Initiatives

Dual-Credit and the Accelerated College Education program

Initiative: Promote access and affordability to undergraduate credit curriculum for NYS high school students through the expansion of of Stony Brook University’s Accelerated College Education (ACE) program.
The ACE program provides opportunities for NYS students to earn SBU college credit while in high school. We plan to rapidly expand the program over the next three to five years through a combination of adding new high school partners  and adding new SBU academic courses/departments. ACE helps bend the cost curve of higher education, strengthens the ties between a high school teachers and university faculty in subject-aligned ways, and positively contributes to student confidence about successfully making the transition from high school to college.

Encourage a more strategic view of online education as an intentional learner-centered approach to expanding access to affordable and high-quality educational opportunities that closely align with workforce needs. Challenge deficit-minded perceptions of online education through evidence-based, innovative, and impactfulul courses and learning experiences.  Expand SBU Online--CELT enhanced instructional design model to support faculty and support growth in asynchronous, combined asynchronous-synchronous, and hybrid courses.

Pre-College Programs

Initiative: Reduce the inequity of awareness about the vast array of exceptional pre-college program opportunities that exist at Stony Brook University. 

Pre-college programs at Stony Brook come in a variety of shapes and sizes, offered throughout the academic year and during the summer. CPOE works to increase discoverability and affordability of these programs and expand access across the full range of SBU pre-college offerings. Our goal is to continue inspiring the minds and hearts of K-12 students through experiential learning and undergraduate research experiences that leverage SBU's academic areas of excellence and reflect collaborations with key academic partners, K-12 institutions, and community stakeholders.

Teacher Education

Initiative: Amplify the enormous success of the teacher education program at Stony Brook University through the School of Professional Development.  
This uniquely structured program has developed a well-earned reputation for producing some of the best middle and high school teachers across Long Island and the state of New York. Working with colleagues across the campus, we will work to leverage our extensive relationships with teachers and educational administrators across Long Island to ensure that they, their students, and their students’ families, are more aware of the opportunities and SBU program pathways that stand ready to educate the next generation of teachers.
