Seven Secrets to Implementing a Standards-Based Model Engineering byDesign ™ Seven Secrets to Implementing a Standards-Based Model GACTE Atlanta, Georgia July 17, 2006

Begin with the End in Mind Greetings What are the “7 Secrets?” What is Engineering byDesign™ What is T.I.D.E ? What is eTIDEonline ? What is the Engineering byDesign Network ? Georgia EbD™ Network teachers How do I get involved?

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”

“The 7 Secrets to SUCCESS!” Engineering byDesign™ Program 1.Smaller Schools and School Improvement (Reform) IS Better – Understand the Concept 2.Get to Know Your Principal and Your Community! (NO-BRAINER) 3.Commit to a Standards-Based Model – Engineering byDesign™ 4.Embrace Design through T.I.D.E. (Technology, Innovation, Design, & Engineering) as the organizer for your teaching 5.Organizing Around Career-Themed Academies is Your “Ticket to Ride” 6.Form a Collaboration Committee for STEM/Technological Literacy 7.Get Involved – Stay Involved!

What Is Engineering byDesign™?

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

Organizing Principles Engineering byDesign™ Program 1.Technology affects everyday life 2.Technology drives invention and innovation 3.Technologies combine to make systems 4.Engineering through design improves life 5.Technology creates issues 6.Technology has impacts 7.Technology is the basis for improving on the past and creating the future

Engineering byDesign™ Program Clear standards and expectations for increasing student achievement in math, science & technology Restore America’s status as the leader in innovation Construct learning from a very early age that culminates in a capstone experience that leads students to become the next generation of technologists, innovators, designers and engineers
