  4. Colorado Blueprint Overview

  5. COLORADO STEM ACTION PLAN • Education Leadership Council (Gov/Lt Gov) • STEM/Workforce Committee • Connects with Blueprint Objective V • Vital Signs report • Working Group • Great STEM Experiences • Great STEM Teachers • Great STEM Workforce

  6. Workforce Great STEM Workforce STEM Workforce • Ensure every student is on track to graduate postsecondary and workforce ready. • Ensure students graduate ready for success in postsecondary education and the workforce. • Increase achievement and national/international competitiveness for all students. Great STEM Teachers • Increase and support the effectiveness of all educators. • Optimize the preparation, retention, and effectiveness of new educators. • Eliminate the educator equity gap. Great STEM Experiences for Students • Increase access to in school STEM experiences and to extended learning opportunities in STEM • Inspire and prepare students through STEM experiences. • Attend to the opportunity gap Educators Students Priorities for STEM

  27. STEM CENTERS • BASEC (Boulder - Noah Finkelstein) • STEM-EC (South Metro STEM) • Pikes Peak STEM Consortium • Colorado Legacy Foundation • Expanded Learning Opportunities Grants • Xsci/Experiential STEM – UC Denver • Experiential STEM Conference 2014 • Roots and Shoots

  28. Colorado Blueprint • Regional Sectors • Key industries in regions Get Connected!

  29. STEM-O-SPHERE • Formerly STEMAPALOOZA with much added value • May 4, 2013 DU Magness Center • Jane Goodall Keynote • SHARE FAIR PD ½ Day (750 teachers by Invitation) • STEMOSPHERE – Igniting Creativity (7,500) • FREE – Maia Stone maia.stone@coloradocreative.org

  30. Final Thought… “Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch - what make you go beyond the norm.”

  31. Personal Action Plan • Based on today’s workshop, I am going to (list specific actions)… • Specific benefits I feel will come from my actions are… • Specific obstacles that may hinder my actions are… • One important bit of information I am going to share with my colleagues is…

  32. Thank You!! Have a Great Day!!
