About

The 8th Annual STEM Forum & Expo, hosted by NSTA, is a unique, focused event that brings together (informal and formal) educators and representatives from exhibiting companies who are interested in, and who have tools and resources to share that will ensure successful implementation of STEM education into our schools and communities.

It is intended to provide resources for educators and organizations seeking to learn more about STEM education, associated outreach programs, partnerships, schools, and curricula.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is more than a concept diagram with connections among four (or more) subject areas. It's a unique way of knowing and exploring the world. The STEM approach involves the essence of the practices of science and engineering. Tools like communication skills are interwoven in STEM explorations.

That seamlessness is what challenges educators around the world. Below is a sample compilation of NSTA o‡erings, resources, and tools selected based on their multidisciplinary nature and ability to integrate across two or more subject matters to help teachers provide quality STEM instruction.

Three-dimensional teaching and learning poses both new challenges and new opportunities in assessment. In this workshop, participants focus on how to address the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities. They learn to examine student models for evidence of three-dimensional learning. They also learn criteria they can use to evaluate the quality of assessment tasks and analyze tasks in an effort to improve their quality.

Workshop Objectives:

Construct an explanation of the key feature of assessing three-dimensional learning

Analyze assessment tasks to determine whether they are likely to elicit evidence of three-dimensional learning

Evaluate student artifacts for evidence of three-dimensional learning

Modify assessment tasks to better assess three-dimensional learning based on criteria for evaluating the quality of the tasks
