  1. STEM EEA 2012

  2. STEM Practice Cards - Directions • Look over the cards at your table. • Choose 1 or 2 cards that reflect teaching practices that you engage your students in. • Discuss with your group how you use these practices in your teaching.

  3. Are Your Students Career Ready?

  4. STEM Education Develops Skills That Allow for a Deeper Understanding of Content Content Mastery

  5. Phases of STEM Development in MD

  7. MSDE STEM Education Definition STEM education is an approach to teaching and learning that integrates the content and skills of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM Standards of Practice guide STEM instruction by defining the combination of behaviors, integrated with STEM content, which is expected of a proficient STEM student. These behaviors include engagement in inquiry, logical reasoning, collaboration, and investigation. The goal of STEM education is to prepare students for post-secondary study and the 21st century workforce.

  8. STEM Standards of Practice (SSOP) • Learn and Apply Rigorous Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Content • Integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Content • Interpret and Communicate STEM Information • Engage in Inquiry • Engage in Logical Reasoning • Collaborate as a STEM Team • Apply Technology Appropriately

  18. Where Do I Find These? • These documents will be housed on your school conference on CLC in a folder labeled STEM Documents.

  19. School SIP/ MSDE Transition Plan • Last year’s goals (2011-2012): Awareness - STEM teams planned and facilitated activities in each school to spread awareness of STEM to teachers, students and the community.

  20. STEM ideas The next 6 slides will provide a snapshot of some ways we can extend the existing science units to provide more STEM opportunities for students…

  21. Kdg Engineering ChallengeQuarter 3 • Make a rain barrel at the beginning of 3rd quarter • Connects to Weather, Living Things, and Human Impact • Overview: Students will learn about weather, basic needs of living things, and how the weather supports life. They will explore how they can integrate mathematics, technology, and engineering to “capture” rain and use it to support life.

  22. Gr1 Engineering ChallengeQ3: Toys in Action • Make a physical model of a toy that moves. • Overview: Students will design and build a toy that moves based on what they have learned through the unit.

  23. Gr2 Engineering ChallengeQ3: Interactions • Design and build an insulator. • Overview: Students will use what they have learned about insulators to design and build a cooler to keep ice cold. In the interactions unit, students explore the effectiveness of a variety of materials. For the challenge, students build a prototype and test it.

  24. Gr3 Engineering ChallengeQ3: Heat, Light, Sound • Students will have a choice: • Design and build a buzzer, or • Design and build a periscope, or • Design and build an instrument • Overview: Students will demonstrate their understanding of heat, light, or sound by designing and creating a buzzer or a periscope.

  25. Gr4 Engineering ChallengeQ3: Closer to Home • Design and build a schoolyard habitat model. • Overview: Students will research the needs of Maryland native plants and animals to recognize and describe the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem and their competition for space, shelter, food, and water. Students will use this information and conduct investigations about weathering and erosion and its effects on an ecosystem to design a schoolyard habitat. Using this information, students will then design and build a “dream habitat”.

  26. Gr5 Engineering ChallengeQ3: What Can We Do? • Design and build a solution to a problem found on schoolgrounds. • Overview: Students will investigate the positive and negative impact of human activity on the environment and use their understanding to develop ideas about how to best clean up the Chesapeake Bay.

  27. Looking Ahead • This year’s goals (2012-2013): - With the support of the STEM team, teachers will play with the design and implementation of STEM practices and lessons provided by the STEM Professional Learning Community (PLC).

  28. Responsibilities • STEM PLC: - STEM teams will communicate important information learned about STEM from the county and the state goals to each school. • The STEM PLC will work together to plan one STEM unit for each grade from K-5 in science using the current curriculum for 3rd quarter. - Site-based STEM teams will be responsible for presenting STEM lesson plans to teams for implementation in the 3rd quarter.

  29. Responsibilities • Teachers: • Teachers will play with the integration of STEM standards into teaching practices. • Teachers will receive STEM materials/plans for a STEM challenge in the 3rd quarter. • Teachers will meet with the STEM team to review plans.

  30. 3rd quarter “STEM Challenge” • STEM challenges will be created by the STEM PLC teams to compliment existing curriculum using the planning guide.

  31. School Based STEM PLC:Professional Learning Community • Your School STEM PLC is the team working on the development of these challenges • 6 members (some suggested reps): Science (GenEd), Technology, Mathematics (GenEd), ELA (GenEd), Rel Arts, GT, or SpEd/ESOL
