Mathematics Interventions For Secondary Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review Of Research Quality, Jingyuan Zhang, Mandy Rispoli, Yan Ping Xin, Mehmet Donat Sulu
Mathematics Interventions For Secondary Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review Of Research Quality, Jingyuan Zhang, Mandy Rispoli, Yan Ping Xin, Mehmet Donat Sulu
Indiana STEM Education Conference
Including students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in K-12 general education is a common practice today. However, there are relatively few mathematics interventions for students with ASD in secondary education. There is also a lack of literature exploring mathematics interventions that reflect grade-level academic requirements and are adapted for students with ASD. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the characteristics of high-quality studies which implemented mathematics interventions for students with ASD in secondary education. Suggestions have also been given for improving the quality of future studies in this field. Twenty-one studies are coded and evaluated according to Council …
Algebra Readiness And Algebraic Structure As Foundational Ideas For Algebraic Learning, David Feikes, William S. Walker Iii, Natalie Mcgathey, Bir Kafle
Algebra Readiness And Algebraic Structure As Foundational Ideas For Algebraic Learning, David Feikes, William S. Walker Iii, Natalie Mcgathey, Bir Kafle
Indiana STEM Education Conference
This theoretical research brief uses Kaput’s (2008) definition of algebra to describe algebra readiness and algebraic structure as they relate to thinking about algebra and thinking with algebra. Algebra readiness and algebraic structure have been core ideas in our curriculum development work to help students develop conceptual understandings of algebra.

We designed and offered a Professional Development (PD) course for K-12 in-service teachers and educators across Indiana to address critical theory on race, immigration, English Language Learners (ELLs), and gender. In this study, we investigate teachers’ perceptions on gender stereotypes in STEM from the PD course. We report findings from the analysis of participants’ responses from pre-course surveys and posed discussions during the course.
The Role Of Social And Emotional Learning In The Math Recovery Project, David Feikes, William S. Walker Iii, Madelaine Miller, Lisa Alessandri
The Role Of Social And Emotional Learning In The Math Recovery Project, David Feikes, William S. Walker Iii, Madelaine Miller, Lisa Alessandri
Indiana STEM Education Conference
The connections between the Math Recovery Project and social and emotional learning (SEL) are explored. Specific relationships between the project pedagogical approach used and SEL are described. A key emphasis is that all solution methods should be valued to address math recovery and SEL.
Bridging The Gap: Connecting High School Students To Advanced Stem Education Through Online Learning Modules, Kathleen Jurecka, Stacey D. Lyle Rpls
Bridging The Gap: Connecting High School Students To Advanced Stem Education Through Online Learning Modules, Kathleen Jurecka, Stacey D. Lyle Rpls

Texas A&M researchers worked in partnership with the VA to extend the memorialization of Texas A&M Aggie veterans enshrined in the Houston National Cemetery though the Aggie Legacy Project. This was accomplished using advanced technologies to create a 3D module of the cemetery, an artificial intelligence to read and record headstone content, interactive maps, and biographical tributes to Texas A&M veterans. The team also created educational content designed to introduce K 12 students to these technologies with the intent to help students explore STEM career paths early , allowing time to make informed decisions regarding future career opportunities.

Indiana STEM Education Conference
Exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers is essential for urban education in order to diminish deficit-based assumptions about who can succeed in STEM. Prepare2Nspire (P2N) acts as an extracurricular tutoring outlet for in-school mathematics learning as well as an opportunity for youth to become exposed to STEM careers through various methods. First, undergraduate mentutors of color represent a number of STEM academic majors. Second, P2N invites STEM professionals of color to discuss how they use various mathematics skills within their career. The purpose of introducing students of color to underrepresented college students and STEM professionals is to …
Reinventing High School: Competency-Based Model For Learning In The 21st Century, Tahir M. Khan, Denise K. Whitford, Lisa Lambert Snodgrass, Sunnie L. Watson, Lisa B. Bosman

Research shows that Black and Hispanic workers continue to be under-represented in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workforce. Purdue Polytechnic High School (PPHS) was established to achieve broader academic and workforce goals. PPHS fosters a sense of community for students by fostering diversity in teachers, focusing on project-based learning, and providing students with a constructive and collaborative space to explore their passions. To support career readiness, the school personalizes student learning and focuses on enhancing student problem-solving skills through a structured group engagement program called "passion projects". The school meets the academic requirements of the state while providing …
Predicting Indiana Public Middle School Science Achievement By School Demographics, Zafer Ozen, Nielsen Pereira
Predicting Indiana Public Middle School Science Achievement By School Demographics, Zafer Ozen, Nielsen Pereira
Indiana STEM Education Conference
Understanding school and student demographics is valuable to predict outcomes, especially student academic achievement. In this study, we investigated how school attendance, non-minority student rate, and school socioeconomic status (SES) predict a school’s science average achievement.
K-12 Teachers' Perceptions Of Stem, Brittany Vancil, Emily Nicholson
K-12 Teachers' Perceptions Of Stem, Brittany Vancil, Emily Nicholson
Indiana STEM Education Conference
Integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) has been a recent trend in education. We set out to understand how K-12 teachers define STEM, their comfort level with teaching STEM, perspectives on the pros and cons of STEM, and the teaching tools and platforms they use. Our research concludes with the implications for teachers, administrators, curriculum developers, and researchers, as well as helpful resources.
Engaging Elementary School Students And Their Parents In After-School Stem Activities, Yury A. Kuleshov, Anne M. Lucietto
Engaging Elementary School Students And Their Parents In After-School Stem Activities, Yury A. Kuleshov, Anne M. Lucietto
Indiana STEM Education Conference
The authors are implementing a program to engage elementary school students and parents in after-school STEM activities to promote technical disciplines and STEM career paths. Children from Hispanic communities are often left behind when promoting STEM among the youth. The program will be available in two languages, English and Spanish, to address the gap. The authors will conduct post-program surveys with the parents of the participating children to access participants’ perception of STEM. The results will guide future STEM activities among elementary school students in the local community and be useful for other STEM teachers, who target Hispanic and other …
