Transferability:

Bellevue College CHS credits are guaranteed to transfer to all public Washington State colleges and universities. Transferability to other colleges is not guaranteed (every other college sets their own policies just as they do for AP credits), but most colleges seem to accept these credits if the grade has been an A or B

(sometimes C too).

What students can do at this level of proficiency

Students at proficiency Level 6 can conceptualize, generalize and utilize information based on their investigations and modeling of complex problems. They can link different information sources and representations and flexibly translate between them. Students at this level are capable of advanced mathematical thinking and reasoning. They can apply this insight and understanding along with a mastery of symbolic and formal mathematical operations and relationships to develop new approaches and strategies for attacking novel situations. Students at this level can formulate and precisely communicate their

5

545 actions and reflections regarding their findings, interpretations, arguments, and the appropriateness of these to the original situations.

Students at proficiency Level 5 can develop and work with models for complex situations, identifying constraints and specifying assumptions. They can select, compare, and evaluate appropriate problem-solving strategies for dealing with complex problems related to these models. Students at this level can work strategically using broad, welldeveloped thinking and reasoning skills, appropriately linked representations, symbolic and formal characterizations and insight pertaining to these situations. They can reflect on their actions and communicate their interpretations and reasoning.

Students at proficiency Level 4 can work effectively with explicit models for complex,

358 concrete situations that might involve constraints or call for making assumptions. They can select and integrate different representations, including symbolic ones, linking them directly to aspects of real-world situations. Students at this level can use well-developed skills and reason flexibly, with some insight, in these contexts. They can construct and communicate explanations and arguments based on their interpretations, arguments and actions.

Students at proficiency Level 3 can execute clearly described procedures, including those that require sequential decisions. They can select and apply simple problem-solving strategies. Students at this level can interpret and use representations based on different information sources and reason directly from them. They can develop short communications reporting their interpretations, results and reasoning.

Students at proficiency Level 2 can interpret and recognize situations in contexts that require no more than direct inference. They can extract relevant information from a single source and make use of a single representational mode. Students at this level can employ basic algorithms, formulae, procedures, or conventions. They are capable of direct reasoning and literal interpretations of the results.

PISA considers Level 2 a baseline level of mathematics proficiency at which students begin to demonstrate the kind of skills that enable them to use mathematics in ways that are considered fundamental for their future development.

Students at proficiency Level 1 can answer questions involving familiar contexts where all relevant information is present and the questions are clearly defined. They are able to identify information and to carry out routine procedures according to direct instructions in explicit situations. They can perform actions that are obvious and follow immediately from the given stimuli.

A New Vision for Science Education

Implications of the Vision of the Framework for K-12

Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards

SCIENCE EDUCATION WILL INVOLVE LESS: SCIENCE EDUCATION WILL INVOLVE MORE:

Rote memorization of facts and terminology

Facts and terminology learned as needed while developing explanations and designing solutions supported by evidence-based arguments and reasoning.

Learning of ideas disconnected from questions about phenomena

Systems thinking and modeling to explain phenomena and to give a context for the ideas to be learned

Teachers providing information to the whole class

Students conducting investigations, solving problems, and engaging in discussions with teachers’ guidance

Teachers posing questions with only one right answer

Students reading textbooks and answering questions at the end of the chapter

Students discussing open-ended questions that focus on the strength of the evidence used to generate claims

Students reading multiple sources, including science-related magazine and journal articles and web-based resources; students developing summaries of information.

Pre-planned outcome for “cookbook”

laboratories or hands-on activities

Worksheets

Oversimplification of activities for students who are perceived to be less able to do science and engineering

Multiple investigations driven by students’ questions with a range of possible outcomes that collectively lead to a deep understanding of established core scientific ideas

Student writing of journals, reports, posters, and media presentations that explain and argue

Provision of supports so that all students can engage in sophisticated science and engineering practices

Source: National Research Council. (2015). Guide to Implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (pp. 8-9). Washington, DC:

National Academies Press. http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18802/guide-to-implementing-the-next-generation-science-standards

The STEM initiative provides opportunities for thoughtful integration of technology through the use of robotics, coding, and 3-D printers. This year, the district is developing a computer science pathway for all students. K-5 teachers across the district are piloting code.org and other coding courses to help shape the future of coding experiences for Bellevue students. Developing this pathway is important not only because of the emerging career relevance of Computer Science in all industries, but also because of the need to address long-standing opportunity gaps related to race and gender. The broad impact of Bellevue’s STEM initiative is a significant feature in that it provides STEM education for all students rather than limit the impact to a single magnet school.

1

Regardless of whether a student ends up in a STEM field down the line, they will benefit from our STEM focus. This is because STEM learning experiences promote the development of 21 st century skills. We are developing opportunities for students to work creatively to solve problems. They do this in teams, so collaboration is key. Students will have to use critical thinking and develop technology skills, but ultimately our STEM students will do all of this while engaging in the core subjects.

2

The elementary STEM initiative is focused on:

• Evidence-based reasoning within science, engineering, math, and literacy

• inclusion of students in special education

• scaffolding for language learning through the integration of ELL strategies

• Support for students to be successful in working in teams (collaboration) by applying the tools from the social/emotional learning curriculum

• integration of technology into art in the upper elementary

3

Students are presented with a problem with specified criteria and constraints. For example, students are given the problem of creating a bridge that spans a certain distance and can support a given load. They test these to failure, using controlled experiments. So this is really about problem solving and analytics. Students are learning about concepts like forces, and they are learning the scientific process, all while engaging in Problem Based

Learning.

Curriculum: Kindergarten (2 engineering units written by Bellevue Kindergarten teachers);

1 st – 4 th grade two units at each grade level, Engineering is Elementary)

Teacher Professional Development: Teachers have received PD focused on the upcoming engineering unit a few weeks before they are going to teach it. The professional development is focused on integration of best practices for ELLs (i.e. GLAD strategies for vocabulary instruction, social-emotional learning, evidence-based reasoning, and writing.

Focus on Social-Emotional Learning: Collaboration is a major focus of engineering. Tools in the Ruler and Second Step curriculum are integrated into the engineering process for students. For example, engineering team charters (connected to the classroom charter), use of the meta-moment strategies when conflict arises, etc.

4

After school robotics is offered at every elementary at no cost to parents. The robotics after school programs are teacher-led. This helps promote equitable student participation and generates teacher capacity to integrate the technology into the school day. The robotics program is co-funded by the Bellevue Schools Foundation and BSD. In the Title schools, busing is available for students who participate in the robotics after school.

K/1: Bee Bots

2/3: Lego We Do

4/5: Lego Mindstorms

5

Family Engagement: Every elementary school has received a Family Engineering Kit

(http://www.familyengineering.org/) and each school offers at least one family engineering event during the school year.

Summer School: Starting the summer of 2015, every K-5 summer school class participated in an engineering unit from Engineering is Elementary.

Early Learning Program: Expansion of DreamBox adaptive math program into Bellevue

School District Early Learning Programs (pre-K).

Art: All 17 elementary schools have a 3D printer at the school. Art teachers are receiving professional development in SketchUp 3D modeling program and Ultimaker 3D printers.

Several K-5 art teachers are piloting Little Bits (electronic building blocks using circuits and design; http://littlebits.cc/)

The Job/Student gap in Computer Science

The source for the job data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, http://www.bls.gov/ . Projections for job openings and replacements in computing jobs is 1,366,200 jobs from 2010 - 2020. Projections for all other STEM jobs combined (engineering, life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences) is 908,700 jobs over the same period. This is a 60:40 ratio of jobs in Computing vs the rest of

STEM. The source for the students data comes from the College Board, surveying

2012 AP examination participation (see http://research.collegeboard.org/programs/ap/data/participation/2013), shows that of the 1,379,585 AP math and science exams taken by US high school students in 2013, only 29,555 were computer science exams. This is a 2:98 ratio of students in computer science vs the rest of STEM

8

It is difficult to get comprehensive data on K-12 computer science education in this country

But, we can look at AP participation as a key indicator

And this data reveals that only tiny fraction of all “STEM” AP tests taken are in computer science

And only a small fraction of that tiny fraction are women and minorities

http://www.bsd405.org/about/

(add in AP all other math/science participation pie chart by gender)

BSD AP enrollment by course: across all BSD high schools in fall of 2015, there are 259 students enrolled in AP Computer Science. There is a student count of 3,623 in all other AP math and science courses combined. Note: this is enrollment count, some students may be represented more than once in the math/science numbers.

67% of software jobs are outside the tech industry – in banking, retail, government, entertainment, etc. ( This statistic was included in the MSFT National Talent Strategy document and taken from a Georgetown University Center for Education and the

Workforce Report on STEM (October 2011) by Anthony Carnevale, Nicole Smith, and

Michelle Melton)

“Knowledge of computer programming is as important as knowledge of anatomy when it comes to medical research or clinical care.”

The earlier we introduce children to computer science and coding, the more comfortable they will be when presented with more in-depth learning opportunities in middle and high school.

K-5 Coding Pilot : this year BSD is launching a K-12 Computer Science/Coding pathway.

This includes coding at the elementary level. We have 85 elementary teachers, from all 17 schools, participating across the district. NOT ALL teachers in a building are participating as this is a pilot year. BSD is committed to providing coding as a necessary skill for all students to learn, and this year we have a cadre of teachers piloting curriculum and resources as we build our future model of implementation.

• K-4 Pilot classrooms will be using code.org courses and resources

• 5 th Grade Pilot classrooms will be using a Scratch course

Computer Science and Coding focus on the development of computational thinking skills.

These skills are cross-curricular and applicable to math, science, and all other subject areas.
