Target Audience:Target audiences included the following: Pre-service teacher candidates K-12 students K-12 teachers College students College faculty and staff Mathematicians and scientists from other colleges and universities K-12 students' parents and relatives Community members Community organizations Changes/Problems:We experienced turnover in project supported staff. The project support faculty member - Henry Fowler - became chair of our math department and moved full-time into that department and position, vacating a joint appointment in teacher education. The change has necessitated change of PD's from Fowler to McLaughlin. We will need to change our 2015-16 budget accordingly, removing the 25% salary costs charged to the grant for Fowler's position. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We provided a TON of training and professional development. See details regarding objectivs two, three, and four above. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Have posted project data in bulletin boards in the College's Ned Hatahli Center. Shared activity summary reports in Facebook (Diné College STEM page). Provided reports to CDTE Advisory Group. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We plan to do much the same.

Summary of overall accomplishments Lots of successful outreach to K-12, higher education, and communities. Sparked lots of interest in STEM learning. Networked local, regional and national resources. Met most of the project objectives. Initiated the infusion of challenging STEM concepts in teacher education coursework. Objective One: Support STEM methods courses... Selected course assessments: EDU 261 Nine students in fall 2014. Introduced robotics. Candidates constructed mobile with computer brick. Introduced brick and script coding. Demonstrated how robotics help teachers and student achieve Common Core standards. Made available additional, related teaching resources. Seven students in spring 2015. Same as above. ECE training. Introduced ECE Stem Kit, "Introduction to Engineering and Mechanisms." For infants and toddlers. Faculty will implement in selected 2015-16 courses. NES sub-test scores: In Spring 2015, (only) four AA candidates took NES subject knowledge tests. Number of test takers will increase with new test taking requirement.
