ADVANCING WORKSHOP

9/20/17

Workshop Objectives

• Reflect upon your connection to the four pillars of STEM education

• Share experiences on Action Plan implementation

• Collaborate with partner schools to facilitate new connections

INTRODUCTION

Pathway Update

Critical Elements for STEM Implementation

Which do you think is the most critical when implementing STEM programs in your school or district?

1. Teachers/leaders buy-in

2. Aligning content

3. Assessments

4. Budget/resources

5. Maintaining partnerships

6. Diversity of students

PollEverywhere

STEM Education is defined by…

Inquiry-based science and math education

Integrated curriculum

Project-based group learning

Career awareness

Four Pillars Google Survey

With which STEM pillar do you most connect?

With which STEM pillar do you least connect?

How do you connect with the “most” pillar?

How could you connect better with the “least” pillar?

What Works

Allow for opportunities for modeling and mentoring strategies among a variety of teachers

What Works

Using the library! STEM based lessons using literature

Pitfalls to Avoid

Make sure you have a time set for meetings and direction of the team; we can meet forever!

Pitfalls to Avoid

Spending money on bells & whistles; don’t put the money you have in to

the wrong place; you don’t need “shiny objects”

Action Plan Goals Discussion New partner activity – 20 to 30 minutes

STEPS:

1. Briefly share your action plan goals with your partner; your partner should ask questions about your plan and its implementation to stimulate conversation.

2. Switch!

3. Complete the Pitfalls and What Works notes throughout the conversation.

4. Post the notes on the wall afterwards

Data Share Four Pillars of Stem Education

Here are the results of our survey:

Place Data in this slide once

Action Plan discussion has begun.

Reform back into district/school groups

Discuss how information gained can be used going into next year.

What are 3 takeaways?

How will these takeaways affect next year?
