JMT Architecture was proud to be part of the groundbreaking for the 64,800 GSF Stem Center / School of Nursing at East Central University (ESU) in Ada, Oklahoma. JMT Architecture, as Associate Architect to The McKinney Partnership Architects of Norman, Oklahoma, is programming, planning, and designing this new facility to expand both STEM and Health Science opportunities in southeast Oklahoma. The new building provides much-needed flexible dry lab spaces for interdisciplinary science and math education supported by a variety of active-learning classrooms. These additional environments expand and support existing STEM programs in two adjacent science buildings creating a new science quadrant for ECU. The new building provides The School of Nursing with an impressive array of high-fidelity simulation labs outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and media capture. This suite of labs coupled with a suite of medium-fidelity skills labs well positions the school for continued growth through enhanced recruitment of students and faculty. The new building anchors the northern edge of campus and sets a vision for the future of East Central University. #healthscience #nursingschool #stemcenter

Ardent life-long learner | 30+yr true crime addict | Driven to promote positive student outcomes by supporting fellow K12 educators.
“How long before this cool new building starts to look like the rest*?” (*neglected, not at its best) Our K12 architecture and construction partners report hearing this frequently. Schools cleaned at lower standards than you prefer? …certainly lower than your educators and students deserve? Preventative maintenance* largely a foreign concept? (*ideally it extends well beyond periodically swapping out HVAC filters) Deferred maintenance gotten out of hand, and ultimately gotten the better of what you feel is within your scope to address? Curb appeal* leaving a lot to be desired? (*finding most folks slow only to count weeds and overgrown shrubbery….or speed past thinking it’s abandoned?) Worth a chat to see if our experience and expertise can help elevate outcomes while maintaining the pristine sheen and efficiency of that new building? ✨ #education #schools #educationalleadership

Urban Education Summit at Nazareth College, March 25 Published March 20, 2015 Nazareth College is teaming up with ROC the Future for the Leadership in Urban Education Summit on Wednesday, March 25, 2015. The invite-only event IS OPEN TO MEDIA and will take place in the Forum of Nazareth’s Otto A. Shults Center from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Nazareth College is located at 4245 East Avenue, Rochester, N.Y. https://lnkd.in/ep-C5g6n During this time 9 years ago we had not produced any high school or Pathways in Technology Early College High School CTE/STEM college graduates. March 2024 and there are Pathways in Technology Early College High School High School and CTE/STEM College Graduates in Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Texas. October 2023 MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Evaluation New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic.

REPORT: Putting STEM Education Front and Center with Teaching-Only Lab Buildings -- Teaching-only lab buildings are so much more than simplified versions of the latest shiny new research building on campus. They serve as a hub for students, a point of pride on tours for prospective students, and an opportunity to showcase a college or university’s identity. But they do require special design considerations, especially around safety. https://lnkd.in/e5CKC5Kv #EnergyUseReduction #SpaceUse #HigherEducation #EducationBiology #EducationChemistry #Laboratory #LaboratoryChemistry #LaboratoryTeaching

This was an amazing team effort between Matthew Thompson, Rhythima Shinde & steve pagden on the teaching side and help from Jessica O'Dell. It was really fun initially meeting with different companies and stakeholders to dig deep into their social issues and problems, and to build some real projects around them. For me, that was probably the key for this module and it's the whole ethos of our 2nd year Living Lab - to find societal problems and see how design, engineering and technology can play a role. Students were able to see the real impact of their work, and to see them demonstrate solutions to industry, and for industry to be, legit like: 'OK we'd like to explore a pilot' or 'Great work, we'll give you money 💰 to take this forward over the summer', was a pretty amazing outcome, and a highlight for my teaching. I guess it was for students, but maybe they think it's normal 😨. In PbL, we think you don't necessarily need to wait until 3rd/4th year group or individual projects before you aim for 'real' output and impact. Introducing the problem statement at the right level of abstraction is important for students to jump in deep enough to generate a good prototoype in 8 / 9 weeks though.
Our Living Labs module has once again brought out the best in our students. This year, our second-years were tasked with creating solutions that address specific societal needs, such as enhancing urban planning accessibility and improving air quality awareness. We are excited to share some of the outstanding projects that were supported by a custom-designed website, showcasing their journey from concept to prototype. 🌍✨ ➡ AIR: Real time air quality monitors developed with Sheffield Community Contact Tracers; our students are now funded by Heeley Trust to continue working on the project. ➡ TEDI Sensory Room: A relaxation space for student well-being, created in collaboration with British Land. ➡ Bridging the Gap: Tactile 3D urban planning models for the visually impaired, in partnership with MP Smarter Travel. ➡ Sensory Polytunnel: A tech-enabled STEM learning environment, co-designed with Dockland Settlements and Bizzie Bodies CIC.

Leaving the mountains in the skyline of Denver to the bustling streets of Washington DC, I’m gearing up for an electrifying experience at the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (@ascd) National Conference. Amidst the myriad of captivating sessions, one stands out: "Can STEM Save the World." But wait, I won't spill all the beans here! Join me in this riveting exploration where we'll uncover the secrets to immense and immediate progress through the lens of If/Then Logic. Picture this: IF national standards are firmly established (citing the National Research Council [NRC], 2012; NGSS Lead States, 2013), and IF the NAEP Science Assessment Framework for 2028 acknowledges a heightened emphasis on assessing Technology and Engineering Literacy. Combine that with the undeniable global significance of STEM learning and the local autonomy teachers have in addressing modern standards... THEN, we have the blueprint to revolutionize education. We can prioritize teaching standards around the core pillars of students, citizens, and global issues. Imagine the possibilities! If we implement these strategies, we're not just talking about incremental change. We're talking about what Michael Fullan (2010) aptly describes as "stunningly powerful consequences" for our students. So, pack your curiosity and join me on this exhilarating journey towards a future where STEM education doesn't just shape minds; it shapes the world.

This study examines the outcomes of an intensive STEM-focused professional learning initiative for middle school science teachers in the U.S., aiming to enhance STEM instruction and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Findings: No statistically significant changes were observed in teachers’ beliefs, use of STEM instruction, or PCK from the beginning to the end of Year 1. Teacher Perceptions: Teachers noted increased student engagement and development of 21st-century skills but faced challenges in implementing STEM instruction. Implications: The study suggests the need for systemic support and targeted interventions to address teacher beliefs about students and align instructional visions with school administrators.
