1. OpenCourseWare Secondary Education

2. › Inspire students to pursue degrees, and eventually careers, in STEM fields › Prepare students to excel in STEM fields OCW SE — Goals 1 OpenCourseWare Secondary Education

3. OCW SE — Proposed scope › 20-30 “best of” math, science, and engineering secondary education “courses” › Certificate programs in areas of science, math, and engineering › Teachers-in residence program to bring together top secondary educators and MIT faculty 2 OpenCourseWare Secondary Education

4. › Standards-based teaching and learning is the reality in today’s schools › Teaching is very textbook-dependent › Little integration of concepts across STEM fields in grades 7-12 › Very little engineering presence in grades 7-12 › Many Web-based STEM resources are fragmented, difficult to use, and/or not openly available OCW SE — Preliminary findings 3 OpenCourseWare Secondary Education

5. OCW SE — Design considerations › To complement MIT expertise, OCW SE will need to engage experts in secondary education › To inspire students, OCW SE should be inquiry based and show the application of science and math in engineering › To be useful to educators, OCW SE must link to standards and be both modular and comprehensive › To be used by both educators and students, OCW SE must be designed to meet their unique needs 4 OpenCourseWare Secondary Education
