WELCOME

Think of this as Super Bowl Week for STEM. For the next five days, the challenges and opportunities of the sprawling issue we’ve all reduced to four letters will be the front-and-center topic in the nation’s capital. Welcome! To give STEM the impact it deserves, we’ve partnered with the USA Science and Engineering Festival and several other groups to create a weeklong series of events that will spotlight this crucial sector. Corporations and nonprofits are hosting dinners, seminars and private meetings all over town. Over the weekend, the Science Festival really brings things home to parents and students: As they did two years ago, the organizers will fill the convention center with hundreds of exhibits and hundreds of thousands of people. Make sure you stick around Friday after lunch for a sneak peek at a truly remarkable event. If the Festival is the big game, STEM Solutions is like the NFL owners meeting. In the past three years, we’ve been able to create the essential gathering for the STEM leadership community. Our goal was to assemble the best thinkers and doers among the companies and institutions working to solve the critical problem of mismatched education and jobs. A look at this year’s program and the list of attendees tells me that, thanks to all of you, we’ve achieved that goal. This year’s theme is “Where Employers and Educators Meet.” From our first STEM event in 2011, you’ve told us that this is one of the most important things we can do: Bring the people who need to fill the jobs together with the people who educate the talent. As I’ve learned, that interaction happens all too rarely. We’re dedicated to making that dialogue happen at the leadership level and to focus on ways to replicate such cooperation in every local community. But we also know that there are more parts to the equation. Government matters, as does the vast and important nonprofit sector. The package works when all these parts – embodied by the people in this room – come together. Of course, one tricky thing about leadership summits is that everyone here is a leader, but not everyone gets to be on stage. Like you, I’ve been on both ends of these discussions: at the podium and in the cheap seats. But this is what makes a great conference. We’ve pulled together fresh insights and case studies from a terrific collection of people who live in the world of “what works.” Some of us will talk, some of us will listen, all of us will chew over the results and do something about them. We’re glad to have you with us.

Best,

Bringing more students to STEM careers In a ﬁrst-of-its-kind report recently released by ACT, The Condition of STEM 2013 shows that an untapped pool of students has an interest in STEM areas but they are not planning to pursue a STEM career as they prepare for the future. The report contains national and statewide ﬁndings based on class of 2013 high school students who took the ACT® college readiness assessment. The report shows that: Q

Fully 48% of all students in the 2013 ACT-tested graduating class are interested in STEM.

Nearly one out of 10 tested graduates shows an inherent interest in a STEM-related career—as measured by the ACT Interest Inventory— but they do not indicate an interest in pursuing a STEM path of study or occupation.

The good news is that many more students than first thought are interested in science and math. Closing the gap between interests and intentions could put more students on a path to STEM-related careers, improving the STEM pipeline and alleviating the shortage of qualified workers in these fields. ACT supports efforts to help advance STEM education and careers in the United States. To find out more, visit us at Booth 601 or view our STEM report at www.act.org/stemcondition.

THURSDAY, APRIL 24 8:00 am – 9:00 am | Ballroom Foyer

Colleges in Crisis: New Revenue Streams for Higher Education Universities facing dwindling revenue streams from traditional students or traditional sources such as grants have options. Come to hear about current initiatives and discuss specific paths to achieving success via distance learning and innovative workforce development solutions.

The Forgotten Middle Many of us are concerned about the low number of African-American and Hispanic students pursuing STEM careers, but most programs have focused on just the highest performing students in those groups. What would compel the more typical student—the middle 70 percent— to consider a STEM career? Share your thoughts and learn about the results of a new survey of over 600 urban teens and parents that covered the topics of college, careers and technology jobs.

If students are going to design and build future innovations, they must design and build in school. Come see how National Instruments is helping students experience and explore what they’re learning with innovative hands-on classroom technology for educators and students—from kindergarten through university.

Share your thoughts and learn about the results of a new survey of over 600 urban teens and parents that covered the topics of college, careers and technology jobs.

The STEM Education Pathway – A Roadmap to High Quality STEM Education Join Carnegie Science Center educators on a journey to explore four essential elements of high quality PreK-12 STEM education – inquiry-based science and math education, integrated curriculum, project-based group learning, and career awareness – and strategies used by schools and districts attempting to integrate high-quality, high-impact STEM education. One of these strategies is Carnegie Science Center’s STEM Education Pathway – a roadmap for schools seeking to strengthen their PreK-12 STEM education programs which provides a self-assessment rubric to determine where on the STEM education continuum a school is currently functioning. Once this starting point is identified, the Pathway provides guidance and direction to assist schools in setting goals, as well as strategies toward achieving them. This exciting tool will be available for the 2014 – 2015 school year. Come and share your path toward high quality STEM education! Presented by:

3:00 pm – 4:00 pm SESSION 1A: The Rise of Practical Graduate Education #RiseGradEdu

Room 206 By some estimates, about 2.6 million new and replacement jobs will require an advanced degree by 2020. But outside of law and business schools, graduate education often focuses on preparing the next generation of academics, not hit-the-ground-running managers and employees with both technical and soft skills. That’s changing, thanks to the rise of the professional science master’s degree as well as revamped master’s and Ph.D. programs that build in experiential learning. This session will showcase STEM programs that are successfully graduating students with advanced degrees and the skills employers desire. SPEAKERS: Sean R. Gallagher, Ph.D., Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, UVP, LLC Patrick S. Osmer, Ph.D., Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Dean of the Graduate School, Ohio State University Deborah Silver, Ph.D., Executive Director, Professional Science Master’s Program, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey MODERATOR: Anne McGrath, Managing Editor, U.S. News & World Report

#NAEP

Room 207B For nearly 50 years, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has provided a continuous and nationally representative measure of what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects, including science and math. With the growing emphasis on technology and engineering in the classroom and in our daily lives, evidence of what students can do in these areas is essential for developing policies, plans and programs. Join us to learn about NAEP’s new, computer-based Technology and Engineering Literacy (TEL) assessment. TEL is the first nationwide, cross-curricular assessment to provide evidence about what students know about technology and engineering and the roles they play in their lives. Using interactive, scenario-based tasks, TEL will also measure students’ ability to develop solutions to technological and engineering problems and use technology to communicate and collaborate effectively. SPEAKERS: Lonnie Smith, Assessment Specialist, ETS William Ward, Senior Research Scientist, Assessments Division, National Center for Education Statistics MODERATOR: Peggy Carr, Ph.D., Associate Commissioner, Assessment Division, National Center for Education Statistics

SESSION 3A: First Comes Math: The Need for Remediation #1Math

Room 202B Many studies have shown that only about 12 percent of community college students who plan to go on for a four-year STEM degree start off capable of college-level math, the foundation of everything in STEM. It’s clear that math remediation is key to feeding the STEM pipeline, but the typical developmental course is a turnoff and fully 70 percent of students who place into these classes don’t complete them, dropping out of a degree program or changing direction away from STEM. This session looks at novel promising approaches to accelerated and engaging remediation.

Shell Oil Workshop: “Connecting the Dots” Building K-12 STEM Career Awareness and Excitement Through Active Learning #ConnectDots

Presented by:

Room 204C While students’ pathways may follow different configurations of dots as they pursue STEM careers and others, it is important that teachers recognize and convey the best possible configurations that are available to them. Outside of family, teachers are viewed as having the greatest influence and impact on students’ formative years. The purpose of this workshop is to help teachers become familiar with the energy industry and projected 2020 STEM workforce needs in the industry. Teachers will be provided with the opportunity to make connections between the STEM curriculum and real world industry application. Our goal is to equip teachers with information and resources that will assist in motivating students to pursue exciting STEM careers. Shell is partnering with the National Energy Education Development Project (NEED) organization to ensure teachers walk away with at least two active-learning activity projects and culturally-relevant materials that can be implemented in the classrooms to generate excitement and interest in STEM. As participants, teachers will also be invited to enter the Shell Teacher Challenge, with the top 5 entries receiving $1000 to support their school’s STEM initiatives. SPEAKERS: Michael J.
