Description

The school year marked the pilot of the Urban Scholars Young Women's program.

This program has been a long-standing goal of SJLI to be able to offer a program that alters the life trajectories for young women as it has done so for the original Urban Scholars program.

For the school year, the Young Women's Program will be offered at three school districts, including the Antelope Valley Union High School District.

The Young Women's Program is a credit-bearing class with 20-25 students, presented over two semesters.

The Program and Curriculum Coach (PCC) is responsible for facilitating the curriculum and program elements using the unit and lesson plans provided by SJLI.

SJLI will provide both the Program and Curriculum Coach and the Teacher-of-Record with professional development and training.

However, it will be the Program and Curriculum Coach who will be primarily responsible for ensuring that the program aims and objectives are met and that student participants matriculate through the lessons and participate in the program activities to the fullest extent possible.

The PCC is an essential part of the program team that implements the Young Women's Program.

The team includes the Academic and Career Services Coordinator, the school site Teacher-of-Record, the school principal on the school campus, the school counselor; and support from SJLI's Educational Equity Programs Director, Young Women's Program Manager, and the National Director of Programs.

The Program is also supported by Project Sankofa, who are our program, curriculum and training consultants.
