Specialization
Program Leadership and Coordination
An interdisciplinary team comprised of researchers, educators and industry professionals who will provide guidance for your programs and projects. We support project progress monitoring to help meet your project goals and desired outcomes. Conduct meetings or community and partner convenings to support assessment and measurements of the project as well as technical support for the communication and dissemination of findings.
Our team has demonstrated success in developing and implementing similar efforts at both state and national levels.
Program Research, Evaluation and Accountability
Research and evaluation will be planned and conducted in adherence to the Program Evaluation Standards of the Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation. The Joint Committee provides guidelines for program evaluations that are intended both for users of evaluation and for evaluators.
1. Establish long-term data management plan for evaluation and reporting
- Gather survey and analyze data
- Deliver program and impact reports
2. Establish stakeholder communications and advocacy protocol
- Improve internal communication, calendar and protocols
- Establish board development approach that aligns with strategic priorities
- Develop a communication “Style guide” including templates for flyers, webpages, emails etc.
Innovative Teacher Professional Development
ProGloBix Education uses a Participatory Learning Approach to foster the teaching and learning of concepts in mathematics, science and engineering to motivate and stimulate interest in STEM education and careers.
We target all teachers and have been especially successful with teacher development in low performing schools in rural agricultural and urban areas with a large population of underrepresented students.
We work with teachers and students from low socio-economic backgrounds to develop and enhanced project-based activities that are direct. We also use web-based platforms to support collaboration and communication among teachers and students. Here is how we do this:- Promote “Equity in STEM Education” through inclusive approaches to classroom instruction and developing cultural competence using the AKAS (Attitudes, Knowledge, Skills and Awareness) model
Provide actionable enrichment that compliments a curriculum
Coordinate workshops that fit into teaching schedules and timelines
Engage teachers as experts to adapt, refine and test enrichment
Provide resources with sustained and responsive learning opportunities through continuous collaboration and support
Career Connected Learning and Student Leadership Development
ProGloBix Education team works to develop a common understanding of the opportunities and challenges that impact education, workforce demand and growth.
We provide training and resources to build up the capacity of educational leaders and faculty as well as student leaders, to help them monitor and improve student achievement and success. We accomplish this through:
- Development of a cohesive plan for specific actions
- Collaboration with organizations such as Universities, Communities and Technical Colleges and industries to build pipeline capacity by streamlining and amplifying their efforts
- Creation of interdisciplinary groups to inform, mentor and help young adults plan and develop 21st century leadership and workplace skills
