  1. High School STEM Principals’ Session Educator Effectiveness Academy Day 1

  2. Outcomes Principals will: • review goals for STEM education in high school. • receive an overview of high school STEM EEA content sessions. • develop an understanding of how STEM education connects to the Common Core and other content standards. • receive strategies on how to implement STEM education in their schools.

  3. What is STEM Education?

  4. All Students • All Courses • Students interested in • science, technology, • engineering, & mathematics. • Offered through specialized • programs, academies, • courses, etc. High School STEM Education Goals

  5. 3 Day OverviewHigh School STEM EEA

  6. High School STEM 3 Day Educator Effectiveness Academy Overview • STEM Educator Effectiveness Academy Outcomes: • Develop knowledge of the Maryland STEM Standards of Practice and Frameworks. • Develop knowledge of STEM unit components and resources.

  7. Changes • Common Core State Standards English Language Arts • Common Core State Standards Algebra I • Common Core State Standards Geometry • Common Core State Standards Algebra II • Next Generation Science Standards • New Social Studies Standards • PARCC Assessments

  8. Why should you implement STEM education in your school?

  9. STEM Education Connects to Content • Provides coherence to educational reforms1. • Supports the development of core academic competencies2. • Prepares students for post-secondary study and the 21st century workforce. 1Building a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education Agenda. National Governors Association, December 2011 2 Using Technology to Support Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM for All). Dr. James Basham, Dr. Maya Isreal, et. al. May 2011

  10. STEM Education Develops Skills That Allow for a Deeper Understanding of Content Content Mastery

  11. How can you implement STEM education in your school?

  12. Implementing the STEM Standards of Practice

  13. Year 2: Implementing STEM Education • Implementing STEM education should not disrupt, displace, or add on to curricular pacing. • STEM education complements the continuum of content instruction that would occur during the day. • Two approaches to implementation: • Content – Based Infusion • Projects/Themes that Span Multiple Disciplines

  14. Content-Based Infusion • Content specific teachers incorporate the STEM Standards of Practice and Frameworks in their classroom. • Content teachers develop STEM centric lessons.

  15. Projects/Themes that Span Multiple Disciplines Teachers from multiple disciplines come together to plan and implement STEM centric lessons.

  16. Suggested Strategy • Identify faculty who could take the lead on STEM implementation. • Identify planning time to allow selected faculty members to develop a STEM centric lesson. • Identify a time during the school year for selected faculty to engage students in STEM centric lessons.

  17. Example

  18. How Would a Principal Know if Students were Engaged in a STEM Centric Unit or Lesson?

  19. Attributes of a STEM Centric Learning Environment
