  2. We would like to get to know you! • What is your name? • What do you do? On a large post-it, record this info.

  3. How do you define STEM? What is your vision for STEM education? • Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics • What does research say? • Video: STEM Education-Tools to Change the World

  4. What are the 21st Century Skills? • Jot down some ideas • As a small groups record ideas on post-it (one idea per post-it) • Large group share • The Partnership for 21st Century Skills Framework • http://www.p21.org

  5. Connecting to 21st Century Skills While viewing videolook for connections to the 21st Century Skills: • Content connections in relation to Academic Standards & Skill applications • Creativity & Innovation • Work Environment & Collaboration

  6. Video: Using Virtual Technology to Assist in Rocket Design • Please take two minutes to independently document observations. • In groups, identify top 5 connections related to the area of focus. • Create a non-linguistic representation of your top 5 connections • Gallery walk of “expert groups”

  7. Why is it important for students to have a strong background in STEM regardless of their lifelong aspirations?

  8. On July 14, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) released a new report that profiles U.S. employment in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.  The report, STEM: Good Jobs Now and for the Future, finds that: • In 2010, there were 7.6 million STEM workers in the United States, representing about 1 in 18 workers. • STEM occupations are projected to grow by 17.0 percent from 2008 to 2018, compared to 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM occupations. • STEM workers command higher wages, earning 26 percent more than their non-STEM counterparts. • More than two-thirds of STEM workers have at least a college degree, compared to less than one-third of non-STEM workers. • STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations.
