Gearing Up for STEM Education: Innovative Curricula and Outreach in 2008-2009

This workshop focuses on enhancing STEM education through novel curricula that will be disseminated regionally and nationally, supported by NSF grants. Our goals include broadening the impact of graduate fellows through outreach, in-service, and pre-service training. Participants will develop classroom-tested curricula and lesson plans aligned with standards. Activities include the Flash workshop at Liberty High School, collaborations with corporate partners, and sharing insights to communicate complex STEM concepts effectively. Join us in widening the pipeline for future STEM educators and experts.

  1. LV STEM workshopGearing up for 2008-2009 Glenn D. Blank Computer Science and Engineering www.cse.lehigh.edu/~glennb Support from NSF (Grants No. EIA-0638664 and 0624553) and Pennsylvania Infrastructure Technology Alliance

  2. Pressing on toward the goals • 1) Novel curricula will be disseminated regionally and nationally • 2) Outreach students broaden impact of Graduate Fellows • 3) In-service / pre-service training • 4) Corporate partners Overarching theme: Communicating complex concepts of STEM

  3. Novel curricula • Develop classroom test more novel curricula and lesson plans this year • A math or science coordinator should review them for standards • Fellows upload novel curricula & lesson plans to lvstem.cse.lehigh.edu (aka www.lehigh.edu/stem) • Fellows attending conferences should upload their conference papers • Teacher conferences? Other ideas?

  4. Outreach students • Formerly called Outreach Experiences for Graduates (OEGs) • PITA funding can support either undergrads or grads on an hourly basis • Learn a curriculum alongside a Fellow until he/she is ready to go to another school to help a teacher implement the curriculum • Teams will recruit and train their students and let Priyani know for payroll, etc.

  5. In-service/pre-service training • Flash workshop at Liberty High School • An LVCSTA (Lehigh Valley Computer Science Teachers Association) event • Wednesdays 3:30-5pm for five or six weeks starting September 10th? • Other in-service training ideas? • Need to get principal onboard, etc. • Pre-service assignments with College of Education students in the works • Also talk to your principal

  6. Corporate partners • Air Products at HMMS & Allen HS • PPL at Allen HS & Raub MS? • Crayola (formerly Binney & Smith) at Freedom? • Butz construction at Broughal MS? • Other ideas?

  7. Resources to widen the pipeline • Interactive multimedia introduces breadth of computer science, plus classes in UML and Java to noviceswww.cse.lehigh.edu/~cimel/prototype.html • Design-First with Java curriculumwww.lehigh.edu/stem/teams/dieruff • DesignFirst intelligent tutoring system designfirst.cse.lehigh.edu

  8. Theme: Communicating complex concepts of STEM • Team charters • Teams refine them over next two weeks • Fellows upload to the web site • Share them with principals and parents? • Communicating graduate research to K-12 students • Thanks, Melissa and Ray! • Who is next? • Other ideas?

  9. How can we work together to widen the pipeline in our schools? Discussion?
