One of four sites statewide
ECSU selected as Pre-College Program site;
involves area high school teachers, students
By Steve Smith
Co-Editor
ECSU has been selected by
the Board of Governors of the
University of North Carolina
System as one of four sites to
implement pilot programs in
math and science for mi
nority and female high school
students. Other sites selected
were the Greensboro Area
Mathematics and Science Ed
ucation Center; the Research
Triangle Consortium, which
includes North Carolina State
University, UNC-Chapel Hill,
and the N.C. School of Math
ematics and Science; and
UNC Charlotte.
The Pre-College Program
is a newly established pro
gram of the UNC Mathemat
ics and Science Education
Network aimed at increasing
the number of underrepre
sented female and minority
students who graduate from
high school with sufficient in
terest and preparation in
math, science and English to
pursue math and science-
based fields at the university
level. The program will be
geared toward the more than
500,000 female persons in
North Carolina between the
ages of 10 and 19, as well as
the more than 300,000 mi
nority persons in the age cat
egory. The three other sites
that have been selected will
target grades 6-9 initially and
expand to grades 6-12 by the
third year of the program.
However, ECSU will begin
with grades 9-12 initially and
expand to grades 6-12 by year
three.
As a Pre-College Program
site, ECSU will work with tea
chers and students from four
or five selected high schools
in the rfegion. Each of the se
lected high schools will create
an advisor team composed of
mathematics, science and
English faculty persons and a
counselor. This team will
^ work directly with students to
develop an understanding of
the concepts, academic skills
and self esteem needed to be
successful.
Students will participate in
structured tutoring, aca
demic career advisement and
personal advisement. Study
groups, field trips and enrich
ment programs are also
planned, along with special
activities such as science and
math competitions and spe
cial workshops.
High school teachers who
participate in the project will
be involved in summer insti
tutes and enrichment pro
grams that are designed to
help them motivate their stu
dents toward math and sci
ence based careers.
Parents, business and in
dustry professionals, and pro
fessionals in math and sci
ence based fields will be
asked to play an active role in
a number of ways, such as
serving as advisors, tutors
and role models for the stu
dents.
ECSU will serve in a coordi
nating role and will provide
the needed guidance and sup
plemental programs which
will aid all involved. This pro
gram is scheduled to begin in
early 1987.
