Ensuring Accountability for Results AAES-NAE Engineering Societies Convocation April 16, 2012

New Coke Introduced on April 23,1985 2

Corporate Accountability Early 1980s, Pepsi was challenging Coke’s #1 position Increase in diet, citrus, and caffeine-free  fewer sugar cola drinkers Pepsi Challenge  People preferred the flavor Diet Coke was based on an entirely new flavor New Coke was Diet Coke with sugar added  taste tests yielded a winner, no mention that it was a replacement A soda is much more than its taste! 3

Corporate Lessons Keep a clear eye on “the goal” Keep the customer clearly in mind Collect and act on data Remain agile making mid-course corrections, if needed 4

Change the Equation Improve participation and performance of America’s students in STEM Mobilize the business community to improve the quality of STEM learning in the US Craig Barrett Former CEO/Chair, Intel Glenn Britt CEO, Time Warner Cable Ursula Burns CEO, Xerox William Green Chairman, Accenture Sally Ride CEO, Sally Ride Science Rex Tillerson CEO, Exxon Mobil 5

Levers for Change Philanthropy –Strengthen the impact of the resources businesses spend on STEM learning Advocacy –Sustain a broad commitment –Keep our eye on the best available data –Call for data not yet unavailable 6

Philanthropic Strategy for Many Companies Do Good Feel Good Look Good 7

Refocus that Strategy Do Good Look Good Feel Good 8

Philanthropy — STEM Design Principles Help companies gauge quality of philanthropic efforts to boost learning in STEM. Need Staff & Volunteer Capacity Individual Attention Inquiry & Hands-on Learning Underrepresented Groups Evaluation Outside Factors Capacity Inspiration Replicable Sustainability Partnerships Content 21 st Century Skills 9

Expanded 5 researched-based programs to 134 sites Nearly 40,000 students reached 24 CTEq member companies participated Advanced Placement Training & Incentive Program (APTIP) Engineering is Elementary FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science & Technology) K-8 Math Progressions NAF Career Academies 10

Engineering is Elementary—partners lessons in engineering with existing science curricula. Student teams apply their knowledge of science and math, use their inquiry and problem-solving skills, and design, create and improve possible solutions. FIRST—teams of HS students undertake a six-week design and build period using a kit of materials, at the end of which they will have created a 120-pound robot capable of competing in a complex series of tasks. APTIP—a teacher-training program with a lead teacher who trains other teachers; a curriculum to help prepare students for AP courses; and a system of cash incentives, funded by private donors and the district. 11

Advocacy—The Good News Between 1990 and 2009: Latino 4 th graders gained 28 points on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in math Latino 8 th graders gained 21 points Black fourth graders gained 35 points Black eighth-graders gained 24 points Several grade levels of progress 12

Advocacy—Still a Steep Hill to Climb Stubborn achievement gaps remain an affront to our national ideals Discrepancies between state assessment results and NAEP 13

The National Gaps—8 th Grade Science Source: NAEP,

The National Gaps—8 th Grade Math Source: NAEP,

Where Do States Set the Bar in Science? All Over the Map 16

Sharing the Best Available Data Business commonly reflects on data and outcomes Change the Equation’s Vital Signs reports aim to fill a similar role: –State-by-state reports on the condition of STEM learning: New data & analysis –Descriptive & actionable, but not punitive –Coming in August 2012 –May 2012 State Team Summit 17

State-by-State Vital Signs Report on the condition of STEM learning in all 50 states and DC to help measure state performance—and dig deeper into the nation’s education challenges. 18

STEMtistic: Got Science? U.S. elementary schools devote and average of 2.3 hours per week to science, a decline of 43 minutes since

Lee Iacocca 20 We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
