  1. Engineering byDesign™Preparing Students for the Challengesof TomorrowTHE Primary Source for Standards-Based STEM Resources! ITEA Annual Conference March 15, 2007 San Antonio, Texas

  2. Begin with the End in Mind Steven Covey, Habit 2 • Acronyms – What’s in a name? • Review What does it mean to be Standards-Based? • What is Engineering byDesign™ ? • The Curriculum • eTIDEonline - Examples of Teacher work • CATTS Consortium – The Cost Effective Solution!

  3. We Have a Very Tough Job! • Schools are under intense pressure for students to achieve higher gains on “tests” • Teachers are coping to change from the way they learned to teach, to research-based methods • Districts are moving towards smaller schools around career themes and looking for innovative focused alternatives • Everyone has an opinion about testing, change, smaller learning communities, and school “reform” • Competition for student interest is INTENSE!

  4. Engineering byDesign™ A National Standards-based Model For Teaching & Learning STEM Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics

  5. Technology Innovation Design & Engineering 1939 New York World’s Fair

  6. A National Center For Standards-Based Teaching and Learning CATTS Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science

  7. A National Collaborative For Standards-based Teaching and Learning CATTS Consortium • 11 States Collaborating • Curriculum • Instruction • Assessment FL, GA, IL, KY, MD, MO, NC, ND, OH, PA, TX

  8. Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science A National Standards-based Professional Development Model For Teaching & Learning EbD™ Engineering byDesign™ Network FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MO, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, TX

  9. EbD™ Network Teachers • FY07 - 19 schools in 11 states • FY08 – 34 schools in 13 states

  10. EbD™ Implementation Growth

  11. Do We Teach engineering or Engineering? engineering – little “e” – used as a verb to teach all students to think or learn to engineer or use engineering concepts Engineering – big “E” – used as a noun prepare students to be Engineers – career oriented

  12. What does it mean to be Standards-Based? When the standards and benchmarks from STL are used as the major content organizer, the process is considered standards-based. + =

  17. THE CURRICULUM IS ANCHORED ON THE BENCHMARKS Based on Achieving Scientific Literacy: From Purpose to Practices by Roger W. Bybee

  18. THE CURRICULUM IS ANCHORED ON THE BENCHMARKS Based on Achieving Scientific Literacy: From Purpose to Practices by Roger W. Bybee

  19. Standards-Based Model – Grades K-16 Endorsed by * ProBase and I3 – NSF funded projects

  20. Alignment with STEM & IT Career Clusters

  22. Course Guides

  23. 5E Lesson Planning Format • Engagement • Exploration • Explanation • Extension • Evaluation

  24. Emphasizing “Big Ideas” Ideas we want students to “get inside of” and retain after they’ve forgotten many of the details. Based on Achieving Scientific Literacy: From Purpose to Practices by Roger W. Bybee

  25. Rigor Instead of Emphasizing “Big Ideas” We OFTEN teach “MY FAVORITE STUFF” Or “A Few of My Favorite Things”

  26. Julie Andrews Curriculum I think I will teach a few of my favorite things this year …

Explores the process of changing raw materials into more desirable products. Energy & Power Technologies Focuses on the relationship between energy and power technologies and all other technologies, and on how modern energy and power systems impact cultures, societies, and the environment. Examines how energy and power systems can be made more efficient and how they may be utilized in problem-solving.

  36. Construction Technologies Explores the factors influencing the design and construction of structures, including the infrastructural elements and the community development factors. Provides experience with modeling structures to scale. TransportationTechnologies Explores the complex networks of interconnected transportation subsystems and their role in the overall functional process of transportation. Provides an analysis of the improvements and the impacts of transportation technologies on the environment, society, and culture.

  37. Information & Communication Technologies Examines how technology facilitates the gathering, manipulation, storage, and transmission of data, and how this data can be used to create useful products. Explores how communications systems can solve technological problems. Medical Technologies Provides an analysis of how medical technologies are used to increase the quality and length of human life, and how increased use of technology carries potential consequences, which require public debate.
