PK–12 educational opportunities
In neighboring University City, WashU’s Institute for School Partnership (ISP) is helping teachers at the Julia Goldstein Early Childhood Education Center weave rigorous high-quality math instruction into project-based learning. And at University City High School, Rowhea Elmesky, associate professor of education, collaborated with educators and students to reduce suspensions and increase attendance and engagement. Her work was recognized by WashU’s St. Louis Confluence Collaborative, which supports research and partnerships that strengthen the region.
Purposeful and intentional engagement with the community around us, paired with innovative and exceptional academic research, can create real, tangible change in people’s lives.
