NYS STEM Ed Collaborative working definition of

"STEM Education"

STEM Education refers to utilizing the NYS MST

Standards in the teaching and learning of the Science,

Technology Education, Engineering and Math (STEM)

disciplines, in an innovative, integrated, collaborative,

and applied fashion to a level of challenge sufficient for

college and/or career readiness.

BEPAA Integrated Health Sciences Program

How It Works

6

BEPAA IHS curriculum integrates subject matters and applies the

theoretical to real-life clinical relevancy to make learning easier,

faster and fun.

Humor is integrated to engage the learner; and several special

features, including video animations, 3D simulations and graphics,

are incorporated throughout the curriculum to enhance the

learning experience.

-------------------------------------

Necessary Tools the learner will need to fully engage the

curriculum A computer or mobile device with Internet access

(for out-of-class reading and homework assignments)

A four subject loose-leaf notebook and writing utensil

A calculator (particularly for the math chemistry and physics modules)

Evaluation Methods

15

The facilitator will use oral quizzing and the Socratic Method throughout

the enrichment experience to access student progress.

A 20 to 30 item Summative Exam with a combination of MCQ, Fill in

the Blank, Matching and Short-answer format questions will be

administered at the end of each module.

A learner „s performance evaluation instrument will be filled on each

student accessing class participation, peer and facilitator interaction,

ability to gather and record of information, homework assignment

completion, organizational skills, understanding of the scientific concepts,

mechanisms and theories of health science presented, research skills and

overall academic growth in life/biological and chemical science.

All of the above will be weigh together by the facilitator and the learner

will be provided performance feedback on an H= Honors, HP= High Pass,

P=Pass, F= Fail scale.

Learning Components of Each Lesson

16

1. Objectives and Key Terms

Objectives and key terms are presented at the beginning of each

lesson to help easily identify key topics, concepts and mechanisms.

2. Phonetic pronunciations follow selected key terms to assist you with

pronouncing the terms correctly.

It is also helpful to review the objectives and key terms after you

have completed independent-study review of a lesson.

Test yourself to see whether you can answer each objective and

define each key term.

If you cannot answer each objective and define each key term,

you will know which areas to study again.

3. Special Focus

The Special Focus feature provides in-depth information on areas of

particular interest that relate to concepts presented in the respective

lectures and/or textbook chapters.

Two of the main classic example we will cover are homeostasis

and “the fight-or-flight response” .

3. Quotes , Notes and Pearls

The Quotes and Notes feature gives health science related tidbits and

facts along with learning hints and inspirational messages.

These quotes and notes will also include professional caveots and

pearl of wisdom regarding key to success in academics and career

pursuits in the biomedical sciences from the primary facilitator‟s

experience.

4. Clinical Relevancy

The Clinical Relevancy helps bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Real-life clinical medicine analogies and examples illustrate how

theoretical material in life science and math applies to the scientific

foundation of clinical medicine, re-enforces learning and encourages further

study.

5. Professional Profiles

The Professional Profiles describe a variety of health professions, and include

informational documents that serve as a portal of entry to detailed online

resources in healthcare professions. (The cloud Healthcare careers folder has

four areas of focus) , Including Allied Healthcare professions, Nursing ,

Medical Technology and Physician, Surgeon and Psychiatrist (M.D.)

*N.B.-The learner is encouraged to visit the healthcare careers folder to discover

health careers and opportunities that might meet their aptitude and interest. ------------------------------------

*Latin phrase nota bene , meaning note well. It is used to emphasize an important point.

6. Pop-Quiz and and Review

The Pop- Quiz and Review at the end of lessons facilitate group participation,

reinforcement of learning, global reflection.

7. Video-Animations (all clips are professionally produced evidence-based medical

science presentations.)

This component is most critical to the learners appreciation of the richness, fun

and long term reward of the learning experience, particularly for those with a

desire to pursue a career in the healthcare industry.

The curriculum cloud folders are organized into numerous 1 to 5 min. video

clips|animations. Topics include molecular and cell biology, anatomy/autopsy cases (45 min. each),

physiology, pathophysiology and pathology, microbiology and immunology,

biochemistry and pharmacology, that reinforce material learned in the classroom.

N.B.-The learner is encouraged to view all video clips corresponding to

lecture topics provided as to receive the most out of this enrichment program.

7. Full-Color Illustrations and Photos (textbook)

Full-color illustrations and photos help clarify the lectures, classroom

discussions text and visually reinforce concepts and mechanism.

Cartoon graphics support learning through humor.

FOR SUPER-LERNERS

Chapter Reviews in the Book

The Chapter Review section of the primary text includes review

questions, a real-life issues, a applications section, and suggested

additional learning activities.

This combined review approach helps learners assess their

understanding of the unit/ chapter material and develop a

health science mind-set and higher order thinking skills, in

addition to enhancing their creativity and critical-thinking skills.

BEPAA Integrated Health Sciences Program

Module I Anatomy and Physiology Rational:

This course of study leads-off with anatomy and

physiology because you will be dealing with the human

body in your chosen health profession.

Also, having a fund of knowledge in anatomy and

physiology will facilitate the your understanding of the

examples used later in the chemistry, math, and medical

microbiology modules.
