Pike’s STEM Plan for 2017 -2018  Strategic Plan – Pike Tech Integration, Student Achievement  New positions - District Tech Integrator & District STEM Support Specialist ◦ Will provide direct support, guidance, & PD to instructional staff, principals, and other district staff ◦ Support new science and computer science standards implementation

Pike’s STEM Plan for 2017 -2018

Pike’s STEM Plan for 2017 -2018  IDOE STEM School Certification ◦ Currently two schools – PHS Career & STEM Center, Eagle Creek Elementary ◦ One school designated as “Approaching” – Guion Creek Elementary ◦ Additional schools are completing STEM School Self- Evaluation  Action plans created based on findings  STEM Specialist and Tech Integrator will provide guidance & support for moving forward

Pike’s STEM Plan for 2017 -2018

Challenges, Gaps, & Barriers  Sustainable funding sources – currently the state legislature has set aside $2,000,000 for STEM education (to be spread throughout the state)  Time for professional learning and support for implementation to teachers of varying readiness  Prioritizing STEM instruction with current accountability measures  Staying current with technology needs (hardware, software, infrastructure)
