• W259282021 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] THE CONVERSATION ON improving science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education has moved to a national stage as President Obama and his administration continue to emphasize its importance in our nation's ability to compete with the rest of the world. Understanding the importance of this issue, K-12 district leaders are crafting technology plans that aim to help fund and execute STEM improvements--but some experts suggest that districts need to turn theft thinking around. not the technology plans that can fund STEM education, but STEM initiatives that can fund technology. How do districts make that shift in perspective? answer lies in big-picture thinking, according to ISTE President and STEM expert Helen Padgett. must develop a more strategic way of thinking in order to move STEM education to a new The name of the game now is systemic change, with districts moving toward a more rigorous interdisciplinary approach, says Padgett. Districts need comprehensive plans to bring about improvements in STEM education, and that is reflected in the funding. Funding sources such as School Improvement Grants and NEH Challenge Grants are looking for in-depth strategic district plans, confirms funding expert Jenny House of RedRock Reports. Districts must include strategic objectives in their plans, plus long-term vision, a longitudinal data-gathering system, textbooks, professional development, change management, and more, as well as hardware and software, she explains. According to Jim Bowler, CEO of Adaptive Curriculum, an online math and science publisher that works with districts to locate STEM funding, today's school districts need a new name for their technology plans. It's not really about a technology plan, he says. It's about an innovation plan with long-term goals that aligns curriculum and other resources to the plan and assesses understanding and thinking skills. In other words, this is not your father's tech plan. Change Is Fundamental Carrollton City Schools (GA) took the concept of rethinking and renaming its technology plan a step further. When the district designed a new improvement plan, officials decided to focus front and center on long-term integration of STEM courses while addressing technology, personnel, professional development, evaluation, funding sources, and No Child Left Behind. district's plan includes a STEM program at the high school level and professional development focused on co-teaching, funded by a grant from the Georgia Department of Education. We realized we were teaching science, technology, engineering, and math in isolation, says the district's superintendent, Kent Edwards, so we started out with a new program in which all STEM courses are co-taught, by, for example, a math teacher and an engineering teacher, the goal being to build student interest and improve critical thinking and problem solving skills. Carrollton City's systemic improvement plan also includes a feeder system that continually expands students' skills, starting with the youngest students. According to Edwards, the district redesigned several units for gifted students in grades 1 to 3 to include STEM, is developing a program with Lego for grades 3 to 5, and has made a STEM elective available to students at the junior high The long-term goal is to be able to teach more advanced skills at the high school level, says Edwards. And we are already starting to see some success. Our high school placed in the top 10 in a national robotics competition, and we are proud to say that we were one of the very few non-magnet, non-charter, and non-private schools to reach this level. These fundamental changes in the way schools teach and assess STEM subjects are needed to build successful innovation plans, says Bowler. He provides another example of this type of change: NSTA now recommends an end to survey courses, Bowler explains. …" @default.
