Consequences of Changing the STEM Education Program We Shall Achieve

The Budget Realignment process: … should distribute resources to meet current institutional strengths and needs. … should not be used to enact curricular or programmatic changes that directly affect student outcomes. We Shall Achieve

Moving the directorship and curricular offerings from Arts & Sciences to CHEPS would: Fail to use the existing expertise and leadership Damage the ongoing recruitment efforts Alter curriculum and potentially change the essential nature of the degree Fracture a program that is right now producing strong Math & Science majors with multiple career paths – including Teaching We Shall Achieve

Example of proposed curriculum change: We Shall Achieve STEM Step One/Step Two: Inquiry-Based Mathematics and Science Teaching (2) Credit Hours Introduction to mathematics and science teaching as a career. Discussions include standards-based lesson design; various teaching methods designed to meet instructional goals; behavior management strategies; and learner goals. The course emphasizes lesson planning and assessment of student learning. Students develop and teach five inquiry-based lessons, three to students in middle grades and two to students in grades three through five, all in local elementary and middle schools, and participate in peer coaching. Every semester. Field component.

Replacement course, as suggested by CHEPS: We Shall Achieve EDUC Education in the United States (3) Credit Hours Organization and historical development of education in the United States, philosophical concepts and their influences on contemporary education, current issues. Field component.

The STEM 1030 course is designed specifically for these majors… We Shall Achieve

The fundamental question is this: What is the natural home for a program which produces Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Geology majors? Answer: The College that houses those majors, and their Departments. The College where their curriculum is developed and the money will be spent. We Shall Achieve

How to move forward from here? We Shall Achieve First: Do no harm to students. Shield the curriculum and the program. This is a budget realignment process, not a program design or curriculum process.

How to move forward from here? We Shall Achieve Second: Savings through better cooperation: Program housed in A&S but seek a committed partner co-director in SOE Split the stipend between co-directors Focus on more co-teaching Additional savings offered by current STEM leadership
