The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between attending one of the nine New York City (NYC) selective specialized public high schools and graduating from an honors college with a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) degree, compared with honors college graduates who attended any other high school. A causal-comparative study design was applied. The participants consisted of 1,647 graduates from seven honors colleges, from 2011 to 2015, in the northeastern United States. Of the 1,647 graduates, 482 students graduated from NYC selective specialized public high schools and 1,165 students graduated from other high schools. The study found a significant difference ( p < .05) between the two groups. A larger percentage of NYC selective specialized public high schools graduated with a STEM degree from an honors college than students from other high schools. These results support the positive relationship between attending a NYC selective specialized public high school and graduating with a STEM degree from an honors college. Results and implications are discussed.

Este projeto teve o objetivo de introduzir o aluno do Ensino Médio no cotidiano da pesquisa universitária na área de Biologia Celular e Molecular, com a expectativa de promover a aproximação destes alunos com o desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico e o ambiente universitário. Com a realização desse projeto, a Universidade teve a chance de adentrar no contexto dos alunos de Educação Básica, mais especificamente do Ensino Médio público. Esses novos conhecimentos podem criar a possibilidade de um futuro diferente, com mais conhecimentos científicos e instigando a reflexão a partir da rotina da Universidade e seu contexto. A experiência resultou na divulgação científica, no contato do aluno do Ensino Médio com o método científico e toda a técnica e objetividade que dele derivam, ampliando os laços comunidade-universidade. Palavras-chave: Educação; Extensão; Vivência; Experimento Científico   Project First Steps in Science: breaking social barriers and strengthening ties between the academic community and public high schools Abstract: In the present study, we intend to expand the discussion about different approaches of the University-School interaction, based on the presentation of an account of experiences with the First Steps in Science Project and theoretical reflections on the University context motivated by the lived experience. The project in question was developed by graduate students in Biological Sciences (Cell and Molecular Biology) at UNESP, Rio Claro/SP (Brazil), in partnership with Escola Estadual Prof. Marciano de Toledo Piza a public high school in the city of Rio Claro, State of São Paulo. This project had the objective of introducing high school students to the routine of university research in the area of Cell and Molecular Biology, with the expectation of promoting the approximation of these students with the development of scientific knowledge and the university environment. With the realization of this project, the University had the opportunity to better understand the primary education context of the students, specifically within public high schools. This new knowledge can create the possibility of a different future, with more scientific properties and instigating the reflection from the routine of the University and its context. The experience resulted in scientific dissemination, high school students' contact with the scientific method, and all the technique and objectivity derived from it, expanding community-university ties.

Background: High school sports participation in the United States has increased dramatically over the past 25 years. A corresponding increase in the number of injuries has been noted, particularly in contact sports such as football. This has led medical and sports organizations nationwide to advocate for proper medical supervision of athletes at games and practices. Purpose: To gather information from Chicago public high schools to gauge how medical supervision for high school sports has changed in 2017 compared with 2003. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Survey questionnaires were sent to the athletic directors of all 99 Chicago public high schools to complete via email. The questionnaire survey contained the same questions as in a survey conducted in 2003 by Tonino and Bollier, with the addition of 4 novel questions relating to emergency action plans (EAPs), automated external defibrillators, concussion management policy, and tackling progression drills. Results: The response rate was 66.67% (66/99 schools). Of the 66 responding schools, all with football programs, no school had a physician on the sideline at home games (decrease from 10.6% in 2003), 37.9% had an athletic trainer present (increase from 8.5% in 2003), and 63.6% had a paramedic available (decrease from 89.4% in 2003). In 2017, 65.6% of responding schools had a coach certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) available at practice to handle medical problems, compared with 89.4% in 2003 ( P < .001). Regarding the 4 novel questions, 93.9% of the responding schools had proper tackling progression drills in place, followed by 89.1% who had appropriate EAPs and 93.9% with concussion management protocols, including return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols. Conclusion: Although significant improvement was found in athletic trainer coverage, especially at games, physician coverage was lacking and fewer coaches were certified in CPR in 2017 compared with 2003. EAPs and concussion management protocols were present in most Chicago public high schools. Overall, greater medical supervision is needed, which we believe should come in the form of increased athletic training and physician involvement and coverage, given that expert, expedited medical care saves lives.

Guided by the concept of nepantleras and critical race nepantlera methodology, Nancy Acevedo presents the testimonios of Citlalli Bejarano and Natalie Ibarra Collazo, two Chicana students who attend urban high schools. Citlalli and Natalie share various forms of inclusion and exclusion that they experience as Chicanas attending private and public high schools in California. The article highlights a need for schooling experiences that acknowledge the intersectional identities of Chicana students, foster critical consciousness, and provide the opportunity for students to contribute to their education and the world.

Higher Education Policies

The higher education diversity programs that Texas enacted after Hopwood v. University of Texas banned affirmative action had unexpected positive consequences for the state’s high schools. The Texas top 10% law, the Longhorn Opportunity Scholarship and Century Scholarship programs, and the Towards Excellence, Access and Success Grant program each explicitly linked postsecondary opportunities to high school performance and clearly articulated that link to students across the state. As a result, these programs worked as K–16 school reforms, using college opportunities as incentives to improve educational outcomes at the high school level. Using panel data describing Texas high schools between 1993 and 2002, the author demonstrates that Texas’s post- Hopwood higher education policies redistributed college-related activity at public high schools and boosted high school students’ academic engagement.

To analyze the effectiveness of Mennonite religious high schools in transmitting religious values, the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values was administered to 124 Canadian high school seniors, 40 from religious Mennonite schools, 56 Mennonites in public schools, and 28 from students at a large public high school. Attending Mennonite private schools made no significant difference in the religious values held by Mennonite high school seniors. Mennonite boys and girls showed significantly higher religious values than a general sample of senior high school boys and girls.
