One Southern California school district found a way to reverse the low representation of Black and Latino students in science, technology, engineering and math.
Reversing the disproportionately low representation of Black and Latino students in science, technology, engineering and math courses and careers is one of the most formidable challenges in education. The problem starts well before college because many students develop a fear of STEM early in their educational journeys. Remarkably, Compton Unified School District appears to have identified a solution.
Unlike in some corporate partnerships, Compton is the driver and has been clear about the type of support the district needs. “We see our role as making sure that students of color coming out of Compton have every ability they will need to participate in the global economy,” Supt. Brawley told us. When we visited Compton in the spring, we saw genuine excitement in classrooms and other learning spaces.
