Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies (Ford PAS) Technical Assistance

In collaboration with EDC’s Education, Employment, and Community Programs, ERO promotes and supports the Ford PAS program. Ford PAS includes an interdisciplinary high school curriculum that challenges students academically and develops their problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. We provide ongoing technical assistance for all schools and partners implementing Ford PAS by hosting an interactive Web site and toll-free hotline, designing and conducting an annual national networking and training conference, and offering professional development activities. We also work with Ford-supported colleges and universities to build collaborations that enhance the success of Ford PAS within schools and communities.
