Outcomes

• Principals will:– receive an overview of the EEA 2012

Elementary STEM Content Sessions.– analyze the attributes of a “STEM Learning

Environment.”– identify the role of the teacher to plan,

monitor, and evaluate STEM activities in the classroom.

– examine the administrator’s role to incorporate STEM in the content areas.

STEM Learning Experiences

Stop, Think, Ask, and Connect (STAC)

T

A

C

SStop during your STEM learning experiences to check for understanding and connect content.

Think about the content, practices and/or processes you will use or are using during your learning experiences.

Ask yourself and/or others questions to clarify expectations, to investigate global issues, or to solve real world problems or challenges.

Connect learning experiences to global issues, problems or challenges.

How to Begin a STEM Lesson or Unit

1. Start with the content (e.g. Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Social Studies, English Language Arts, Fine Arts, Library Media, Physical Education…).

2. Enduring Understanding: Identify a real world problem.

3. Essential Questions: Begin to ask questions that would explore the problem and eventually solve the problem.

4. Transdisciplinary Connections. Students ask questions, investigate global issues, solve problems or meet challenges that connect to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and other disciplines.

5. STEM Standards of Practice: Engage in meaningful, purposeful, and relevant STEM activities using the Stem Standards of Practice Framework Instructional Guide; student skills and knowledge, instructional notes and examples, resources, and glossary.

Pre-Planning Processes

Title: This is descriptive statement about the lesson/model/unit Teacher:

Overview: This is a summary of what students will learn in the unit. It explains the unit’s focus and real world connections.

Grade:

STEM Standards of Practices: Engage in meaningful, purposeful and relevant STEM activities using the Stem Standards of Practice Frameworks; student skills and knowledge indicators, instructional examples, resources and glossary. STEM proficient students will be able to apply all seven Standards of Practice when demonstrating how to answer complex questions, to investigate global issues, and to develop solutions for challenges and real world problems.

Content Standards

Science Technology Engineering Design Process

CCSSMathematics/

Practices

CCSS ELA Social Studies Fine Arts

Transdisciplinary Connections: Questions, issues, problems or challenges to real world connections between Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and other disciplines.

Enduring Understanding: Identify a Real World Problem “Homeless Dogs All Over the World” Problem-base Learning (e.g. There are many dogs who do not have a family to care for them or a home (e.g. indoors or outdoors).

Connection to STEM Careers: This section describes careers in the STEM

fields that correlate with content covered in the unit.

Essential Questions: Begin to ask questions that would explore the problem and eventually solve the problem Inquiry-base Learning (e.g. How can people solve the problem of homeless dogs?).

EngagementDid you design an activity that... captures students’ attention? activates students’ prior knowledge? connects to a complex question, global issue, or real world problem?


ExplorationDid you design an activity that allows students to... analyze the science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and other disciplines as appropriate in a complex question, global issue, or real world problem? apply the engineering design process, scientific investigation, and/or mathematical practices? select and employ technological tools that are relevant to answering a complex question, investigating a global issue, or developing solutions to a real world problem?


ExplanationDid you design an activity that allows students to... analyze information, data and draw conclusions? communicate understandings and possible solutions?


Extension / ElaborationDid you design an activity that allows students to; modify experimental procedures, prototypes, models, or solutions? analyze STEM careers that relate to the learning activity?


EvaluationDid you design an activity that allows students to… demonstrate understanding of concepts through rubric-based performance assessments? participate in peer reviews?
