1 Welcome to EHC STEM Night

2 STEM Interview

3 What is STEM STEM refers to the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. However, STEM initiatives are not science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in isolation, rather STEM is the integration of courses, programs, or linked learning opportunities using an interdisciplinary approach through exploration, discovery, and problem solving.

5 STEM in the 21 st Century Curiosity Creativity Critical Thinking Collaboration Communication

6 Jobs of the 21 st Century Competition as well as collaboration Creative and innovative thinking Work effectively in a team Think outside the box and problem solve Take one step further… Expand

7 21 st Century Job Facts 70% of jobs require entry level math proficiency Highest level of math taken in high school is the strongest indicator of getting a BA by age 25. According to the Department of Labor, the highest paid and fastest growing jobs are STEM related. Today, for every 4 STEM jobs, there is only one qualified person STEM will solve world wide issues

8 STEM is Common Core Learners:  Apply knowledge  Collaborate with peers  Build conceptual understanding  Problem solve  Find relevance in their learning  ENGAGE: multisensory, high interest topics, curiosity

9 STEM Learning Integrated Curriculum Project-based learning environment Authentic learning experiences Inquiry based learning

10 Focus on Relevance Create inquiry Investigate and analyze Understand and learn using evidence and argument Make connections

11 Focus on Challenging Students Growth mindset Perseverance Problem Solving Ensuring ALL students are engaged Multiple ways of demonstrating knowledge and understanding

12 The Power of YET

13 Next Generation Science Standards

14 Science and Engineering Practices Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering) Developing and using models Planning and carrying out investigations Analyzing and interpreting data Using mathematics and computational thinking Constructing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering) Engaging in argument from evidence Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

15 STEM in Elementary Education Innovative and inspiring Young children are naturally curious Engage students as life long learners STEM is FUN!

16 Writing Robots

17 Vision for the Future Five Year Implementation Plan Year 1: 2014-2015 Awareness and Discovery Year 2: 2015-2017 Transitional Implementation Year 3: 2017-2019 Full Implementation

18 5 Year STEM Implementation Plan

19 STEM in Action
