FEATURED
PROJECT:
Odyssey: 2025 for Math and Science
The Odyssey: 2025 initiative will create an
opportunity for Charlottesville and Albemarle
County educators to collaborate with our institutions
of higher learning and community partners
to create and share innovative and effective
teaching and learning strategies in math and
science. This important program will
• utilize math and science as the "new
literacy" to combat at-risk student
achievement;
• close the gap in opportunities for
girls in math and science;
• develop system-wide best practices
in teaching math and science;
• encourage greater student interest
in math and science; and
• support the economic needs of our community
by providing well-trained graduates
in the fields of math, science
and engineering.
This exciting program will begin in 2008 with
a Summer Academy where teachers and students
will research and develop new approaches for
math and science learning.
OTHER PROJECTS THAT NEED SUPPORT:
C-Quest
C-Quest
seeks, with input from teachers and guidance
counselors, to identify high school students
with exceptional promise who would like to
attend four year colleges, and to assist them
in attaining that goal.
Middle
School After-School academic and activity
program
An after-school academic and enrichment activity
program designed to operate in a school whose
students currently are unable to participate
in after-school activities due its rural location
and the transportation difficulties this poses
for parents and the school system.
Senior Volunteer Program
A program designed to connect seniors and
other volunteers with students in our public
schools. The volunteers participate in a number
of ways including working one on one with
students, working with groups of students,
participating in after-school or enrichment
programs, supporting teachers and librarians,
or other needs that a school may identify
and the program can match a volunteer to meet.
