  2. Instructional Components • STEM Learning Communities • A learning community provides students a convenient schedule of courses that meet general education (G.E.) and transfer requirements. Learning communities link two or more STEM classes together with a common theme, content, and assignments. Learning communities also help students build stronger relationships with faculty and their peers. • STEM Faculty Training and Professional Development • Funding is available for conferences and workshops that will improve STEM education and curriculum at MSJC • STEM Curriculum Development and Revision • Stipends will be available to faculty who would like to revise existing curriculum or to develop curriculum that meets the mission of STEM grant objectives. • SLO Development and Assessment Patricia Menchaca : Instructional Activities pmenchaca@msjc.edu Leticia Luna-Sims: Student Services lsims@msjc.edu

  3. Instructional Components • STEM Supplemental Instruction • Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that increases student performance and retention. SI provides weekly review sessions (FREE) to students enrolled in a targeted historically difficult STEM course. SI sessions are interactive review sessions that incorporate course content (what to learn) and study strategies (how to learn). Student attendance is voluntary. • Student Learning Outcome and Assessment Development, Implementation and Integration • Systematic methods for data collection and data analysis that are cooperative, outcome-oriented, part of a rigorous scientific design, and intended to impact the decision-making at Mt. San Jacinto College. • STEM Faculty Committee • Modeled after the Honors Enrichment Program committee, a STEM faculty committee would help coordinate and execute grant objectives. • Careers and Majors Fair STEM Booth • This fair is conducted annually and will include a STEM component this year where students can meet faculty and discuss STEM programs. • Organizations, vendors, employers Patricia Menchaca : Instructional Activities pmenchaca@msjc.edu Leticia Luna-Sims: Student Services lsims@msjc.edu
