  2. Funding: Constraints and Challenges1. Funding Assumptions and Models2. Knowledge and Skills for Funding 3. Principles for Obtaining Support 4. Need for Diverse Funding Sources

  3. Informed by research and best practices Funding Assumptions and Models Change in values, policies, programs, etc 20-30 years Social Norm New Social Norm ___________________________________________ Smoking Not Smoking Not teaching IBSE Teaching IBSE 20-30 years Major and sustained government support is obtained when an innovation is seen as a “social norm” with evidence of large-scale impact

  4. Funding Assumptions and Models Education is only the responsibility of the government OR is the responsibility of all stakeholder groups Funding is only a responsibility of the government or there should be multiple sources of funding

  5. Funding Challenges - Skills 1. Strategic planning with “SMART” goals – goals that are strategic, measurable, achievable, realistic , and time bound 2. Development of “proof of concept” that can be taken to scale 3. Development of measures of impact 4. Effective communications skills 5. Relationship building 6. Development – fundraising from government and private foundations and corporations

  6. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need

  7. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need 2. Excellent products and services with evidence of continuous improvement

  8. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need 2. Excellent products and services with evidence of continuous improvement3. Evidence of impact a. Infrastructure development b. Quality of teaching c. Student learning and attitudes

  9. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need 2. Excellent products and services with evidence of continuous improvement3. Evidence of impact a. Infrastructure development b. Quality of teaching c. Student learning and attitudes 4. Outstanding leader(s) who have integrity and are trusted and who know how to communicate the “return on investment” of these programs

  10. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need 2. Excellent products and services with evidence of continuous improvement3. Evidence of impact a. Infrastructure development b. Quality of teaching c. Student learning and attitudes 4. Outstanding leader(s) who have integrity and are trusted and who know how to communicate the “return on investment” of these programs 5. Knowledge and skills to develop and implement strategic plans

  11. Principles for obtaining support: need for the following:1. Clear articulation of how the innovation (IBSE) fulfills a critical need 2. Excellent products and services with evidence of continuous improvement3. Evidence of impact a. Infrastructure development b. Quality of teaching c. Student learning and attitudes 4. Outstanding leader(s) who have integrity and are trusted and who know how to communicate the “return on investment” of these programs 5. Knowledge and skills to develop and implement strategic plans6. Knowledge and skills needed to obtain short- and long- term funding from diverse funding sources

  12. Funding Challenges: Need for diverse funding sources to ensure sustainability1. Short-term funding One to three years2. Mid-term funding Three to five years3. Long-term sustainability

  13. Lessons Learned for Funding • Build a corps of strategic advocates by • first cultivating support from industry • Create a STEM Advisory Board • Work with Board to make a case for • transforming science education --- • Conduct, publish, and widely disseminate • a “SWOT” analysis along with a • strategic plan and measures • of impact • Develop plan for diversification of funding • that includes a shift of major support being • provided by the private sector in the initial • years to increasing government support in • the years when the program becomes more • mature
