Essential Strategies and Delivery Systems of Every School

Sheli O. SmithPAST Foundation

PAST Foundation provides teachers with a process to deliver meaningful STEM education.

“Meaningful” differs for every learner and every teacher. The PAST designed toolkit and Knowledge Capture program enables entire communities to transform traditional classrooms and reach every

learner. The results are engaged students, empowered teachers, and a community actively

involved in student success.

My work at PAST focuses on

COMMUNITY VOICEKnowledge Capture: Understanding YouPAST ethnographers use a set of methods that identify issues, success, and constraints to help steer policy and drive successful transformation.

Setting the Stage

• Every school has the basic mission to deliver knowledge and prepare children to be successful adults.

• This is an ambitious undertaking.

• In order to deliver every school has a set of strategies, numerous initiatives, a toolkit of delivery systems, and after school programs.
