North Dakota
STEM is about changing classroom dynamics to motivate all students. The methodology includes integration of content and context, in other words, connecting the abstract to the world of students. On a macro level, our school systems are fragmented and do not do well to serve the state workforce needs or reinforce our economic development investments. A proven method of changing classroom dynamics and serving the state’s future needs is to involve all stakeholders in a coordinated statewide STEM Learning Network. The Great Plains STEM Education Center is in the process of facilitating that effort.
Ohio
The Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN) is more than a network that only assists in starting up STEM schools. OSLN has evolved to a network that leverages existing STEM schools and programs to spread effective practices and tools across the state and the nation. It supports the growth and quality of STEM education in Ohio by connecting the best STEM schools, teachers and administrators to each other and to national resources; assisting schools and communities that want to create new STEM schools and programs; and driving innovations through a network approach.
