Introductions Name Organization Role
Many of us are here because of an interest in preparing students for STEM; we are not, however, here to talk about the STEM pipeline directly

Purpose:To bring together PreK-12, higher education, and business/industry representatives to discuss and help us to further define what it means for our students to be college and career ready (CCR) in science and technology/engineering
This means:a. Support or refinement of broad CCR
language for STEb. Support or refinement of HS
implications: What specific practices and/or content are necessary for CCR and success?

Vision for revised standards: Scientific & Technological Literacy
The overarching goal of our framework for K-12 science education is to ensure that by the end
of 12th grade, all students have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; possess sufficient knowledge of
science and engineering to engage in public discussions on related issues; are careful consumers of scientific and technological
information related to their everyday lives; [and] are able to continue to learn about
science outside school. (NRC Framework, p.1, emphasis added)

Massachusetts students who are college and career ready will demonstrate the knowledge, skills and abilities that are
necessary to successfully complete entry-level, credit-bearing college courses, participate in certificate or workplace
training programs, and enter economically viable career pathways.

DRAFT CCR Language for SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
Essential Competencies
LearningStudents who are college and career ready in Science and Technology/Engineering will demonstrate the academic knowledge, skills, and practices necessary to enter into and succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing science, engineering or technical courses; certificate or workplace training programs requiring an equivalent level of science; or a comparable entry-level science or technical course at the institution. College and career ready students in Science and Technology/Engineering will be academically prepared to:
Analyze scientific phenomena and solve technical problems in real-world contexts using relevant science and engineering practices and disciplinary core ideas.
Use appropriate scientific and technical reasoning to support, critique, and communicate scientific and technical claims and decisions.
Appropriately apply relevant mathematics in scientific and technical contexts.

CCR for STE Claim
Practices are essential to college and career readiness
in science and technology/engineering
![Page 9: College and Career Readiness in Science and Technology/Engineering STE Readiness Centers October 2013.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551b6b04550346ae7a8b5ff8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Evidence Practices are essential
ACT (2011) College Board (2001); AP redesign Conley (2005)
Not an agreed-upon set of HS science content Depth over breadth, independent of subject
(Tai et al, 2005, 2006) Importance of mathematics (Sadler & Tai,
2007) All agree practices devoid of content is
not appropriate!

Integration of Practices & Concepts Science and engineering practices will be
strategically integrated with disciplinary core ideas Careful attention given to how a practice contributes
to conceptual understanding and vice versa Attention to the distribution of practices across
standards
Framework will include full list of practices and emphasize that students should continue to engage in full inquiry and design processes when appropriate

CCR for STE (the plan)
To integrate the set of science and engineering practices into each STE introductory high school course
Assumes: no matter which course a student takes,
they will achieve the practices will be reinforced in subsequent courses MassCore recommends 3 lab-based
courses
![Page 16: College and Career Readiness in Science and Technology/Engineering STE Readiness Centers October 2013.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551b6b04550346ae7a8b5ff8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Focus question #1(Think-Pair-Share)
Do you agree with the focus on science and engineering practices to define CCR in STE? Why or why not? Suggestions based on
evidence?
![Page 17: College and Career Readiness in Science and Technology/Engineering STE Readiness Centers October 2013.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551b6b04550346ae7a8b5ff8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Focus question #2(Think-Pair-Share)
Under this plan, the assumption is that the particular course (discipline) a student takes is not critical. Do you agree with this assumption? Why or why not? Suggestions based on
evidence?
![Page 18: College and Career Readiness in Science and Technology/Engineering STE Readiness Centers October 2013.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110116/551b6b04550346ae7a8b5ff8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Academic Requirements for CCR
MA current standards suggest options for students and districts Most MA districts require 3 years, but
what constitutes those courses varies widely
NGSS suggests a defined set of HS standards, taking 3 years to learn
