  24. STEM Meaningful STEM Integration to Support Curricular Goals: Resources and Reflections

  25. Selected NRC Recommendations from Successful K-12 STEM Education (2011) Districts should devote adequate instructional time and resources to science in grades K-5: • Time allocated to teach science in grades K-5 • Science related learning opportunities in elementary schools

  26. Recommendations (continued) Districts should ensure that their science and mathematics curricula are focused on the most important topics in each discipline, are rigorous, and are articulated as a sequence of topics and performances: • Adoption of instructional materials in grades K-12 that embody Common Core State Standards in math and A Framework for K-12 Science Education. • Classroom coverage of content and practices in Common Core and A Framework for K-12 Science Education.

  27. Recommendations (continued) Districts need to enhance the capacity of K-12 teachers: • Teachers’ science and mathematics content knowledge for teaching • Teachers’ participation in STEM-specific professional development activities

  28. Recommendations (continued) Districts should provide instructional leaders with professional development that helps them to create the school conditions that appear to support student achievement: • Instructional leaders’ participation in professional development on creating conditions that support STEM learning

  29. Recommendations (continued) Policy makers at the national, state and local levels should elevate science to the same level of importance as reading and mathematics: • Inclusion of science in federal and state accountability systems • Proportion of major federal K-12 education initiatives that include science • State and district staff devoted to science instruction

  30. Wrap Up • TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT • EVALUATIONS
