Since then, the Partnership has implemented six projects, one at each Lennox school, that help meet the Partnership objectives. In addition, several related projects have developed as a result of the liaisons established among these school, business and university communities. The underlying premise takes advantage of the scientists' and engineers' approaches to thinking about science, so that in the classroom students experience inquiry and discovery, much as the professionals experience in their own workplaces. Over time the volunteers get to know the students by talking about science projects, hobbies, and other engaging topics.
Volunteers organize and run after-school clubs for students.
The parent group was instrumental in developing the first Lennox health fairs, beginning in 1993. The purpose is to promote basic health screening for Lennox students and their families. The fairs, held three times a year, rotate among all the Lennox schools. The Goal of this project is to use partnership resources to help the Lennox School District establish rigorous standards for students and to enhance the fundamental knowledge, skills, and reasoning of the Lennox teachers in mathematics and science to ensure academic achievement for all Lennox students. Professional Development - The Professional Development project will draw upon individual and expert resources to share and critique ideas on the teaching of mathematics and science.
