CSS awarded $230,000 Classroom improvement Grant! In partership with PS125 another $50,000 for auditorium improvement

CSS has been awarded, by Scott Stinger- Manhattan Borough President, a major classroom laboratory improvement grant for the amount of $230,000! The grant will allow us to upgrade our existing Science Labs, renovate the new upper school classrooms, and purchase world class laboratory equipment for our accelerated Science and Engineering programs. This comes on top of over $2,500,000 in building funds awarded by DOE this year to renovate our 5th floor bathrooms and storage rooms; build a new Physics-Engineering lab in the 4th floor; and construct a new Biology-Chemistry Lab suite (a classroom, lab and a lab prep room) in the school's basement.

CSS Engineering Teachers Build for the Future

For the month of July, new hires Nathan Finney, Mark Schober, and John Eggebrecht join engineering Professor Philip Hubbard and teacher Andrew Stillman at the Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, Arizona, where they are taking graduate courses in physical science education and collaborating on the refinement and extension of CSS-MSE's unique 7-year engineering curriculum.

ASU's program, "Modeling Instruction in Physics" was designated in 2000 by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the seven best K-12 educational technology programs out of 134 programs evaluated, and was designated in 2001 by the U.S. Department of Education as one of two exemplary programs in K-12 Science Education out of 27 programs evaluated.  The immersive professional development model employed at Arizona State University Modeling Instruction program has data-proven effectiveness in transforming teacher practice in ways that strongly impact student learning.  The program has recently expanded its reach into Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology curriculum development.
