WEBINARS

According to a recent report published by the 114th Partnership,

• Some 20 million students will graduate by 2020.
• Most will never have tackled a real-world problem.
• Although 77 percent of high school students report wanting to simulate real-world scenarios, only 12 percent report having the opportunity to do so.
• The total number of publicly offered internships is declining steadily, down 10 percent from 2014.

All students need options for learning about viable careers and critical skills, and STEM educators need high-quality resources in order to help students navigate their professional pathway, as schools (secondary and postsecondary) are increasingly tasked to help students explore potential careers and to integrate more job-related experiences into their courses.

In this informative webinar, ASCD's STEM by Choice master teachers Douglas Hodum and Tammie Schrader will share how educators can use the ASCD STEM by Choice Universal Guide in their grades 6–12 STEM classrooms and schools. The ASCD STEM by Choice Universal Guide aims to support STEM integration in classrooms using Spark 101 STEM Skills Videos. Spark 101, a program of the 114th Partnership, engages students in authentic problem solving and features real, "on-the-job" professional challenges in a format that allows students to apply their own creativity and skills.

Before you watch the webinar, we encourage you to learn more about the STEM by Choice program and download the ASCD STEM by Choice Universal Guide to follow along and participate in this hands-on experience.
