To that end, we seek the following: to procure Internet enabled devices in the amount that would allow for all core classrooms throughout the district to enact blended learning practices; to secure year-long professional development that is embedded into classroom practices; to implement progress monitoring programs that correlate with the district goals and to appropriate funds for the implementation of a high school course of study focused on the gaming/app creation model developed at Carnegi | 3582 | [NAME] | Edgewood City School District | 3440 Busenbard Road Trenton Ohio 45067 | 513-86304692 ext 1081 | [EMAIL] | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | 822036.06

Since the two major reasons students leave school are boredom and the inability to "catch up", the consortium seeks to take a different approach to improving academic achievement with the development of a Mastery-Based Learning (MBL) infrastructure using a set of quantitative and qualitative analytics to define and measure the understanding of skills and concepts within Ohio standards (including CCSS). Additionally, the infrastructure will include a reward aligned to the mastery of competencies in the forms of points and digital badges, standardized across the system aligned to the sets of competencies to be mastered; with the entire revolutionary infrastructure disseminated for all to acce | 13075 | [NAME] | Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow | 3700 S.

Academic achievement will be improved by providing teachers a comprehensive digital assessment and instructional platform that provides the functionality necessary to deliver personalized intervention solutions for students in grades 3-5 math, as well as students who did not meet the Third Grade Reading Guarantee to get them back to grade level. To address the needs of students in both content areas, the assessment functionality of the platform will include formative and summative testing with detailed standards-based analytics identifying specific instructional needs, wh | 700 | [NAME] | The Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT) | 3700 South High St., Columbus, OH 43207-4083 | [PHONE] x2271 | [EMAIL] | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | 905885

Most students earn significant college credits before graduation. However, annually 15% of Metro Early College High School students demonstrate such deep achievement gaps they struggle to meet Metro's highly rigorous mastery standards and are never able to experience college coursework. In 2013, Metro added grades 6-8 as a strategy to allow them more time to help students overcome achievement gaps. Metro's middle school students are entering with even greater gaps than anticipated. Metro's goal is for 100% of their students to complete their HS required coursework by end of 10th grade. In order to achieve that goal, Metro will implement a blended learning approach in grades 6-10 so they can accelerate remediation for middle school students performing below grade level and more quickly remediate all students who do not attain course mastery. This approach will incorporate online-guided instru | 373 | Meka Pace | Metro Early College High School | 1929 [NAME], Columbus, OH 43210 | [PHONE] | [EMAIL] | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | 920530

Finally, we expanded our already recognized career technical education by opening our Center for Arts and Industry which houses additional programs such as (but not limited to) fashion and costume design, film and animation production as well as sound recording technology; all are applied courses that continue our mission of integrating arts and academics in a high-quality educational environment centered on student success. | 700 | [NAME] | Toledo School for the Arts | 333 Fourteenth St Toledo, OH 43604 | (419) 246-8732 ext. 228 | [EMAIL] | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | 989325
 | 065268 | Tri-Rivers | Marion | 168 | [NAME] | The United States and Ohio, in particular, face a skills gap. A 2011 Manpower survey found the number of employers struggling to fill positions is at an all-time survey high. The survey documented that 52 percent of U.S. employers are experiencing difficulty filling mission-critical positions, up from 14 percent in 2010. Skilled trade jobs, which require more than a high school diploma but not a four-year degree, featured prominently among the top ten "hardest to fill" jobs of 2011, with skilled trades topping the list. Taking immediate steps to address the skills gap is an educational and economic necessity for Ohio. Many emerging jobs in critical sectors such as health care, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing will require higher math and analytical skills than the trade jobs of the past. States that adopt policies that expand access to education and training for workers at all levels will be positioned to meet the growing demand for higher skills and credentials.
