What is STEM Education• Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics Education• A focus on the linkages between
these content areas• A philosophy of education that
embraces real-world, project-based, integrated curricula and mastery assessment

Why STEM Education• Technology can solve many world
problems• USA not producing enough engineers
and scientists-we are lagging in innovation
• The Federal Government should promote the creation of at least 200 new highly-STEM-focused high schools and 800 STEM-focused elementary and middle schools over the next decade, including many serving minority and high-poverty communities. (PCAST rec’mdtn)

PREPARE AND INSPIRE: K-12 EDUCATION IN STEM FOR AMERICA’S FUTURE (PCAST)
• The Nation’s future depends on our ability to educate today’s students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
• There are wide disparities in STEM achievement among groups, and too many students think of STEM subjects as too difficult or uninviting.

Inquiry-based curriculum• Structured inquiry: teacher provides
problem, procedures, materials, but not expected outcomes
• Guided inquiry: teacher provides materials and problem, but not procedures or outcomes
• Open inquiry: learners formulate their own problem to investigate, as well as the procedures and outcomes
![Page 11: STEM Education Meeting Cleveland Metropolitan School District September 22, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816195550346895dd13abf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mastery Assessment• Assessment is based on student
attainment of the goal, standard or outcome measure
• In a “Traditional” Assessment System, Performance is variable while time is not.
• In a “Mastery” Assessment System, Time is variable while Performance is not.

Design Principles1.Ensure opportunities for all students to be
academically challenged2.Use multiple matrices to measure success
through mastery3.Provide instructional programs that are trans-
disciplinary 4.Deliver highly differentiated instructional
programs5.Hire and train a diverse faculty6.Serve as a microcosm of the global STEM
community7.Recognize the importance of citizenship

Designing a STEM Investigation
• Generate questions the students are interested in
• Categorize as “investigable” (I can do it in my classroom/school), “non-investigable” (I cannot do it in my classroom), or “not sure”
• Discuss with planning team and pick a question to focus on
![Page 17: STEM Education Meeting Cleveland Metropolitan School District September 22, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816195550346895dd13abf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Designing a STEM Investigation
• Identify two or three indicators from both mathematics and science Scope and Sequence the investigation will target
• Outline problem, materials, procedures
• Provide timeline for investigation• Prepare students with background
knowledge in content and processes

Designing a STEM Investigation
• Discuss evaluation of mastery of objectives
• Design recording and reporting mechanisms
• Implement investigation• Assess student outcomes• Reflect on outcomes• Prepare report for next meeting• Plan next investigation
