The STEM Crisis

我们的主要全球问题是呈指数级的 - 人口增长，对淡水的需求，全球温度升高，数据的产生 - 也是技术变革的速度以及对公民的需求和精通科学，技术，工程的工人和工人的需求。数学（Stew）。对于我们的国家和经济安全，我们必须增加（指数级？）符合术语的人数和追求茎教育和职业的学生人数。但是，指数也是，是小学生和高中生之间的兴趣和能力的下降。

致力于解决美国茎干教育的挑战需要公共，私营和政府部门之间的伙伴关系。科学家的科学(SfS), a Boston-based non-profit STEM enrichment organization, established its Minnesota office during the 2016-2017 academic year with the generous and insightful support of the Newton and Kohrs Families, 3M, Boston Scientific, Regenerative Medicine Minnesota, and Braun Intertec, the promotional efforts of The Medical Alley Association, and the enthusiastic participation of two elementary schools, Battle Creek Elementary School in St. Paul and Poplar Bridge Elementary School in Bloomington. This partnership brought SfS’ In-School Module-Based (ISMB) STEM Enrichment Program to 330 4th- and 5th-grade students and their classroom teachers with significant results. Participating student proficiency scores on the 5th-grade Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment in Science increased by 10 full percentage points in both schools (representing pre- to post-program improvements of 16% and 26%)! Both of those schools and six others located in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Forest Lake – serving a total of 1,194 students in 4th through 8th grades – participated in the program during the 2017-2018 school year; impact results are due later this summer.

Discovery-Based Learning

除了茎干的增加之外，ISMB计划通过对课堂带来指数乐趣来增加学生对茎的兴趣。来自科学家的科学家向每个合作学校（上学期间）发出同样的魅力科学家，在整个学年中每隔一周看到同一群学生（〜18次）。在每次访问期间，SFS教练通过下一代科学标准（NGSS），与国家学术标准一致，并由课堂教师选择，以补充其现有课程的课程，通过动手课程（全部干部主题）引导学生。一名学生说，“说实话，我爱过每一教训。他们很有趣，他们进入了我的大脑。“

幂态也是有趣的学习可以带到参与学生的意义。从你的年轻人中回忆起一个关键和难以忘怀的生活时刻，在此期间，您学到了改变了生活过程的东西。机会是，你被沉浸在经验中，受到榜样的影响，并具有强烈​​的情感或突然洞察力。SFS的ISMB计划旨在带来积极的，发现的“AHA”与所有学生的角色模型一起学习 - 无论情况如何或手段 - 鼓励各种学生追求干田的职业生涯。

遏制教育克服挑战

The ISMB program uniquely addresses the factors that influence whether students have the confidence and proficiency to pursue STEM in high school and beyond. Social stigmas are removed, because the program serves all students in a grade level during school. Lessons are hands-on activities that reach students with a variety of learning styles; they are guided by real professionals, providing students with connections to role models, who encourage them to try new things. The program assists teachers, because it correlates to academic standards and provides them flexibility to choose lessons that best meet their needs, provides all materials and supplies, and offers embedded professional development with access to related educational resources. Employees of corporate sponsors have the chance to participate in classroom activities as volunteers. Parents, who may otherwise be unable to reinforce STEM education, have access to lesson descriptions and follow-up activities with inexpensive household items.

Looking to the Future

目前，指数是明尼苏达州学校对ISMB计划的需求。在城市和农村地区拥有20多所公众，宪章和私立学校，正在要求2018-2019学年计划。来自Shakopee至Wauuuuubun的小学和中学的3,600多名学生可以在明年参加该计划。

可以在没有指数上升的情况下实现指数变化 - 我们只需要创新的伙伴关系，这些伙伴关系将为所有参与者带来最好的伙伴关系！
