  1. High School STEM Content Session Educator Effectiveness Academy Day 2, Session 1

  2. Find Someone Who…. The purpose of this activity is to review concepts presented during day 1.

  3. Example

  4. Directions • Find people who can provide the correct answers to the statements in the table. • You must find a different person for each statement. • Write the name of the person and his/her answer below the statement.

  5. Day 2 Outcomes Participants will: • analyze STEM unit and lesson components. • analyze STEM resources on the curriculum management system. • develop STEM lesson seeds using STEM resources on the curriculum management system.

  6. STEM Centric Units Dayton Regional STEM Center: What is STEM education?

  7. STEM Centric Defined The development or modification of units, lessons, or activities to incorporate the STEM Standards of Practice and reflect the definition of STEM Education.

  8. STEM Centric Units and Lessons

  9. STEM Unit Components BINGO The purpose of this activity is to review components of a STEM Unit.

  10. Directions • Working in pairs, place the STEM BINGO chip on the unit component title as the component is reviewed • Three consecutive rows (horizontally or vertically) must be filled to have BINGO

  11. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Title. This is descriptive statement about the unit. • Overview. This is a summary of what students will learn in the unit. It explains the unit’s focus and real world connection.

  12. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Enduring Understandings. These go beyond discrete facts or skills to focus on larger concepts, principles, or processes. • Essential Questions. Essential questions are open-ended questions that provoke inquiry about the core ideas for the unit.

  13. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Content Standards. This section will list Maryland State Curriculum content standards from multiple disciplines that are addressed in the unit. • STEM Standards of Practice. This section identifies the essential skills and knowledge from STEM Standards of Practice that will be addressed in the unit.

  14. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Clarifications/Examples. This component will provide extensions of the essential skills and knowledge and core learning goal indicators found in the Maryland State Curriculum. • Connection to STEM Careers. This section describes careers in the STEM fields that correlate with content covered in the unit.

  15. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Transdisciplinary Connections. This section will broadly list the content areas the unit covers and suggest opportunities for real world connections between STEM disciplines and other disciplines. • Suggested Student Outcomes. They describe the transferable knowledge and skills that students should understand and be able to do when the unit is completed.

  16. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Vocabulary/Terminology/Concepts. These are concepts and terms that will be encountered—often for the first time—over the course of the unit. • Common Misconceptions. This component will provide insights into areas that have historically presented challenges for both the teacher providing the instruction and the student understanding the concept.

  17. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Key Advances from Previous Grades/Courses. Statements about what was learned in previous grades/course that will support student learning. • Sample Lesson Plan. Recommended components of a STEM lesson plan are identified in this section. • Lesson Seeds. The lesson seeds are ideas that can be used to build a lesson.

  18. Maryland STEM Unit Components • Additional Resources. These are links to media, lesson plans, activities, related background information and other instructional materials for teachers from a variety of sources. • Interventions/Enrichments. Modules or links

  19. Differentiaion • Universal Design for Learning • WIDA Performance Definitions and CAN DO Descriptors • Accelerations and Enhancements

  20. STEM Lessons 5E Model for Integrated STEM Instruction

  21. 5E Model for Integrated STEM Instruction

  22. Key Points about the 5E Model • The 5E model is not linear. • Evaluation typically occurs throughout the 5E cycle. • It may take several days or several lessons to complete a 5E cycle.

  23. 5E Beach Ball The purpose of this activity is to review the 5E model for integrated STEM instruction.

  24. 5E Components

  25. STEM Centric Lesson and Unit Checklist The purpose of this activity is to analyze a 5E lesson using the STEM Centric Lesson and Unit Checklist

  26. STEM Centric Lesson and Unit Checklist • Designed to aid educators in developing or modifying units and lessons to align with the STEM Standard of Practice and reflect the definition of STEM education. • A resource to identify areas of improvement or sustainability in lessons.

  27. Checklist Components • Content Standards and the STEM Standards of Practice • Real World Connection • Development of Deep Conceptual Understanding • Diverse Learners

  28. Please Review Checklist Components

  29. Menhaden STEM Lesson Seeds Integrating Foundations of Technology, Government, and Biology content to investigate the issue of the appropriate size of the menhaden harvest and the effects of bycatch in the Chesapeake Bay and coastal Atlantic Ocean. Images from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) http://search.usa.gov/search/images?affiliate=noaa.gov&m=false&query=Menhaden

  30. Analysis of a STEM Centric Lesson Seed • Review the introduction and foundations of technology lesson seed. • As a group decide if the lesson seed meets the criteria in the checklist. * Remember – this is a lesson seed so all criteria may not be checked.

  31. Checklist Components • Content Standards and the STEM Standards of Practice • Real World Connection • Development of Deep Conceptual Understanding • Diverse Learners

  32. Off Site Activity

  33. Purpose • To practice navigating the curriculum management system. • To become familiar with resources on the STEM portion of the curriculum management system. • To develop a STEM centric lesson seed for your content area using the resources on the curriculum management system.

  34. Curriculum Management System

  35. STEM Centric Lesson Seed Template

  36. Day 3 Outcomes Participants will: • share lesson seeds. • analyze the attributes of a STEM centric learning environment. • provide input on STEM related projects.
