  2. NC

  3. Nontraditional Careers • An occupation or field of work, including computer science, technology, and other emerging high skill occupations, and • For which individuals from one gender comprise less than 25 percent of the individuals employed in the occupation or field of work.

  4. Two of Eight CTE Core Indicators Secondary nontraditional participation and completion rates are trending slightly higher, however it may not make any significant changes to the future STEM job force.

  6. NAPE Five Step Process

  7. STEM occupations have education requirements that range from a high school diploma and on-the-job training to a PhD. Career & Technical Education has technical occupations that are related to: • Science • Technology • Engineering • Math

  8. NC’s RttT STEM Objectives • Provide new opportunities for students in the lowest-achieving schools and districts to attend schools that will better support their achievement and successful graduation and lead them to college and career readiness.

  9. NC’s RttT STEM Objectives To reduce a potentially crippling workforce knowledge gap and to prepare more students – especially those who traditionally have been underrepresented – for STEM careers

  10. Present and Future Job Market A globally competitive, knowledge-based economy is a fact of life for North Carolina’s high school students – now and for the foreseeable future – STEM skills are critical drivers in that economy.

  11. Career Opportunities Fields such as biotechnology, software design, aeronautical engineering, and others – will require adaptability, creativity, critical thinking, and technical competence in STEM.

  12. Career Opportunities • Employment in these areas is projected to grow 70 percent faster than growth for other occupations. • STEM graduates on average are expected to enjoy better employment prospects and higher starting salaries than graduates in non-STEM fields.

  13. Getting More Students in the STEM Pipeline

  14. Key Partnerships

  15. Nontraditional

  16. Underrepresented (UR) • African Americans account for about 15 percent of the population between ages 20 and 24, however, earn only about 8 percent of science and engineering degrees. • The ratio is similar for Hispanics. National Science Foundation

  17. By the Year 2050

  19. Gaps and Perceptions

  20. Engineering is Elementary • http://www.mos.org/eie/

  21. We hear that little kids can’t engineer . We say they’re born engineers - they naturally want to solve problems - and the current process tends to educate it out of them. Christine Cunningham, Engineering is Elementary

  22. Inviting and engaging to students who are “at risk” or traditionally UR.

  23. Rachel Freeman Elementary 2010 EOG 5th Grade Reading 75% … 26% Math 81% … 10% Science 83% … 37% http://www.nhcs.k12.nc.us/freeman/

  24. Rachel Freeman Elementary EOG 2010 4th Grade Reading 62% … 11% Math 69% … 2% 3rd Grade Reading 53% Math 73%

  26. Looking for STEM curriculum that provides pathway of feeder schools from Elementary…

  27. …to Middle…

  28. …to High School…and beyond.

  29. Positive Outcomes of PLTW students who began sixth grade at lower proficiency levels in math, reading and science, and with lower attendance rates had greatly reduced those gaps by the eighth grade. ~2009 Study by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

  30. NCSU Engineering Department and WISE as clearing house for speakers • NT or UR role models at Science Fun Days, Career Fairs, Career Nights, or Family STEM Nights

  31. STEM Symposiums

  32. Pre-K STEM Programs

  33. Afterschool STEM Programs

  34. Elementary Exploring Career Decisions

  35. Seek Out Partners/Explore Ideas

  36. Challenges & Questions
