How PAUSD Can Encourage Racial Diversity in Honors and AP STEM Classes

Public project summary

This research project will be taking a case study inquiry approach to investigate the causes behind the lack of underrepresented minorities in honors and AP STEM classes at Palo Alto High School. Minorities make up a disproportionately small fraction of the greater STEM workforce, which may be attributed to a lacking high school curriculum. Through the coding of interviews, this project hopes to turn the input of the community into a proposal for possible solutions.
