The STEM Crisis continued…
80% of jobs available to current 15-year-olds will be STEM jobs
97% of children from urban centers will be denied access to these jobs
60% of these jobs will be filled by foreign nationals
The cycle needs to be broken

The STEM Crisis continued
Children from urban centers are denied access to careers in STEM.
Do they have Role Models in STEM?Have we made STEM a priority?
Bottom Line: We must expect our kids to perform at levels identical to suburban peers
Anything less is unacceptable.“We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders” B.Obama 1/20/09

CT in STEM
STEM (health) the number one growing field… New Haven is the hub.
CT Manufacturing can’t find workers with enough STEM skills. (Green/Energy is the future)
ALL data points to STEM skills being the key.
“We will launch a "new era" of science education in the United States, one that encourages students to ask tough, challenging,questions” -Arne Duncan Mar 20

The key to schooling is LITERACY
The key to the future is SCIENCE

What?: CT State Standards
Follow National Guidelines (Project 2061 from AAAS, National Standards from National Research Council, NAEP standards)
Implement recommendations of“Nation at Risk”, “Gathering
Storm”Inquiry, Issues (STS), Concepts, Integration

CSDE Science Position Statement Sept
2008* District Responsibilities
include: Ensure that the instructional focus (time) for science is comparable to that provided for language arts and mathematics, and that teachers are able to integrate literacy and numeracy instruction within the context of students science learning experiences.
Provide students with multiple opportunities every week to experience inquiry investigations that develop students abilities to question, explore, observe, gather simple data, create graphs, draw conclusions based on the data and build their understanding of natural phenomena.
Ensure that 80 percent of science instructional time is devoted to inquiry-based investigations.
