NSF Math and Science Targeted Partnership

1

A program of the

National Science Foundation

Leverage university expertise to improve K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) outcomesCommunity Enterprise for STEM Learning - expand the composition of partnerships in order to integrate necessary supports for students so they can learn challenging mathematics, science, engineering, and/or computer science. This involves attentiveness to aspects of their lives that reach beyond the school setting.

Inquiry-led and evidence-based including quantitative assessment, and be targeted to obtain greatest improvement for the effort

Must be sustainable beyond funding period via institutional change at university and school system

$7.4 million over 5 years

(currently in year 5)

Program Goals

2

Create a sustainable program to

improve STEM educational outcomes in three neighborhoods

. (Greektown/Highlandtown, Greater Homewood and Park Heights)

To build expertise and excitement for STEM learning within these neighborhoods by engaging in collaborative work between:

T

eachers

and students in grades 3-5Afterschool program operatorsCommunity based organizations P

arents and caregiversFaculty and students from Johns Hopkins

UniversitySTEM professionals in Baltimore area businesses, and local museumsCommunity members

Out of School Time – Afterschool Program

The heart of

SABES afterschool are student-driven projects. Program partners collaborate with afterschool providers to provide 4 hours a week of hands-on STEM instruction through the use

of Engineering Adventures and NPASS2

structured curriculum. Students then look at their local communities and determine projects based upon how STEM can improve or solve a problem they observe. The program aims to

engage students in STEM activities relevant to their lives such as:

Remote control backpacks

Trash skimming and cleaning devices

Water purification technologyComposting in schools

OST – Afterschool Program

16

JHU mentors visit the adopted school grade in pairs at least once/week to assist students with their

projects

Mentors and facilitators use NPASS2 and Engineering Adventures curriculum to as an introduction to the engineering design process before transitioning

to student-driven projects

Staff utilize

the Engineering Design Process as developed for Engineering is Elementary by the Museum of Science, Boston

We have modified the Create step to include Test

Each grade has two tracks

Tracks are assigned for each class by the program manager in conjunction with the coaches based on staff and student experience level.

More time for student-driven projectsAt most, classes will complete two structured curriculum

units. Students

will have more time for student-driven projects.
