  1. Publish Your K-12 Engineering Curriculum via the TeachEngineering Digital Library Jacquelyn Sullivan Associate Dean College of Engineering & Applied Science University of Colorado Boulder

  2. TeachEngineering Purpose To become a national platform for user-generated K-12 engineering science and design curricula. Inquiry-based lessons and hands-on activities enable teachers to make the creativity of engineering – and its relevance to the lives of youth – come alive. • TeachEngineering contents: • 57 curricular units • 348 lessons • 599 hands-on activities • From 19 institutions • …and growing monthly

  3. TeachEngineering Features All 50 states; international ITEEA National (McREL, AAAS, NSES, NCTM) • Standards-aligned  • Dynamic, ongoing cross-alignment • Organized by: • Hands-on activities • Lessons • Multi-week curricular units • Flexible search engine • Free for teacher use • Incorporates NAE Changing the Conversationmessaging in every lesson/activity • Welcome submissions from all institutions for peer review and publication

  4. Your program • NAE CTCmessaging

  5. TeachEngineering Usage History • Accessed by 489,805 different users in 2010 • During the first half of AY 10-11, usage averaged 64,289 unique users per month (up 29%) • Usage tracks to the K-12 academic year • Recognized by NSDL in 2010 for top quality (of 121 collections) • Teachers provide feedback  continual improvement

  6. Why would you want to publish in TE? • National (and beyond) dissemination of your work to large teacher base for broader impact • Join the 34 other engineering colleges creating something great for K-12 educators and learners • Quality recognition and control • Continual standards realignment • Expanding features across collection • ITEEA standards • NAE Changing the Conversation messaging • Continual backbone maintenance

  7. Engineering Categories • Goal: To accommodate differences in how programs introduce engineering to K-12 learners • Meet one of three Engineering Categories: • Category 1: Relating science or math concept(s) to engineering • Category 2: Engineering analysis or partial design • Category 3: Complete engineering design process • Indicated by a 3-dot system

  8. How do I publish? • Create and classroom-test your K-12 engineering curricula ~ must be original work ~ • Format your material into the TE Word templates • Flexible to incorporate different teaching styles within common core requirements  results in standardized TE “look-n-feel” • Conduct an internal review prior to TE submission to improve your success in the review process • Agree to allow others to freely use your lessons and activities for educational purposes

  9. Authoring guidance documents • Tips & suggestions • Reviewer rubrics • Templates

  10. Review and Publication Process • Submit documents in Word templates • Editor looks at submissions to make sure they are complete and ready for review • Documents sent to reviewers (like a journal) • K-12 Content Review – Teacher uses rubric to ensure quality, readability and usability by teachers • Engineering Review – Engineer or upper-level engineering student uses rubric to evaluate technical content and determine engineering category • TE provides a final edit of the document and converts it from Word to the website format
