Questions How has STEM and integrated STEM been defined? What are distinguishing features of an integrated approach to STEM? Are there any contradictions or tensions across the varying definitions or approaches to integrated STEM? How might the STEM education community work toward a unifying definition moving forward?

Measuring Implementation of Innovations A little bit of background…. Accumulating Knowledge on Scaling and Sustaining Reform: A Foundation for Future Research ( ) Supported by the National Science Foundation Factors that Affect Sustainability of Hands-On Elementary Science Programs ( ) Supported by the National Science Foundation Measuring the Factors that Contribute to and Inhibit Implementation, Spread and Sustainability of Innovations Applying Research on Science Materials Implementation: Bringing Measurement of Fidelity of Implementation (FOI) to Scale Supported by the National Science Foundation

Factors Affecting Implementation, Spread and Sustainability of Everyday Mathematics ( ) Supported by the National Science Foundation The Ohio STEM Learning Network: A Study of Factors Affection Implementation, Spread and Sustainability ( ) Supported by the National Science Foundation Operationalizing Measurement of Implementation, Spread and Sustainability of Innovations Validation Study of Instruments for Measuring Implementation of Innovations ( ) Supported by the Department of Education Using Measures of Implementation for Program Evaluation A Foundation for Future Research ( ) Supported by the National Science Foundation

What is the status of implementation of the Platform school’s STEM school model and to what extent does the model reflect the OSLN Initiative’s Design Principles What factors have contributed to or inhibited the implementation of each Platform school’s STEM school model? What factors have contributed to or inhibited the spread of each Platform school’s STEM school model to other schools hubs and institutions over time? How do the effects of factors affecting sustainability, spread and implementation on the evolution of the implementation change over time? What is a STEM school? (bonus!) The Ohio STEM Learning Network: A Study of Factors Affecting Implementation, Spread and Sustainability Our Research Questions:

Questions 1. How has STEM and integrated STEM been defined? 2. What are distinguishing features of an integrated approach to STEM? 3. Are there any contradictions or tensions across the varying definitions or approaches to integrated STEM? 4. How might the STEM education community work toward a unifying definition moving forward?

What are we measuring? 1.Critical Components (the Innovation) The essential elements of the STEM schools – the components of the STEM school “models.” 2.Factors (that affect innovation implementation) The elements other than the STEM schools themselves that affect implementation Note: Our position is that there is not one correct way to implement a model. Our goal is to understand how a model is implemented and why, and then understand its relationship to outcomes.

The Ohio STEM Learning Network: A Study of Factors Affecting Implementation, Spread and Sustainability Can we find a way to specifically and meaningfully represent implementation “types”? Once we understand what implementation types are, what is the best way to examine the factors that contribute to and inhibit those types? What types are “best”? Which critical components are key to success? Can we bring clarity in the field about what STEM schools are and facilitate collaboration around research on STEM schools? Our Guiding Questions and Goals:

What are distinguishing features of an integrated approach to STEM? What are the distinguishing features of a STEM school? Review of school documentation: Online and print materials about the OSLN Platform school OSLN website, school website, school handbooks, presentation materials, news stories School conversations: Interviews with school personnel knowledgeable about the intended model and its components. What are the critical elements that make your school what it is? Critical component list generated for each school. Identifying, organizing, and defining school critical components. Follow-up meeting with school personnel to confirm identified components were essential elements of the school model.

Critical components are the essential elements of an innovation. Two broad types of critical components. Interactional Critical Components Examples: staff participate in decision making, staff spread practices, students participate in early college activities, teachers facilitate discussion, students demonstrate autonomy Structural Critical Components Examples: intersession, mastery learning, partnerships, collaborative governance structure, open physical space

STEM School Components… …What is a STEM School Anyway?? STEM School Mission Statements

What is STEM Anyway??... Students’ Descriptions of STEM

What is STEM? “STEM is a way of integrating all of those things to solve problems in our everyday world. We use STEM as a method to obtain sustainability.” “It’s not boring and we’re not just working in here on calculators being nerds or whatever.” “You have to come see for yourself. You can’t really define it.” “STEM is a school where you have to be creative and open minded and ready to work with others. You have to be motivated.”

Student Reasons for Attending the School Some examples of preliminary analysis…

Questions How has STEM and integrated STEM been defined? What are distinguishing features of an integrated approach to STEM? Are there any contradictions or tensions across the varying definitions or approaches to integrated STEM? How might the STEM education community work toward a unifying definition moving forward?

Descriptions are better than definitions. Disciplinary versus integrated “camps.” Kids view the disciplines of STEM differently. Elementary education is a critical piece that is the most challenging.

Intrinsic Motivation and Self Efficacy Some examples of preliminary analysis…

Descriptions are better than definitions. Disciplinary versus integrated “camps.” Kids view the disciplines of STEM differently. Elementary education is a critical piece that is very, if not the most challenging.
