This is a program that I help teach through Barnard College. High School students are given the chance to become a step ahead of their peers and ready for college.

Here is the orriginal lesson plan that I used as a quick guide.

STEP was the main program that I did this summer but not the only one. I tested the curriculum I helped develop, on several groups of students.
