LEARN ·2021 Grants ChallengeCrenshaw HS 3DE – Three Dimensional Education
LAUSD has approved JA SoCal to bring the 3DE curriculum model to Crenshaw public high school using real-life case studies that promote problem solving tied to CA core curriculum standards. The 3DE model helps students see connections between their knowledge, mindset and behaviors, and choices they will have in the future, increasing graduation rates. 3DE dramatically equalized educational disparities at other schools, showing increase of 4-year graduation rates from 62% to 92%, 38% reduction in absenteeism and 72% outperformance on state exams.
