y Align P-12 STEM curriculum with college requirements and workplace expectations in

order to prepare all students for postsecondary success

y Triple the number of teachers in STEM shortage areas who are prepared in Maryland

programs, increase their five-year retention rate from an estimated 50% to 75%, and

enhance the STEM preparation and aptitudes for elementary and early childhood

teachersy Ensure that all P-20 mathematics and science teachers have the knowledge and skills

to

help all students successfully complete the college- and career-ready curriculum

y Provide STEM internships, co-ops, or lab experiences for all interested high school and

college students to jump-start their successful transition to the workplace

y Increase the number of STEM college graduates by 40% from the present level of 4,400

graduates by 2015

y Boost Marylands global competitiveness by supporting research and entrepreneurship

y Create Marylands STEM Innovation Network to make STEM resources available to all

Revise the Maryland State Curriculum PreK 12, assessments andaccountability system based on the Common Core Standards to assure

that all graduates are college and career ready.

Adopt Common Core Standards by Summer 2010

Agree with higher education on college-ready standards

Revise high school graduation requirements

4 years of mathematics, including Algebra II Develop interdisciplinary STEM curriculum

Begin work on new assessments based on Common CoreStandards (as part of assessment consortia)


13/39

Build a statewide technology infrastructure that links all data elementswith analytic and instructional tools to monitor and promote student

achievement.

Accelerate and fully implement the longitudinal data system

Develop online instructional toolkit to support newstandards and assessments

Align data systems with higher education and workforce

Provide high quality professional development on the accessand use of data systems


14/39

Redesign the model for the preparation, development, retention, andevaluation of teachers and principals.

Define effective and highly effective teachers and principals

Develop teacher and principal evaluation frameworks withstudent growth being a significant component

Revise teacher preparation programs to meet the demands of

the 21st century

Develop programs to prepare teachers and principals for the

challenges of working in low-achieving schools


15/39

Fully implement the innovative Breakthrough Center approach fortransforming low-achieving schools and districts.

Cross-divisional, statewide system ofcoordinating, brokering, and delivering support for low-achieving schools

Builds upon Title I program success

Helps maximize resources ineducation, business, government, and research centers

Currently in a limited number of schools and districts

Problem-based Learning

What isPB

L? A learning strategy characterized by self-

directed active learning starting with an ill-

structured problem before any instruction

Learners probe deeply into issues searching

for connections, grappling with complexity

and using knowledge to fashion solutions

An excellent instructional method that cancultivate students critical thinking, develop

their abilities to analyze and solve problems

Why PBL?

Asks students to demonstrate understanding,not to just gather and rewrite information

Builds critical thinking and reasoning skills

Promotes student creativity andindependence

Allows students to manage their own activities

Can change bored students into engagedstudents

PBL in K-12

y Solve a complex question or problem through acollaborative process of investigation

yLearn content, information, and facts necessary

to draw conclusions about the questionyLearn valuable skills and habits of mind

yAre evaluated on their ability to reason andapply knowledge as they work on a problem

K-12 cont

y Students work in flexible groups to solve

challenging problems that are

authentic, curriculum-based, and often

interdisciplinaryy Students create knowledge and understanding

through learning activities built around

intellectual inquiry and a high degree ofengagement* with meaningful tasks

y Projects take the role traditionally given to tests

and quizzes
