  1. STEM Education in our Florida Schools Where does engineering fit in?

  2. Florida STEM: STEM education is the intentional integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and  their associated practices to create a student-centered learning environment in which students investigate and engineer solutions to problems, and construct evidence-based explanations of real-world phenomena with a focus on a student’s social, emotional, physical, and academic needs through shared contributions of schools, families, and community partners.

  3. It has to start with our standards….

  4. Supporting the “T” in STEM

  5. FDOE Strategic Technology Plan • In the 2014 Florida Legislative Session, Section 1001.20, Florida Statutes, was updated to require the Florida Department of Education to develop a five-year strategic plan for assisting districts in establishing Florida Digital Classrooms.

  6. FDOE Strategic Technology Plan This plan supports the vision and mission of the department as described below: Highest Student Achievement • Student Performance Outcomes Seamless Articulation and Maximum Access • Digital Tools Skilled Workforce and Economic Development • Professional Development Quality Efficient Services • Technology Infrastructure and Online Assessment Readiness

  7. Digital Classroom Plans (DCP) • As required by s. 1011.62(12)(b), Florida Statutes (F.S.) each District School Board shall submit to the department a Digital Classrooms Plan (DCP) that has been adopted by the district school board. The district plan shall meet the unique needs of students, schools and personnel in the district. A DCP allocation has been established to assist districts in this effort under s. 1011.62(12)(c), F.S.

  8. Digital Classroom PlansWhat are we seeing? Florida Center for Instructional Technology (FCIT) from University of South Florida • Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) • Technology Uses and Perceptions Survey (TUPS) • Technology Integration Matrix Observation Tool (TIM-O)

  9. Technology Integration Matrix (TIM)

  10. Technology Integration Matrix 5 Characteristics of Meaningful Learning Environments Active Constructive Goal Directed Authentic Collaborative

  11. Technology Integration Matrix 5 Levels of Technology Integration Entry Adoption Adaptation Infusion Transformation

  12. Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) • Add video demo here

  13. Supporting the “E” in STEM

  14. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

  15. The 5E Model

  16. The Engineering Design Process

  17. Where does engineering fit? ?

  18. Where does engineering fit?

  19. 4th grade: Identify resources available in Florida • Start with the standards • Dive into the content • Expand on human impact • Introduce Environmental Engineering and the Engineering Design Process • Present problem/issue to solve • Design-Test-Improve a water filter that will filter out contaminates in a water sample

  20. Resources to Assist with the “E” in STEM • American Association of Engineering Societies • Florida Engineering Society • Florida Department of Education Mathematics, Science & STEM Programs • STEMteachingtools.org • CPALMS.org
