Table 5: ECHS Recommended Actions
Category Recommendation S PA T PT
1. Transition fromTraditional High
School to theECHS Program
Students should be aware of, and plan to complete,essential prerequisites before enrolling in the ECHS
Prospective students need to make an informed decisionabout the STEM focus of the program before enrolling
Course content needs to be scaffolded during the fall to providespecific remediation for students to prepare for project topics
Expose students to T-PBL prior to entering ECHS so thatstudents can make the shift from traditional educationlearning model [middle school and/or high school]
New student orientation should be structured tobetter describe the differences between traditionalhigh school coursework and ECHS coursework
New student orientation could include a workshop priorto the official start of the school year to help students
get to know one another and experience collaborativeteamwork essential for understanding group dynamics
Conduct a more detailed orientation for parents of new students thatprovides more information about T-PBL, collaboration, as well as thedifferent skill sets and overall learning objectives for ECHS students
Students recognize the value of hands-on work and want toexpand opportunities to support learning objectives
Students recognize the value of hands-on work utilizingthe building design and function as a learning tool
2. Communication Communication between teachers and parents should be moresystematic during the year so that parents are better informed directly
by teachers about progress and plans for projects and coursework
Create a student/staffdirectory with after school contact information
Foster early and ongoing communication betweenECHS and HVCC faculty to enhance course alignmentdiscussion throughout the school year
Communication about the ECHS program needs tocontinue to build interest and support at the local,regional and state level as the program grows
Communication with partnering school districtsshould focus on local student profiles in order toengage each of the new school districts and their localcommunities directly in the success of the program

Table 5: ECHS Recommended Actions
Category Recommendation S PA T PT
3. Program Structure Improve communication from administration to teachers andstudents throughout the school year regarding day-to-day activities
Providing opportunities for STEM professionals toengage with students on specific projects would bebeneficial for students to increase their understandingof applied science, math and engineering
Coordinate STEM professional speakers tobetter align with project topics
Students want time to collaborate during the schoolday apart from classroom work, similar to a study hallperiod; more time is needed to work on projects
Teachers should establish clear rules and consequencesfor classroom conduct and group work
Schedule short breaks during class periods; establish
time for lunch during the school day Shorter lab periods could be more effective for younger students
Scheduling between high school ECHS courses and HVCCcourses could be better balanced (e.g., courses offered byECHS and HVCC could be offered every other day)
Assess regional business workforce needs as the ECHS programgrows to better align the number of enrollees/graduatescompleting the ECHS program and HVCC STEM coursework
4. Student/Teacher Support
Provide more guidance on the process ofidentifying and applying for internships
Redesign CS laptops and other technology to improve student
resources for collaboration and project work during and after school Provide more training on CS tablets for teachers and students
Offer more than two courses; add a public speaking class
Students need to have options in selecting their course of study;this could help to give them a needed sense of empowerment
