How Compton is Putting Students on Path to Prized STEM Careers
Listen to the Episode
One of the most formidable challenges in education is how to reverse the disproportionately low representation of Black and Latino students in STEM courses and careers. Remarkably, Compton Unified in Los Angeles County, a district that two decades ago was under state control, is showing how that can be done.
In this podcast, the second in a two-part series, our host, renowned educator and scholar Pedro Noguera, Dean of the Rossier USC School of Education, and veteran journalist Louis Freedberg look at how, over the past decade, the proportion of Compton students planning on STEM careers has leaped from one in four to just over half. We take you inside two schools to give you an inside look at what Compton is doing.
This episode of“Sparking Equity,” with hosts Pedro Noguera and Louis Freedberg, was produced before the podcast was rebranded “Education on the Line.”
