The City of Chicago has announced it will create five new "early college" STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) schools for grades 9–14, based on the model of Brooklyn's Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH). EDC worked with the New York City Department of Education, IBM, and others to document the design and launch of P-Tech, as well as its first year in operation. EDC compiled lessons learned as the basis of the STEM Pathways to College and Careers School Guide—the IBM Playbook, which will be used to help guide Chicago in setting up the new schools.
