  2. Why STEM? STEM education is an economic imperative for Georgia and America The demand for workers in STEM occupations is increasing at every education level.  By 2018, America will be short one million nurses, 200,000 doctors, and 400,000 engineers. We want our children to be able to find a good job, move out of the house, and raise a family without our funds= STEM education.

  3. STEM Certification Process STEM School Certification STEM Program Certification

  4. Two types of STEM Schools/Programs Exclusive Inclusive

  5. STEM Certified Programs • The students in the program must be designated as the STEM population. • Non-traditional student participation

  6. Curriculum characteristics that are sustainable • 100% of STEM teachers are certified in his/her subject area

  7. Teacher professional learning is on-going and in content area • Time is allocated for STEM teachers to collaborate and plan together • Students complete a STEM pathway

  8. STEM students are required to take advanced math and science courses (math and science courses for elementary and middle school would need to prepare students for the next grade band) • Business, Community, and Post-Secondary Partnerships involved in instructional program

  9. Students are involved with math, science, and CTE competitions on a regular basis (there must be evidence of all three). • Performance assessments • STEM Integration • STEM Labs

  10. Student rigor & relevance & instructional quality Student internships and/or capstone project Technology integration Accountability

  11. Grand Challenges • Make solar energy economical • Provide energy from fusion • Develop carbon sequestration methods • Manage the nitrogen cycle • Provide access to clean water • Restore and improve urban infrastructure • Advance health informatics

  12. Grand Challenges • Engineer better medicines • Reverse-engineer the brain • Prevent nuclear terror • Secure cyberspace • Enhance virtual reality • Advance personalized learning • Engineer the tools of scientific discovery
