Suggested Changes Necessary
Engagement in STEM (Grades 3-5)
Engagement Program a. Transition existing students in the K-2 pathway (after grade 2) and introduce new students (in grades 3 – 5) to NSBE Jr and SEEK; goal of 50% of the students from each region in the Awareness program enrolls in SEEK camps and increase NSBE Jr program participation in those same regions by 25% (key is align of camps and programs to communities where students are attracted from) i. The above items from #1 i thru iv remain and should now include modifications to address grades 3 – 5 (PCI and SEEK leadership, Comms expanded, curriculum/toolkit and metrics/performance management (accountability) ii. Signature programs are SEEK and NSBE Jr. – both should be reviewed and updated to adopt more integration within the organization (pull) and a transition (push) to development program grades 6 to 8. Showcase the ROI for students to want to continue with NSBE Jr and they graduate from SEEK to development program (incorporate NSBE Jr more into SEEK content) Considering the NSBE ecosystem, PCI stakeholders will initially look at the most thriving SEEK cities to advance this new strategy. In a later phase, the remaining (but still maturing) cities can be incorporated into the new strategy with the benefit of early lessons and their potential for sustainability. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Strategic Communication to enable the ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM: Currently, the Pre-Collegiate (PCI) area relies on the following communication tactics - website information, SEEK communication sent out via NSBE magazine, local new features and NSBE SEEK Instagram through NSBE Jr. Advisors. The PCI Strategic Direction workgroup proposes the following: Start Small: New Communication Experiments • Create programmatic tactics to deliberately convert SEEK attendees into NSBE Jr. members; • Further develop the “NSBE Jr. Night” feature in the current SEEK curriculum; • Shift focus to Key Local Area growth vs. National Growth focus; • Explore the development of uniform metrics/dashboard and tracking systems (leveraging Dr. Rochelle Williams). Future Focus Develop the following program elements and student-centric toolkits to strengthen program delivery and systematize communication with the PCI ecosystem and across key stakeholders: • Implementation steps • Best practices • Case studies
