- 6. Why does STEM matter?
- 7. Almost all of the 30 fastest-growing occupations in the next decade will require at least some background in STEM. It helps us make critical decisions about our health care, our finances and our retirement. A literate nation not only reads. It computes, investigates and innovates. http://www.changetheequation.org/why/why-stem/
- 8. STEM workers earn significantly more than their non-STEM counterparts. Workers in STEM occupations on average experience lower unemployment rates than workers in other fields. STEM jobs are the jobs of the future. STEM jobs are essential for developing our technological innovation and global competitiveness. http://www.esa.doc.gov/sites/default/files/reports/documents/stemfinalyjuly14_1.pdf
- 9. Why does STEM + Literacy matter?
- 10. • Math and ELA standards adopted by 46 states including CT • Focused on preparing students for college and career readiness • Have English/Literacy standards for Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects
- 12. Speaking and Listening • Expressing your ideas to others • Integrating info from diverse sources • Evaluating a speakers point of view, reasoning and evidence and or rhetoric
- 15. Writing • Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topic using valid reasoning and relevant evidence • Writing narratives to develop real or imagined experiences • Writing informative or explanatory text • Produce writing that is clear coherent and designed for a specific purpose or audience. • Revising and Editing – Using technology – Assessing the credibility of sources
- 17. Reading • Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly…cite text evidence • Determine central ideas, summarize key supporting details and ideas • Technical language • Evaluate arguments and claims in text, validity of reasoning, and relvancy and sufficiency of the reasoned judgement
