  1. Welcome to the STEM PLC Presented by Joanna Epstein and Paul Carpenetti

  2. Outcomes • What an exemplary STEM lesson looks like • How to modify our teaching to incorporate STEM • How to integrate RELA and mathematics standards into STEM lessons

  3. Your Goals What do you want to get out of this PLC? What questions do you have?

  4. PLC Topics

  5. Shift Happens Think about the Shift Happens video we saw during the first week of school. What struck you? What skills and habits are our students are missing?

  6. Habits/skills • Verbal instruction: move to hands-on • Pride and ownership of learning • Inquire about learning: inquisitive • Easily distracted • Lack perseverance • Expect things to come easier • Don’t give up • Stress management skills • Motivation: intrinsic (feel good about what you did) • Prior knowledge of skills

  7. Exemplary Lesson Find 2 other people who have the same lesson as you (they’re numbered) Take 10-15 minutes to complete the activity together

  8. Exemplary Lesson What do you notice about this lesson? Similar but structured differently (swing set) Uses 5E How is it different? Multidisciplinary vs. one obj./subject at a time

  9. Exemplary Lesson Do you think this type of activity would effectively address the deficits we identified (skills/habits our students are missing) Why? How do we get ALL kids involved and interested? Hands-on Finding the problem

  10. Exemplary Lesson Do you think it’s possible to incorporate this type of lesson into your classroom or curriculum area?

  11. SO…. Will this really make a difference?

  12. For next time… • Share with your team • Bring a lesson or activity that you could easily adapt to the STEM lesson framework

  13. EXIT Ticket On an index card write: • Your name • Comment, question or concern
