The Next Generation Science Standards provide a framework and examples for STEM learning. Grounded in the National Academy of Science's thoughtful Framework for K-12 Science Education, these new K-12 science standards have been developed to provide students an internationally benchmarked science education, and signify a new direction for STEM education. They elevate the importance of Earth science, present engineering education as coequal with science education for the first time and emphasize a key set of Scientific and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts that should buttress all learning in these disciplines.
The NGSS hold the potential for helping focus the current national concern for improving STEM education. They will undoubtedly help bring clarity and unity to the patchwork of state standards developed throughout the standards movement in the past decades. As this occurs, innovative educational technology will be a critical component in this STEM education revolution. One-Day Nanotechnology Workshops, Public Engagement Portal, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Nano-CEMMS educators provide one-day hands-on workshops for up to 30 elementary, middle and high school teachers. These workshops are intended to introduce science, mathematics, and industrial arts teachers to nanotechnology. Emphasis is placed on project-based teaching and the need for a focus on promoting an interest in science, mathematics and engineering among their students.
Teachers learn basic nanotechnology concepts through a series of learning modules that have been developed by Nano-CEMMS educators and teachers who have attended the summer institutes. Workshops can be held at your school if travel expenses are covered. Please contact Polly Kroha, the Center's Managing Director, to organize a workshop for your district. The workshops are often conducted during in-service days. Schedule for a typical workshop: Nanoscape. - DiscoverNANO. NSI: Nanotechnology Knowledge Infrastructure (NKI)-- Enabling National Leadership in Sustainable Design. Nanotechnology solves global challenges by generating and applying new multidisciplinary knowledge of nanoscale phenomena and engineered nanoscale materials, structures, and products. The data underlying this new knowledge are vast, disconnected, and challenging to integrate into the broad scientific body of knowledge. This signature initiative, Nanotechnology Knowledge Infrastructure: Enabling National Leadership in Sustainable Design, will leverage and extend existing and emerging resources, programs, and technologies to create an infrastructure to accelerate the vetting of new knowledge and to enable effective data utilization.
CPSC staff will provide support for risk-modeling approaches and expertise in data collection and interpretation of data assessing potential effects from exposure to nanomaterials. NIST’s contributions to this signature initiative will leverage its long-standing expertise in metrology and data information science. Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization.
