Science Park High School in Newark is a magnet school that prepares students in grades 7-12 for academic careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. NJIT is now providing two professional staff positions to help manage the SPHS instructional technology network and provide instructional and technical support to the high school teachers. The Managers of Instructional Technology and Network Resources are physically located at the high school, report to the principal on a day-to-day basis, and are culturally part of the SPHS community. NJIT is also beginning to broker collaborations with the private industry tenants of Science Park. This unique triad with Newark Public Schools and University Heights Science Park is part of NJIT's K-20 Initiative. This presentation documents NJIT's vision of a high school and university collaboration in science and technology that will affect the pedagogy of both schools, and suggests how this model can be replicated by other institutions.
