NCSSSMST Profile and Member Directory 1

NCSSSMST Profile and Member Directory

History of the ConsortiumThe National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST) was established in 1988 to provide a forum for specialized secondary schools focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to exchange information and program ideas.

Celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2013, the Consortium now includes approximately 100 member schools (high schools), many ‘ranked’ as the best in the country, along with 55 affiliate members (colleges, universities, summer programs, foundations, and corporations) located in 32 states, who share the goals of transforming mathematics, science, and technology education.

The Consortium fosters, supports, and advances the efforts of those specialized schools whose primary purpose is to attract and academically prepare students for leadership in mathematics, science, and technology. NCSSSMST was promoting rigorous STEM education long before STEM was even a buzzword.

NCSSSMST, a 501c3 non-profit organization, holds programs and events to develop STEM talents for both students and educators. Our annual Fall Professional Conference provides professional

development opportunities to member and non-member educators. Our annual Summer Student Research Conference draws participants from Consortium schools across the country, where students meet to share their research projects. We also partner with like-missioned organizations such as the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), the Conrad Foundation, Magnet Schools of America (MSA), and others to extend our reach to, and support of, STEM education and educators.

Consortium publications include a monthly Newsletter, Research Guides, and a semi-annual NCSSSMST Journal. Still, the true value of NCSSSMST is the incredible depth of teaching and educational leadership experience held among the member schools and affiliate organizations.

For a quarter century, Consortium members have worked with dedication and passion to provide resources to STEM educators and students. We invite STEM-focused schools, organizations, foundations, and individuals to apply for Consortium membership. Membership criteria and our membership application may be found at www.ncsssmst.org.

This Membership Profile includes an overview of the Consortium. The diversity of structures within the Consortium is one of our greatest strengths. There is no one way to provide a world-class STEM education - programs offered must be developed to meet the needs of the community and stakeholders. Still, there are trends worth noting from the most recent member survey conducted in the fall of 2013.

The initial thrust to establish a national organization came from four schools: North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics; Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (VA); Louisiana School for Mathematics, Science, and the Arts; and the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, who were joined by 11 additional schools from across the country to establish the Consortium.

Most offer combinations of internships and mentorships, robotics labs, distance learning, school exchanges, field trips, speakers’ series, collaborative research opportunities, foreign exchange, and many more unique enrichment experiences for students.

Over 66% of schools require students to conduct research, while an additional 25% highly encourage their students to undertake research projects offering mentoring and support to do so.

Providing a forum to focus on the importance of conducting research, each year, the Consortium holds an annual Summer Student Research Conference, where students from member schools across the country meet at an affiliate member college/university campus to present their research projects, and share best practices.

Research Projects

Dual enrollment with a college/university is offered at over 71% of Consortium schools.

Dual enrollment options - Students Take College Courses for College Credit or Placement

PRofile


Over 80% of Consortium schools that offer dual enrollment with colleges/universities have an articulation agreement that gives student credit – either a credit transfer or waiver - at the college level.

Articulation Agreements that Allow for College/University Credit

100% of our schools provide access and support for student participation in a variety of national academic competitions. Participation is a value-add for students to be accepted to their college/university of choice.

Unique offerings: The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Partnership Program 9th Grade: Speaker Series The purpose of the Speaker Series is to expose our 9th grade students to the vast array of careers within the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. Four times per year speakers are invited to the school to spend time with a small group of students who have expressed prior interest in the speaker’s particular area of expertise. These informal discussions typically begin with the speaker spending fifteen minutes describing his/her education background, career path, and daily tasks. The remaining fifteen to twenty minutes involves open discussion and Q & A. All GSMST classrooms are equipped with DVD players, computers, and overhead LCD projectors. 10th Grade: Job Shadow Phase two of the Partnership Program involves our 10th grade students participating in on-site job shadow events. Students travel to a business partner’s location and experience the daily routine of an assigned employee for approximately two hours. The job shadow events introduce students to business etiquette, protocols, and requirements common to an industry. This phase also gives students an idea of which internship they would like to pursue the following year. 11th Grade: Junior Fellowship Experience During their 11th grade year, our students participate in the Junior Fellowship Experience (JFE). This program partners university and industry experts with our students to complete in-depth work assignments and projects. These internships are a graduation requirement for GSMST students and adhere to strict requirements regarding rigor, time commitment, and use of STEM skills. Students can choose to participate in a career internship or an independent project. The time-frames are either summer, short-term (one semester), or long-term (yearlong). 12th Grade: Senior Capstone Experience Upon completion of the JFE, our students pursue the Senior Capstone Experience (SCE). These Senior Capstone projects involve extensive research and industry experience normally reserved for graduate students. At the conclusion of the SCE students present their senior portfolio to a panel of judges. Students are able to choose from multiple options for their SCE, including internships and independent projects. All SCE projects are yearlong.

ProgrAmS offered

Unique offerings: NCSSM offers a mentorship program, where students spend two afternoons a week during their senior year doing research under the guidance of a mentor at one of the local universities or Research Triangle companies. Students conduct a literature review of their research topic, write a scientific paper, and present their findings at one or more research symposia in the spring. Mini-Term is another means by which NCSSM provides significant opportunities for students to engage in unique educational experiences outside of the regular school curriculum and beyond the traditional classroom context. During Mini-Term, in the place of regular classes, students choose between two stimulating academic options. Students either participate in one of the specialized mini-courses (7-10 days long) arranged by one or more NCSSM faculty members, which include both on-campus courses and domestic or international trips. Students can also conduct an approved educational project of the student’s own design with the sponsorship of an adult member of the NCSSM community. The goal is to support students in a rigorous exploration of a subject area of great interest to them in a way that contributes to their academic and personal growth and serve them well in their future academic aspirations. The Summer Service requirement at NCSSM has always been a staple since the school’s beginning. The Summer Service Program allows students to give back to their home community in a variety of ways that can be catered around individual passions, hobbies, interests and possible careers. Students are expected to provide a minimum of 60 hours of service to a nonprofit organization within North Carolina during the summer of their Junior or Senior year. Students are also expected to complete 3 hours of work service per week for a department on campus. This program is designed to provide “job training”, “soft skill development,” and a mentoring opportunity with adults on campus. It also provides a valuable service to the NCSSM community. Students receive a grade each trimester (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) from his or her supervisor which is part of the student transcript.

Unique offerings: A STEAM school since 2002, LASA encourages every student to take advanced courses in all academic areas. We focus on the whole student and have created four required Signature Courses. During Freshman year students take Sci Tech; an applied engineering course where they work in teams to design and build a simple machine that completes a task and E-Zine; an original course that combines newspaper experiences with graphic design skills allowing every student to be a published author by the end of the year. Sophomores take Great Ideas; an exploration of the big questions philosophers have debated for centuries and Planet Earth; a field study class where students take research questions from concept through conclusion and publication. Although best known for unique science and math offerings such as Biochemistry 1&2, Organic Chemistry, Linear Algebra and Number Theory, as well as integrative courses including Logic, Computer Programming and Digital Electronics that apply science and math skills, we also offer six World Language options through level 5 and a fine arts department that includes an orchestra that played Carnegie Hall and a theater troupe that performed productions as large as Phantom of the Opera. We pride ourselves on the fact that LASA allows all students to delve deeper in their area of interest while encouraging them to struggle academically in areas where they feel less at ease.

ProgrAmS offered

Unique offerings: At SWVGS, there is a focus on understanding the process of science and the use of the scientific method to reveal new knowledge. Students are required to take the Science and Technology Seminar and Project course each year they attend SWVGS and all students complete independent research projects each year. Additionally, the process of scientific discovery and the impact of significant discoveries are discussed within specific science courses. Experience with research develops critical thinking and problem solving skills, skepticism and curiosity about the world, ability to acquire and apply knowledge, joy of discovery, persistence, time management skills, a strong work ethic, and intellectual integrity, as well as collaborative, leadership, and communication skills. SWVGS leads students to solve math problems independent of a calculator. Students are encouraged to understand and practice the steps of completing calculations by hand. Development of proficiency in solving fractions, equations, factoring, etc. is a high priority. Students are asked to use mathematics to analyze data, understand scientific principles, and explore relationships among different fields of knowledge. Knowledge of basic facts and proficiency in applying basic skills allow students to understand what they are doing, make connections, and give meaningful interpretations of their results. Understanding how to use a variety of mathematical tools independent of a calculator gives students the self-confidence to think for themselves, analyze new and more complex problems, determine appropriate strategies for solving those problems, and then apply those strategies. Thinking conceptually, using logical reasoning, and making connections are skills that lead to success not only in SWVGS math and science classes, but also in college classes and in the workplace. The SWVGS compacted curriculum model is designed to challenge gifted students. Faculty members work to actively engage students in learning through demonstrations, projects, lab experiments, and group experiences. Development of problem solving and critical thinking skills are emphasized as students complete their dual-enrolled courses. Governor’s School students are part of a community of similarly motivated and talented learners. Students like the atmosphere at SWVGS and enjoy being in classrooms filled with other students who are focused on learning and achieving.

Grinnell College is a leader in undergraduate science education. Grinnell’s innovative teaching and research programs are recognized and supported through grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health, and others. Entering prospective science majors from traditionally underrepresented groups participate in our weeklong Grinnell Science Project (GSP), which introduces students to inquiry-based approaches to learning science. GSP recently received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering. Prospective science majors continue with peer mentoring in their first two years, intensive faculty mentoring, and forming highly cooperative learning communities. Consequently, 85 percent of Grinnell’s intended science majors complete a degree in science — a rate several times higher than the national average. Indeed, over one third of Grinnell’s students graduate with a science major. Grinnell’s effective approach to science education is reflected in the professionally recognized research done by our undergraduates and by the success of our alumni. Nearly 70 percent of our science majors enter graduate programs. According to the NSF, Grinnell ranks eighth on a per capita basis among all U.S. higher education institutions in producing graduates who later earn science doctorates.

Grinnell does more than just produce scientists; Grinnell produces scientific leaders.
