ADVANCING WORKSHOP
9/20/17
Workshop Objectives
• Reflect upon your connection to the four pillars of STEM education
• Share experiences on Action Plan implementation
• Collaborate with partner schools to facilitate new connections
INTRODUCTION
Pathway Update
Critical Elements for STEM Implementation
Which do you think is the most critical when implementing STEM programs in your school or district?
1. Teachers/leaders buy-in
2. Aligning content
3. Assessments
4. Budget/resources
5. Maintaining partnerships
6. Diversity of students
PollEverywhere
STEM Education is defined by…
Inquiry-based science and math education
Integrated curriculum
Project-based group learning
Career awareness
Four Pillars Google Survey
With which STEM pillar do you most connect?
With which STEM pillar do you least connect?
How do you connect with the “most” pillar?
How could you connect better with the “least” pillar?

What Works
Allow for opportunities for modeling and mentoring strategies among a variety of teachers
What Works
Using the library! STEM based lessons using literature
Pitfalls to Avoid
Make sure you have a time set for meetings and direction of the team; we can meet forever!
Pitfalls to Avoid
Spending money on bells & whistles; don’t put the money you have in to
the wrong place; you don’t need “shiny objects”
Action Plan Goals Discussion New partner activity – 20 to 30 minutes
STEPS:
1. Briefly share your action plan goals with your partner; your partner should ask questions about your plan and its implementation to stimulate conversation.
2. Switch!
3. Complete the Pitfalls and What Works notes throughout the conversation.
4. Post the notes on the wall afterwards
Data Share Four Pillars of Stem Education
Here are the results of our survey:
Place Data in this slide once
Action Plan discussion has begun.
Reform back into district/school groups
Discuss how information gained can be used going into next year.
What are 3 takeaways?
How will these takeaways affect next year?
Share out
Reconvene and Share Out
We value your feedback!
