Defined WHAt ??? by felice https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9 Made with love en-us 2017-12-13 15:48:28 UTC 2017-12-14 13:58:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Fine arts https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215867861 How can drama, music, and art used defined stem? There are not any arts examples on the website.

My first thought is that drama, music and art can be a resource for other teachers. For example, the art teacher may help with graphics for an advertisement, or drama may help with the development of a skit or song. Felice ]]> 2017-12-13 16:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215867861 Will the school pay for the materials? Since we are at the Junior High we have 70-150 students? barbara_green https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215876782 Yes, materials can be purchased. I recommend  open ended materials such as poster board, paint, straws, etc....Felice ]]> 2017-12-13 16:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215876782 How do I use Defined Stem if I only have the students for 45 minutes a day? https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215884076 Great question, you can work with your SLT team to develop an implementation plan.  You can be flexible, maybe part of the 45 mins a day , a day of the week, early release AM's,  flexible cohorts during the day, the possibilities are endless.

How do the Read 180 and Math 180 teachers implement Defined Stem?  We have limited time and Blocks of content to complete.

Karen Brown can help you work through your curriculum materials to see how to best fit in in.

How will our students test compared to students in other distrcts?? https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215948394 The move to problem based learning and performance tasks have proven to make a difference in student achievement. If we focus on quality instruction, the test scores will take care of themselves.  We teach Kids not content.

The activity should be aligned to the correct grade level- however the readings can be accessed at the student's lexile level as needed.  I would work with our Special Education Teachers for specific questions around IEP accommodations.  Felice ]]> 2017-12-13 21:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/215994637 https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/216044510 2017-12-14 06:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/216044510 It was said that the Jr. High teachers will be discussing and planning our defined stem lessons during the January early release. There are MANY teachers on the NGSS team who are required to meet at another building and several others who will be elsewhere for national boards. How will this be handled so that these teachers will also have a voice in the planning and implementation for our building? And get the important information that will be discussed on that day and others in the future? https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/216145301 2017-12-14 13:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/felice_hybert/exhf6ioj1vw9/wish/216145301
