Moore, Oklahoma – U.S. Action Plan 2014 Intel ISEF Educator Academy Los Angeles, CA

2 Goals District Goals –Long Term Goals To encourage more students to pursue STEM careers while providing them with the skills needed to be globally competitive in STEM fields. Incorporate one stem activity in grades 3-12 for implementation throughout the district. Increase the number of students participating in STEM programs, e.g. science, invention and engineering fairs by 50% within 5 years. –Short Term Goals Initiate formal STEM Professional Development for STEM Leadership Team. Increase awareness in the importance of STEM integration into the classroom. Establish a proposed list of activities for educator professional development to affect student learning in STEM.

3 Objectives 1.Professional Development will be provided for teachers to develop skills from integration of STEM to support student learning. 2.Student participation in STEM activities increases 15% over a three-year period. 3.Systemic curriculum changes underway for implementation of new academic science standards. 4.Increase the number of students involved in scientific, technological, mathematical and engineering research both inside the classroom and extracurricular activities. 5.Creation of STEM activities will have a sustainable funding source.

4 Obstacles Resistance to change Access to specialized and professional resources such as scientific literature, laboratory equipment, and supplies Perceived conflict between time spent on research projects versus standardized curriculum and assessment
