Poster Hall

During the poster hall, meeting participants were asked to respond to four questions and their responses were captured in this image by the graphic recorder. Q1) What was the most interesting thing you have learned so far? A1) Our conversations are finally shifting…from fixing students to fixing institutions. Industry engagement and support of K-12 Programs. Implementation of STEM takes many forms with predictable commonalities at the core. Q2) Why is research important as we design the next generation of STEM learning? A2) Research engages students and teachers. Makes science real. Students learn they can have impact. Q3) What is necessary to enable students to get a next generation STEM education? A3) More STEM schools and programs. Increasing the participation of students with disabilities in computing (Access CS10K, DeafTEC). Eradicate poverty. Multi-year funding. Funds to encourage existing model schools to grow/replicate.  Q4) What message do you hope is conveyed to the White House Next Generation High School Summit tomorrow? A4) Success=when having disabilities is seen as “no big deal.” Computer Science needs to be an integral part of the H.S. curriculum. STEM Leadership matters. STEM is about a school culture set and maintained by principals. Create pathways for students of ALL backgrounds to succeed. No cookie cutter approach. Assess teachers on their skill sets, not on student grades or test scores. University-H.S. partnerships make changes happen! Change how we look at learning…interdisciplinary, inter-subject, project-based, creative, student-driven, inclusive!
