New Early College High School (ECHS) Spotlight from EEDW (Extending Equity in the Digital Workforce)
“Q: What was the draw to the EEDW Project for Moreno Valley High School?
A: The Moreno Valley High School was founded upon the Paideia Education Reform Model proposed by Mortimer Adler and the Paideia Group. This methodology supports the same course structure for all, with no tracking of students. We believe the EEDW project will help us develop a sustainable program in our rural area. Because of obstacles such as housing, and a small population of students, IT coursework is not available in middle school, and we have offered only a few courses in high school. Through the EEDW model, students will have access to academic and career opportunities currently not available to them. When we found the pilot, we thought, “this is it!” This program is exactly what we’ve tried to build on our own.
Q: What value do you see in the EEDW project for Moreno Valley High School?
A: Giving our students access to industry professionals through workforce partnerships developed by EEDW will help our students envision career possibilities they have not yet considered. We hope to create a new career path for students in our valley, and a more equipped workforce for business partners here and around the state. With recent infrastructure improvements and the IT pathways we will build, our students may become entrepreneurs or remote workers. Providing successful, well-prepared professionals for post-secondary study or career work will draw more families into our community and develop financial resources within our community. “
