• Eisenhower High School is one of 28 schools in the nation to be selected to partner with
Northrop Grumman for the National Math and Science Initiative. The initiative is
designed to increase the number of students succeeding in Advanced Placement courses.
• Many students come to Lawton Public Schools from Fort Hood where four high schools
are part of the program. This provides continuity for those students.
• Forty-eight students passed their AP exams in 2010 and the goal for Eisenhower in the
spring is 107 passing.
• The program has open enrollment. Students are not kept out of the courses and teachers
are provided extra training.
• The school has Saturday sessions with experts from the fields.
• Students are provided money if they pass the tests and receive prizes for coming to
Saturday sessions. Teachers receive money also if students pass exams. In the past, some
students didn’t want to take AP classes because they were afraid the courses would hurt
their grade point averages. Now, the financial incentive draws them back in.
• The teacher training is valuable because teachers are connected with others teaching the
same subjects.
• A structured tutorial once a week gives teachers more time to teach and make up what
might have been missed with the interruptions of high school.

• Discussed the Motivation Acquisition and Extension (MAX) method of teaching and
demonstrated it.
• Reading is the solution to the problem in the method. Students share their knowledge so
all of them know the same thing and they share their questions. Then they dig into the
text to find the answers.
