  1. STEM Education in Maryland 2012 Educator Effectiveness Academy Middle School Principal Session

  2. STEM Proficient Students Can Do All Things!

  3. Women in STEM “If we’re going to out-innovate and out-educate the rest of the world, we’ve got to open doors for everyone. We need all hands on deck, and that means clearing hurdles for women and girls as they navigate careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.” First Lady Michelle Obama, September 26, 2011 http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/women

  4. STEM Principal Session Outcomes Participants will: • Develop an understanding of a systems approach to STEM education in middle school. • Receive resources for implementing STEM education in middle school.

  5. STEM Education STEM Education as 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.

  6. So, what does post-secondary study for STEM proficient students look like?

  7. Freeman A. HrabowskiPresident of UMBC 60 Minutes Report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsAYyf1BOOA

  8. Key Activity 1 STEM eea 2012 • Identify key practices, attitudes, and habits of mind that accounted for UMBC’s 41% graduation rate in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics bachelor degrees which is more than the national average of 25%. • Establish high standards • Engage students in research and investigation in STEM • Provide hands on experiences • Encourage student curiosity • Students should not be allowed to sit back and be bored!

  9. Look at the student to your left, look at the student to your right… Our goal is to make sure each middle school student transitions to high school as STEM proficient.

  10. STEM eea 2012 STEM is For ALL

  11. MS STEM Participant 3-Day Overview Day 3 Day 1 Day 2

  12. STEM Classroom Learning System • Understanding the STEM Standards of Practice via a detailed Instructional Guide for STEM implementation in the classroom. • Discovering key attributes for a STEM learning environment in the classroom. • Reviewing common quality management tools for instruction (affinity diagrams, force field analysis). • Receiving strategies for student reflection on STEM learning activities.

  14. Key Activity 2 STEM eea 2012 • Did you identify the STEM Standards of Practice in the video? • Think about how your school could develop a STEM program that integrates the STEM Standards of Practices for ALL students and throughout multiple content areas.

  15. How… do school-based middle school administrators purposefully plan for the quality implementation of STEM education?

  16. STEM Integrated Management System

  17. A Systems Approach: STEM Integrated Management System using the Baldrige Model http://www.nist.gov/baldrige/publications/upload/2011_2012_Education_Criteria.pdf

  19. Leadership System Component • Examine how your organization’s leaders’ (principal, leadership team, support staff) personal actions guide and sustain your organization. • Develop a STEM component to the school’s vision, mission, and goals. • Effectively communicate the STEM vision of the school to all stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, business community). Key Goal (2011-12 Education Criteria for Performance Excellence) STEM Considerations

  20. Small Group Discussion In small groups, review the next system components located in your binder. • Consider the STEM Considerations for each component. • What are your school’s areas of strengths? • What are some opportunities for improvement in implementing STEM education at your school?

  21. Freeman A. HrabowskiPresident of UMBC Look at the student to your left, look at the student to your right… Our goal is to make sure each middle school student transitions to high school as STEM proficient.

  22. STEM Criteria for Performance Excellence (adapted from Malcolm Baldrige continuous improvement model) STEM eea 2012 • STEM Integrated Management System • Every school instructional staff member (core, specials, library/media) focuses systematically and systemically on STEM education implementation in the school. • STEM Classroom Learning System • Every student is involved in developing the STEM Classroom Learning System. • Teachers work with students to take responsibility for their learning.

  23. Equipped With…

  24. MS STEM EDUCATION IS THE KEY • to engaging students across multiple contents • to reinforcing core contents • to promoting critical thinking, creativity, and innovation STEM For All Students Through STEM Education

  27. Strategic Planning System Component • Develop strategic objectives. • Convert strategic objectives into action plans. • Establish measurable goals to ensure that all middle school students have access to STEM Education as defined by the STEM Standards of Practice. • Identify Point of Contacts for STEM implementation. Key Goal (2011-12 Education Criteria for Performance Excellence) STEM Considerations

  29. Customer Focus System Component • Listen to the voice of key customers (students, parents, teachers). • Build customer relationships. • Use customer information to improve and identify opportunities for innovation. • Conduct focus groups or surveys of parents and business/community partners to determine level of understanding and expectation of STEM Education at your school. • Devise a plan to close the gap between stakeholder expectation and the STEM vision for the school. Key Goal (2011-12 Education Criteria for Performance Excellence) STEM Considerations

  31. Measurement/Analysis System Component • Examine how your school measures, analyzes, reviews, and improves its performance through the use of data and information at all levels and in all parts of your organization. • Encourage performance assessment (portfolios, projects, student presentation) for STEM applications. • Encourage the use of quality management tools in the classroom to improve STEM implementation in the classroom. Key Goal (2011-12 Education Criteria for Performance Excellence) STEM Considerations
