STEMCortex Framework

The Council Exchange Board of Trade's Looking Forward Research and Development program works to delineate and communicate multiple domains of knowledge to regional economic ecosystems located in the U.S. and then internationally where appropriate.

LEARNING FOR ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT RESEARCH NETWORK (LEARN)

Education is born of the hope and desire that all may share in life and "be more". The Council Exchange Board of Trade's Looking Forward Learning for Economic Advancement Research Network (LEARN) aims to connect learning outcomes to industry needs both here in the US and abroad.

STEMCortex is a member led design based research project that works to innovate the connection between education, knowledge and ideas with CTE (Career and Technical Education) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) instructional pedagogies in public education. This applied research focuses on Title I schools in urban and rural communities with high minority populations.

PRAGMATIC CRITICAL PEDAGOGIES THAT BRING LEARNING TO LIFE

STEMCortex is a pragmatic yet innovative critical pedagogy that explores the process that best ignites the ideation of work and productivity in the classroom. It is an approach to teaching that promotes new methods where students are taken through a learning process that both brings learning to life and bridges personal responsibility and community gain.  

STEMCortex was initially conceived from an industry need for brilliance, capacity, and creativity among our minority community. The 21st Century knowledge economy brings the promise of high growth, high wage careers.

COMMUNITY DRIVEN CHANGE IN CULTURE AND CONTEXT

Access to these opportunities requires both a family and community driven change in expectations about work and preparation. STEMCortex explores the promise of Public Education as a change agent.

STEMCortex brings an opportunity for District Wide cultural change by shifting our focus from discipline to instructional guidance, directing students in putting into practice what has been taught.

Cognitive Theory Research on Career and Technology Education for Disenfranchised Student Populations

Parents are the central contributor to a child's education. PIBs bring voice to the fact that Parent Involvement must be a legitimate element of education and is a process not a program of activities.

Knowledge is Power!

"Process Not Program of Activities"

At the core of our "Common Governance" framework is a recognition of moral hazard in government bureaucracy and industry's role in job creation and knowledge transfer.

Our vision of collaboration ensures an increase in community access to workforce opportunities and resources.

Building on Data Decisions for Education Research (EdData)

EdData provides resources, innovative practices, professional development and industry focused guidance on design based ICT curriculum research and STEM-CTE content development. 

Given the great promise for data-informed decision making in the education sector EdData's team of Sr. Research Fellows bring industry and workforce subject matter expertise for STEM-CTE institutional curriculum research. 

EdData offers technical assistance to institutional researchers who are primary responsible for developing models, collecting and managing data, and interpreting and analyzing data, particularly with regards to outcome metrics.

EdData's industry focus includes perspectives on institutional investment strategies and partnership development algorithms.

EdData is currently forming partnerships with the HBCU/MSI community along with the communities they serve in targeted regions with high minority populations.  The longitudinal framework allows for outcomes studies that in part work to measure workforce entry success correlating student investment (time and money) to a developing career placement income and mobility index.
