  1. North Carolina Virtual Public School STEM Region 2 Tech Directors Meeting By Del L. Ruff NCVPS Virtual STEM

  2. Purpose of Today Topics • NCVPS Virtual STEM • STEM For Students • STEM For Teachers • STEM For District • Becoming a STEM School in NC • STEM Q&A Goals • Provide information on STEM. • Provide information on becoming a STEM school. • Provide opportunity for dialogue about STEM and implementation. • Participants for non-mobile virtual courses.

  3. NCVPS Virtual STEM Funded by RTTT to develop 8 blended, PBL, mobile courses (STEM Math I, II, III, fourth Math, Earth Science, Forensic Science, and Biotechnology and Agriscience Research I&II) based on the Grand Challenges of Engineering . Face to Face and Virtual Teacher (Blended) College and Career readiness embedded (CFNC & Future 4 kids) Mobile (iPads, iBooks, possibly iTunes U) Professional Learning on device, content, and pedagogy (virtual)

  4. STEM for Students • STEM Curriculum Integrating lead into STEM career integration • Defined career counseling • Career Exploration in Elementary • Connection to post-secondary in middle and HS • Work-based learning experiences (co-ops) • Project Based Learning • Purposeful Integration of technology • Virtual Learning Supplemental potential (middle and high school) • STEM Literacy and Writing

  5. Examples for Students • Engineering is Elementary http://www.eie.org/ • The Engineering Place NCSU http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/theengineeringplace/ • Students keeping a lab notebook for writing • Students reading STEM journals and non-fiction as supplements to labs or projects. • Learning labs around STEM (building or virtual)

  6. STEM for Teachers • STEM Curriculum Integrating leading to cross functional teams • On-going professional learning aligned to a STEM focus • Professional learning on integration of all related curriculum in STEM • Project based Learning facilitation (no longer the main voice in class) • Performance and Project based assessments • Collaborative planning (open for effective use of technology) • Internships in STEM business and industry

  7. Examples for Teachers • NSF STEM Lessons http://www.gk12.org/ • Next Generation Science Standards http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards • Use social media to expand STEM network • Look for workshops that will provide stipends or are free to learn new skills: Museums, Research Centers, Local Colleges and Universities. • Develop Partnerships within local community through student presentations.

  8. STEM for Districts • STEM Curriculum Integrating leading to guided vertical teaming • Potential to create Learning Communities in which experts currently exist in house. • Professional learning can be developed internally. • Authentic assessments using resources available. • Development of partnerships (fiscal and in-kind) • Fiscal development opportunities (grants) • Regional impacts

  9. Examples for Districts • Project Lead the Way (PLT) http://www.pltw.org/ • STEM Learning Network https://www.ncstem.org/ • STEM needs assessment for K-12 from schools. • Designated STEM space locations (classrooms, library, areas outside, etc.) • STEM application and process to participate.

  10. Becoming a STEM School in NC North Carolina STEM Recognition ProgramElementary, Middle, and High Schools or Programs have the opportunity to obtain recognition as a North Carolina STEM School or Program.  In addition, they may become a North Carolina Future-Ready STEM High School or Program of Achievement. Use the STEM Attribute Implementation Rubrics to guide your school or program. The Rubrics outline quality indicators of each STEM Attribute and the varying depths of implementation. All eleven Attributes must be attained to be recognized as a quality STEM Program. http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/stem/schools/
