2 A commitment to develop the ‘design sensibility’ of students by infusing Innovation through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Design, Mathematics, and Medical.

Overarching Goals of STEAM2Framework • To develop the “design sensibility” of students through the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Design, Mathematics, and the Medical fields • To develop students as creative thinkers, innovative designers, creative problem solvers in the context of a robust implementation of the new core standards We Envision. . . . . .each Lakota student as a creative and innovative designer who employs creativity, creative problem solving, and the design process to create and design solutions to personal and real-world problems.

4. Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS, K-12 “A significant difference in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is the integration of engineering and technology into the structure of science education. This integration is achieved by raising engineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry in classroom instruction when teaching science disciplines at all levels and by giving core ideas of engineering and technology the same status as those in other major science disciplines.”Appendix A – Conceptual Shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards, p. 4

The “E” of STEM

2) (STEAM

“E”ngineering and Arts/Design Two notions:

• little “e” = engineering/design process pedagogy in curriculum // instruction // assessment • big “E” = Engineering as a vocation or career

Preparing Students for Their Future • College-ready • Career-ready • Innovation-ready

Internships & Field Experiences for STEAM2 Lakota has added internships (field experiences) to give students a deeper, richer, and more relevant learning experiences to complement rigor of academic program

Two Models of Internships • District-Managed Internship Model • Employer-Managed Internship Model

District-Managed Internship Model • Student applies to the district to be considered for the internship experience • District interviews and selects students for internship program • Students/parent(s) attend informational meeting, and sign Student Internship Agreement Form, Parent Consent Form, and Confidentiality Agreement with business • Student (or parent) provide own transportation • Students complete orientation and all rotations • Upon successful completion of internship experience (rotations and Reflective Journal), students receive elective high school credit for experience

Examples of District-Managed Internships West Chester Hospital

Procter & Gamble

Example: West Chester Hospital

Hospital Biomedical Internship Program • • • • •

Rotations Imaging • Clinic/Laboratory Inpatient Units • Pharmacy Operating Room • Rehabilitation Services Perioperative Areas • Respiratory Therapy Emergency Department

Example: Procter & Gamble

Procter & Gamble Engineering Experience • • • • • •

Rotations Modeling, Simulation & Analysis Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electrical (Control Systems) Engineering Cost Engineering Materials & Welding Engineering Process Engineering

Employer-Managed Internship Model • Student applies to the employer rather than the school district • Employer interviews and selects students for internship program • Students can apply for elective high school credit for successful completion of internship experience through the district’s Credit Flex process

Example:

kinetic vision A global, full-service engineering and design firm

kinetic vision Engineering & Design Experience • Concept ideation and design • Prototype development • Product design and engineering • Custom software development • Reverse engineering

• Product visual communication • Digital media creation

Establishing a Partnership for Internships • Agree upon type of internship (districtmanaged or employer-managed); this defines the focus and scope of partnership agreement and program objectives • Develop and approve partnership agreement • Agree upon internship program objectives and learning experiences of each rotation • Develop timeline and schedule • Market program, recruit and select students • Implement the internship program
