What is STEM?STEM education grows out of the idea that
the boundaries between science, technology, engineering, and math are permeablepermeable.
Moreover, it asserts that its four disciplines are interdependentinterdependent.
By endeavoring to blendblend science, technology, engineering, and math in its approach, STEM education seeks to create 21st century learning opportunitiesopportunities and skill development for all all students.

NHPS STEM
Math:The language of STEM1 hr daily K-6Daily math instruction 7-12, 3 years
math required high school, goal is for 4+ years.
2011: 50% 8th graders take Algebra.Focuses on problem solving, higher order
thinking

NHPS STEMScience
100 minutes a week K-6, hands on, inquiry based science instruction.
Daily science 7-12, 3 years required, many take 4 years.
All take Phy/Chem, Biology, Chemistry.Focus on inquiry skills,
experimentation, use of science, technology in society.
16
NHPS STEM:Technology/Engineering
Technology as a tool: collaboration, research, productivity, infused in all curriculum.
Career & Technical Education Programs integrate rigorous academics, skill-based knowledge and experiential opportunities which enable all students to make informed education and career decisions, realize their potential as productive members of their communities, and successfully compete in a global economy.

Breakout: STEM Skills
We needneed your help to: identify the key skills needed
so we can align our programs and curriculum
so students can meet the needs of their future, the needs of New Haven, CT, and the nation
YOUYOU are the stakeholders!
22
Breakout rules
We have assigned everyone to one of 7 groups.
We will present a question.Spend 10 minutes discussing the
question.
Assign a reporter from your group to report back your group’s findings.
23
What does the future hold for NHPS
students 15 years from now?Discuss for 10 minutes and
prepare to report back
24
What are the essential STEM skills necessary for NHPS
students?Discuss for 10 minutes and prepare to report back
26
What are the challenges and barriers that lie
ahead?Discuss for 10 minutes and prepare to report back
28
We are now going to conduct a WALKABOUT!
With your group, find a poster that identifies Essential STEM skills necessary for NHPS students.
With your marker, put 1 star beside low priority skills, 2 stars beside medium priority skills, and 3 stars beside high priority skills.
After 4 minutes you will be asked to rotate clockwise to the next Essential STEM skills poster.
A summary of low, medium and high priority skills will be sent to you.
