STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics “Preparing OK students for the technical innovative future”

STEM: What is it? STEM education enhances the manner in which math and science instruction is taught to students in Oklahoma. STEM breaks down the departmentalizing walls of all core subject teaching STEM incorporates full student engagement, problem solving, discovery, and exploratory learning.

STEM: What is it? STEM replaces the traditional teacher- centered classroom with an ideal learning environment that engages students throughout the entire learning process. STEM uses innovative technology as a tool to help create dynamic project based learning environments STEM education begins at the elementary level and continues through HS level

National view of STEM TODAY! Results of report from Georgetown University Center of Education and the Workforce-Oct, 2011  100 students with a Bachelor’s degree 19 graduated with a STEM degree and only 8 were working in STEM occupations ten years after graduation.  STEM talent is getting lost to non-STEM occupations  Demand for STEM talent far exceeds that of the supply of STEM qualified people to fill those jobs

Alarming Stats of STEM in OK! Rankings of Top Majors and Subject Areas – Samples taken from 22 of 25 colleges or universities in OK 1.Business/Business Administration/Business Management 2.Pre Nursing/Nursing/Nursing Science 3.Education (all categories) 4.General Studies 5.Sociology/Psychology Engineering ranks 7 th and engineering technology ranks 10 th as chosen majors in OK

Mission Statement Revolutionize! Revitalize! Reform! Reshape! … the way that OK students are being introduced and taught science and math today by embracing STEM education as the mainstream teaching strategy.

Career Tech Higher Ed. STEM Industry PreK-12 Ed. State Dept. of Ed. STEM

Immediate Action Items 1. Improve the current science and math ACT test scores ACT composite test score is 20.7 Composite score has been static since 2007 Full 10 percentage points below the national average in mathematics Full 5 percentage points below national average in science “How can we make the biggest impact of change today?”

Immediate Action Items 2. Decrease amount of students needing remediation in science and math prior to entering higher ed. ACT’s analysis of 2011 ACT-tested high school graduates interested in health care: – 16% met the college readiness benchmark for math – 11% met the benchmark for science. – 37% met benchmarks for reading. “What can be done at K-12 levels to increase skill levels needed to increase student readiness?”

Immediate Action Items 3. Focus on establishing long lasting partnerships between education and industry focusing on all aspects of STEM education in OK OK Dept. of Commerce projects 6,260 STEM job openings in OK for the next 10 years OK State Regents for Higher Ed indicate that over the past 3 years OK has only graduated 4,171 STEM field grads. 10 yrs = 62,600 jobs v OK STEM grads (10yrs) =13,903.33
