One year ago, I stepped into the role as President and CEO of DeVry University, a place I’ve been proud to call home for 20 years. This past year has been nothing short of transformative—not just for me, but for the university and for everyone who became part of our learning community. Those who know me know that I've always believed in the power of education to change lives, but this year brought that belief into sharper focus. Every decision made has been driven by one question: How can we better serve both students and partners? From launching new AI courses at lightning speed to maintaining our commitment to affordability, it’s been a year of listening, learning, and relentless action. In a recent Q&A, I shared more about what this year has taught me: the importance of transparent communication, the urgency of innovating at pace, and the ongoing challenge of breaking down barriers to education.  It reinforced the importance of looking ahead—balancing the demands of today while making decisions that shape our future and position DeVry for what's next. Our work is far from over which is why I am more energized than ever for what's to come. If you’re interested in hearing more about my reflections, I invite you to take a look at the full Q&A.

At Hopscotch, we cultivate a balanced approach to education by blending autonomy with guidance 🙌 Each child receives a personalized academic plan designed to empower them. We integrate subjects, encouraging systems thinking, which enables students to view education as an integral part of their personal journey rather than separate from it. Let's take a closer look at our approach: 1⃣ Large Group Presentations Teachers utilize interactive lectures and demonstrations in the classroom to introduce new concepts, spark discussion, and foster a sense of community. 2⃣ Small Group Activities Collaborative learning in smaller groups with 2-4 people promotes teamwork and provide opportunities for students to learn from one another. 3⃣ Individualized Lessons Teachers tailor weekly lesson plans to meet the unique needs, learning style and pace of each student. 4⃣ Real-Life Learning Experiences Practical, hands-on activities are integrated into lessons to make learning more relatable and applicable in everyday life. 5⃣ Project-Based Learning Students engage in meaningful projects that aid in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 6⃣ Student Notebooks & Portfolio Development Students maintain records of their learning progress, reflections, and achievements. As a result, our students acquire more than just knowledge; they become self-motivated to learn! #hopscotchmontessorischool #montessori #montessorischool #montessorieducation

School Improvement Grant (SIG) and Transformation Rashid Ferrod Davis’s leadership-member of P-TECH’s design team and role as founding P-TECH principal showcases the significance of having a vision that goes beyond the traditional exercise of power. By focusing on creating opportunities for underserved communities Davis has shown how vision can lead to transformative change. MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success: Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic.

Can you believe it? From just an idea in 2010, Pathways in Technology Early College High School has now expanded to a whopping 28 countries, 13 states and this month California joins Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island and Texas with P-TECH college graduates. P-TECH has been transforming education and empowering young minds since its inception. By bridging the gap between high school, college, and the workforce, P-TECH is revolutionizing the way we prepare our future leaders for success. And guess what? MDRC now has produced P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success from the 7 P-TECHs in NYC Department of Education The results speak for themselves....... "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/eZ5d8VF8. #weareptech #skillsfirst #skillsbuild #skills2030 PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM IBM iX New York State Education Department New York State Higher Education Services Corporation Lumina Foundation www.ptech.org

🚀 Continuing the GRAUC Journey: 2018 - 2023 🚀 As we wrap up our series on the history of GRAUC, let's reflect on the incredible strides we've made from 2018 -2023: 1️⃣ Advocated for PTECH: Our commitment to innovative education led us to advocate for PTECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School), paving the way for transformative learning opportunities. 2️⃣ GRAUC Simulation Collaborative: We brought together a diverse array of stakeholders through the GRAUC Simulation Collaborative, fostering collaboration among institutions like Winona State University, University of Minnesota Rochester, Rochester Community and Technical College, and many more. 3️⃣ Secured Funding: Through diligent efforts, we secured $110,000 in funding to support the vital work of the GRAUC Simulation Collaborative, demonstrating our dedication to advancing simulation-based education. 4️⃣ Addressing the Impact of COVID-19: Amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, GRAUC provided platforms for learning and sharing, exploring the multifaceted effects of COVID-19 on education, business, employment, and beyond. 5️⃣ Postsecondary Festival: We co-sponsored the GRAUC/Southeast Service Cooperative Postsecondary Festival, empowering students with valuable insights and opportunities for their academic and professional journeys. The journey of GRAUC from 2018 to 2023 has been marked by innovation, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to shaping the future of education.

I could NOT be more pumped for the work, design and growth Black Boys in Tech, Families Forward and the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative (University of Cincinnati, College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services at the University of Cincinnati) are investing and building as we works towards a holistic, engaging, and cross curricula-focused, long term STEM continuum and after school programs into Cincinnati’s K12 schools. I visited Withrow High School (Cincinnati Public Schools) and the project they are working on is incredible. This was the first day of their final project for the year. We will continue working on this over the last 1.5 months of school, as these students apply: 1.) Critical thinking and planning skills related to today’s real life needs for our growing tech-focused future 2.) Utilizing and implementing the Scientific method and exploration (trial and error) strategies to problem solve and deliver successfully based on the scenario they picked and the step-by-step process 3.) Building and flying of their drones, accompanied by eventual 3D printing components to accompany their drone creation objective It is pretty wonderful to be a part of this team pursuing, implementing and designing equitable, exciting, and crucial opportunities to enable real equitable access and bright futures for ALL students! #STEM #Cincinnati #UniversityofCincinnati #TechClubs #BBIT #GCSC #CurriculumDesign #Education #Equity
