Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This poster will tell the story of creating a STEM research experience for students through a partnership between research institutes, University Faculty and high school teachers. The poster will provide a visual showing how the grant work was structured, barriers to implementation and successes that spur us on to continue to bring STEM experiences to rural, southeast Georgia.

Math 1113 Precalculus Emporium: A Multi-Institutional Online Pre-Calculus Course, Kris Biesinger, Chuck Kutal, Nathan Moon
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
One stumbling block for students considering becoming a STEM major has been introductory math courses. A new, innovative precalculus course being developed and delivered by five USG institutions may provide a solution. MATH 1113e Precalculus Emporium combines lessons learned from the Math Emporium model pioneered at Virginia Tech with elements of MOOC delivery to create a highly interactive and support rich online course model. While the pilot debuted in January 2014 with students and faculty from five institutions, the larger vision is for the course to become available for all USG institutions in the near future.

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The Institute for Interdisciplinary STEM Education at Georgia Southern University seeks to develop partnerships with schools, businesses, and research institutes to improve STEM Education in rural Georgia. This is not without it’s challenges. This session will focus on an overview of the Institute and then engage participants in a round table discussion of best practices to improve partnerships.
Critical Thinking And The Languages Of Stem, Connie H. Rickenbaker, Sally Gilbreth
Critical Thinking And The Languages Of Stem, Connie H. Rickenbaker, Sally Gilbreth
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
Participants in this session will learn about the critical thinking strategy of SEEI (Nosich, 2011) as used by both high school and university students. SEEI (State, Explain, Example, Illustrate) has a strong connection with the languages of STEM (Baber, 2011) which will be shown by the presenters. Participants will have the opportunity to implement and share their own SEEIs as part of the group discussion.

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
Retaining good teachers has and continues to be a major issue for all levels of K-12 Education. However, many things can be done at the school level to keep your good teachers. This interactive session is designed to give you good ideas about retaining your teachers from both an administrative and teacher viewpoint, as well as give you an opportunity to ask specific questions in a guided discussion format so that each of us can learn from each other.

Assessing The Impact Of Tutorial Services, Cindy Henning, Kimberly Shaw, Tim Howard
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This is a preliminary report assessing the impact of tutorial services on student performance. We discuss a statistical approach, and why regression models do not appear suitable for the analysis.

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
STEM II Initiative – Updates from Participating Institutions (Part 2) is made up of a series of “sampler sessions” so that interested individuals can get an overview but not comprehensive coverage. Dr. Pamela Gore will begin this session by discussing the STEM II Initiative at Georgia Perimeter College. Second, Dr. Dabney Dixon will talk about the STEM II Initiative at Georgia State University. Third, Dr. Charles Kutal will provide information concerning the STEM II Initiative at the University of Georgia. Fourth, Dr. Farooq Khan and Dr. Myrna Gantner will discuss what is happening with the STEM II Initiative at the …

Stem Enhancement Programs: The National Context, Nathan Moon, Paul Baker, Braeden Benson
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
We present findings from a review of the scholarly literature and Web survey that were undertaken to develop a catalogue of STEM enhancement programs. Our research revealed that 42 states have developed such programs, 30 of which focus specifically on P-16 STEM education. This session will discuss our findings and report on other programs comparable to the USG STEM Initiative.

STEM II Initiative – Updates from Participating Institutions (Part 1) is made up of a series of “sampler sessions” so that interested individuals can get an overview but not comprehensive coverage. Dr. Nathan Moon will introduce this session by telling a few important lessons gleaned from the STEM I evaluations. Second, Dr. Tim Howard will talk about the STEM II Initiative at Columbus State. Third, Dr. Judy Awong-Taylor will provide information concerning the STEM II Initiative at Georgia Gwinnett College. Fourth, Dr. Rosalie Richards will discuss what is happening with the STEM II Initiative at Georgia College & State University.

At Georgia College & State University, implementation of the USG STEM Initiative is flourishing and multifaceted. Our initiative has not only made a positive impact on student performance and retention but also has helped create an environment that fosters local and institutional recognition of STEM-related work. This positive environment increases faculty satisfaction and productivity, and this overall is good for retention of faculty. Supported by USG Presidential STEM Initiative

Preparing And Fostering Learner-Centered Faculty, Lydia Soleil, Donna Llewellyn
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This session will describe two programs Georgia Tech has in place to help nurture STEM education leaders, one for graduate students and one for faculty. Both programs use the learner-centered teaching paradigm, backwards design as a framework, and peer learning communities. Alumni of the two programs will share their experience and benefits in a panel format. Facilitators invite analysis of program ideas for possible transfer to other contexts.

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) and Atlanta Metropolitan College (AMC) have established the Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA) Program since Fall-2007 academic year. The program was initially jointly funded by the MESA California Consortium and after the first year operation, completely funded by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The MESA model was established to assist in increasing the retention of educationally disadvantaged students (minorities, female, low-income, first generation college students) majoring in STEM areas and helping them transfer to four-year institutions in Georgia and across the nation. This presentation describes the components of the MESA …
