before and afterthe courses and provide evidence that the roboticsthemed approach is an eective method for teachinga broad spectrum of engineering material.

Agile Methodologies

Teaching introductory programming is a challenge regardless the audience of students. For high school students, this challenge could be even greater. Active learning methodologies have been shown as an acceptable approach to teach this topic. It has been observed that these methodologies are very similar to the agile methodologies of software development. This is the point of our discussion: how both approaches can be related to focus on the teaching and learning process of introductory programming to a specific public of students.

Parent Program

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.
