  1. AAAS and NSBA Present ATraining Program for Board Members

  2. AcknowledgementsThe AAAS/NSBA Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education Program is a school board leadership project made available by: The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) The National School Boards Association (NSBA) With support from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation

  3. Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education: Why Should We Care?

  4. Workshop Objectives Participants will… • Gain knowledge and tools that can be used to begin creating solutions for science, mathematics, and technology programs in their districts by: • Understanding the importance of and the urgency for high-quality science, mathematics, and technology (SMT) education. • Connecting SMT education to their district vision. • Developing key talking points and a plan for engaging local boards on this topic.

  5. How does an acorn become an oak?

  6. The Lego Model of Matter Carbon dioxide and water molecules react to form glucose and oxygen molecules. Glucose molecules are linked together to form cellulose. • Cellulose molecules join to • form wood fibers. Wood fibers form the tree.

  7. The Challenge: Initiate Efforts to Improve Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education

  8. Table Talk Spend 10 minutes at your table discussing your answers to the urgency questions on page 4, based on the introduction to Science for All Americans and the video. Then, share your reactions to the introduction and video.

  9. Making the Case: Where Do We Stand?

  25. Gallery Walk Take 10 minutes to view some of the key talking points from other tables and record those you like on page 10 of your manual.

  26. Creating Opportunity

  27. Workshop Sections • Part One: Science, Math and Technology Education: Why Do We Care? This session is designed to inform board members about the importance and benefits of high-quality science, mathematics, and technology instruction and to jumpstart visioning for quality district programs. • Part Two: What Do We Want and How Do We Get It? This session explores the elements of quality science, mathematics, and technology learning standards and assists boards in planning for effective assessment, accountability and alignment processes and strategies that will support those standards. • Part Three: Engaging Our Public Around Science, Math and Technology Education: How Do We Do It? This session provides ideas, tools and resources for increasing public interest in and support for high-quality science, mathematics, and technology education as well as for engaging the public around sensitive and/or divisive issues. • Part Four: Science, Math and Technology Education: The Board’s Role This session puts the ideas from the previous sessions into the framework of the Key Work of School Boards and provides a guide for future action.
