Rhodes Learning Corridor

Rhodes Learning Corridor Strengthens Neighborhood Ties

The Rhodes Learning Corridor, an initiative to develop collaborative relationships for improved science teaching and learning in Memphis City Schools, is strengthening longstanding ties with some neighborhood institutions while forging some exciting new ones.

“I am tremendously pleased with the progress this program has made,” says President William E. Troutt. “The Learning Corridor helps to ensure the attainment of the third imperative of the Rhodes Vision. It has the additional advantage of strengthening our neighborhood by helping area schools remain strong and viable.”

Current Learning Corridor projects are:

Outreach for Middle School Students through Biodiversity Research at Memphis Zoo  
Outreach for Middle School Students through Archaeology Research  
Rhodes/St Jude Partnership to Prepare High School Students for Biomedical Careers  
Science is Cool Tutoring Program  
Storm Water Environmental Education Project (SWEEP)  
Visiting Teacher Program

For more information about any of these projects, contact Carol Ekstrom, Learning Corridor Coordinator.
