Nishikant Sonwalkar and Ben Owens Many of today’s classrooms look very much like they did 100 years ago: rows of desks, students passively listening to lecture-based instruction, and a one-size-fits all method of instruction. These classrooms look nothing like the real world’s fast-moving, tech-savvy global workplaces, and until we make the insides of our schools look more like the outside, the U.S. will continue to graduate students who are ill-prepared for college and careers. Just take a look at the numbers: According to the National Math + Science Initiative, only 36% of 2013 high school seniors graduated with the knowledge and skills they needed to succeed in college science courses. Ben Owens and his Physics Students How to Bring Learning Innovations Into Every Classroom Educators and administrators must be willing to find methods that are a better match to the real world.
Here are a few key ways to do just that: 1. Al sur Twitter : "Sam Dyson @NSTA shares 6 learning & design principles of #connectedlearning & impact-STEAM studios 4 students #NSTA15.

The Hidden STEM Economy. Workers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields play a direct role in driving economic growth.
Yet, because of how the STEM economy has been defined, policymakers have mainly focused on supporting workers with at least a bachelor’s (BA) degree, overlooking a strong potential workforce of those with less education but substantial STEM skills. An analysis of the occupational requirements for STEM knowledge finds that: As of 2011, 26 million U.S. jobs—20 percent of all jobs—require a high level of knowledge in any one STEM field. STEM jobs have doubled as a share of all jobs since the Industrial Revolution, from less than 10 percent in 1850 to 20 percent in 2010.
Half of all STEM jobs are available to workers without a four-year college degree, and these jobs pay $53,000 on average—a wage 10 percent higher than jobs with similar educational requirements.
