1 A Standards-Based National Model Engineering byDesign ™ 2006 Texas Technology Education Professional Development Conference San Antonio, Texas July 24-26, 2006

2 Begin with the End in Mind Pathways! STEM! TIDE! SLC! PLC!! ??????? What does it mean to be Standards-Based? What is Engineering byDesign™ ? Why use the CATTS-EbD™ model course guides ? What are the 7 Secrets? Rigor and “My Favorite Stuff” How can I get involved?Next Steps!

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”

8 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

9 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.

10 Guiding Principles of Standards-Based Programs Common expectations for student learningCommon expectations for student learning Developmentally appropriate for studentsDevelopmentally appropriate for students Basis for developing meaningful, relevant, and articulated curricula at the local, state, regional, and provincial levelsBasis for developing meaningful, relevant, and articulated curricula at the local, state, regional, and provincial levels Interdisciplinary content connections with other areas of study in Grades K-12Interdisciplinary content connections with other areas of study in Grades K-12 Encourage and promote active experiential learning (we are about hands-on.)Encourage and promote active experiential learning (we are about hands-on.)

18 Course Guides

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

20

21 Why is All this Important? Because we want: students to be Technologically Literate student achievement to be measurable professional development to be consistently implemented curriculum to be consistent flexible lessons that meet community needs math, science, reading/writing to be truly integrated To be able to show the VALUE-ADDED

22 Students can do no better than the assignments they are given... Rigor – What is it? 75% are asked to DRAW!

23 Grade 10 Writing Assignment A frequent theme in literature is the conflict between the individual and society. From literature you have read, select a character who struggled with society. In a well-developed essay, identify the character and explain why this character’s conflict with society is important. Substitute “society” with “technology”

24 Grade 10 Writing Assignment Write a composition of at least 4 paragraphs on Martin Luther King’s most important contribution to this society. Illustrate your work with a neat cover page. Neatness counts.

25 The OdysseyNinth Grade High-level Assignment Comparison/Contrast Paper Between Homer's Epic Poem, The Odyssey and the Movie "0 Brother Where Art Thou" By nature, humans compare and contrast all elements of their world. Why? Because in the juxtaposition of two different things, one can learn more about each individual thing as well as something about the universal nature of the things being compared. For this 2-3 page paper you will want to ask yourself the following questions: what larger ideas do you see working in The Odyssey and "0 Brother Where Art Thou"? Do both works treat these issues in the same way? What do the similarities and differences between the works reveal about the underlying nature of the larger idea?

26 The OdysseyNinth Grade Low-level Assignment Divide class into 3 groups: Group 1 designs a brochure titled "Odyssey Cruises". The students listen to the story and write down all the places Odysseus visited in his adventures, and list the cost to travel from place to place. Group 2 draws pictures of each adventure. Group 3 takes the names of the characters in the story and gods and goddesses in the story and designs a crossword puzzle.

27 Single biggest predictor post- high school success is QUALITY AND INTENSITY OF HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM Cliff Adelman, Answers in the Tool Box, U.S. Department of Education.

28 Instead of Emphasizing “Big Ideas” Rigor We OFTEN teach “MY FAVORITE STUFF” Sometimes known as the “Julie Andrews Syndrome” (These are a few of my favourite things…)

39 What is a Professional Learning Community? Professional: Someone who has developed expertise in a specialized field through advanced education and is expected to remain current in its evolving knowledge base. Learning: Ongoing action and curiosity Community: Any group of people who live in the same area or have interests, work, etc. in common. Considered a place of support and mutual cooperation.
