Old Rules, New Game Old Rules Economics use capital Capital is mobile, and it seeks productivity Old Game Productivity used labor Education of the few, labor by the masses Education  process reflect  a community New Game Productivity uses technology & knowledge Education of all, knowledge for the masses Educational  results create  a community
Really Big (and Hard) Questions.. How do we prepare our students for success in a knowledge based, technology driven, globally competitive world? How do we align to our community aspirations for quality of life & strategies for economic opportunity? How do we transform our schools into high performing environments where students are expected to be and are high achievers?
The Primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the life they will lead outside of school.
So where is this all leading…. STEM EDUCATION

American schools need to promote STEM education to compete globally and prepare students for technical jobs of the future. Younger students, especially girls, have little interest and experience in technology fields. Schools should design courses and projects with girls in mind, using interesting titles and contextual, collaborative projects and choices. Effective methods for attracting and retaining girls include early exposure, role models, and building confidence without competition.

Build public support for making improvement in STEM performance a national priority. Motivate U.S. students and adults, using a variety of incentives, to study and enter STEM careers, with a special effort geared to those in currently underrepresented groups. Upgrade K–12 mathematics and science teaching to foster higher student achievement.  Boost and sustain funding for basic research, especially in the physical sciences and engineering. To sustain American competitiveness in science and engineering, we need a focused, long-term, comprehensive initiative by the public and private sectors to:
America’s Pressing Challenge:  Building A Stronger Foundation America’s Pressing Challenge – Building a Stronger Foundation: A Companion to Science and Engineering Indicators (2006) National Science Board (NSF)  http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsb0602/ The NSB identifies priorities: strong public support for the value of STEM education for all students and citizens, a high quality teaching force, appropriate learning opportunities for all students effective guidance counseling on STEM education and careers, and assessment tools that reinforce learning in STEM fields.
So if all the research says what we need to do then why haven’t we done it yet?? The global economy is changing the nature of work and the kinds of jobs young people will enter are changing. Students need higher levels of knowledge and skills than ever before to succeed in workplaces of the 21 st  century.
A Focus on STEM Innovation. Competition. Technology. Information. As these forces change our world, they also change the face of science and mathematics education. Change from just finding the answer to identifying the problem;  emphasis on computation to reasoning and problem solving;  paper and pencil-driven to computer-driven;  doing routine tasks to discovering new paths for ideas,  working alone to working in groups.  Instead of "filtering out" students, science and mathematics expands the future options of all students.

The document discusses how baby boomers are beginning to retire, creating workforce challenges. It notes that demographics in the US will change dramatically as baby boomers exit the workforce and prime-age populations shrink. Additionally, skills requirements are rising even for blue-collar jobs, and many future jobs will require postsecondary education. However, the US is falling behind internationally in areas like the number of students pursuing STEM degrees. This skills gap could undermine the US economy if not addressed.

New research from ACT shows that  the level of readiness needed to enter jobs offering a livable wage is  not  lower than that needed for college.  Therefore, all high school students need to graduate ready for college. The demands of college and work are dramatically different today than a generation ago,  and it is the job of high schools to prepare students for these demands.

Christmas

The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, a virgin engaged to Joseph from the house of David, and told her she would conceive and bear a son named Jesus. Mary was living in Nazareth and was surprised by Gabriel's message. Luke 1:26-27, 30-31 (NRSV). The passage then describes Joseph and Mary traveling to Bethlehem for the census called by Emperor Augustus, but finding no room in the inn so taking refuge in a stable, where Mary gave birth to Jesus and placed him in a manger. Luke 2:1-7 (NRSV). The summary combines details from the two passages in Luke about the annunciation to Mary and Jesus's birth in Bethlehem.

Getting to Giving

This document discusses how Christmas can be disappointing if people focus only on getting gifts, but it can be a blessing if they understand the privilege of giving. It contrasts a "getting" mindset of self-centeredness and materialism with a "giving" mindset found in biblical teachings and examples. Key points include: how the desire and ability to give comes from devotion to God and our example of Christ giving himself for us, and how the act of giving is a privilege according to passages like 2 Corinthians 8-9 and Matthew 25. Ultimately, we are encouraged to give our hearts to God and show love for others through our example, service, time, talents and prayers.

ENGINEERS  make a world of difference by turning ideas into reality. Engineers question and challenge the things we encounter in everyday life. They seek to improve the products we use in all aspects of our lives.  A degree in engineering is preparation for many different careers in almost any field. Why Engineering?
Educators, parents, and business leaders need to promote the benefits and rewards of pursuing a career in science and technology. All too often, these careers are seen as the domain of nerds and geeks, instead of inventors and leaders. Our attitudes even discourage people from these fields by promoting how hard they are instead of how rewarding they can be.  Source: AeA, Advancing The Business Of Technology, 2005

Accountability in online charters

Student Success Academy (SSA) is a public charter school that offers both in-person and online learning programs. SSA struggles with accountability issues regarding parental involvement in students' online learning. Specifically, many parents complete lessons and assessments for their children without proper supervision. This allows progress to be inaccurately reported and leads to discrepancies between students' online performance and in-person assessments. SSA has implemented some accountability measures, like required passwords for parents, but these have proven ineffective as parents often simply provide their passwords to students. The lack of genuine parental involvement and accountability threatens students' learning and the accuracy of progress reports.

RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags are electronic chips that emit radio signals and can be used to track items. Tags can be active (with an internal power source) or passive. RFID systems are used by many retailers and libraries to track inventory and speed up processes like checkouts. Tags are affixed to items and read by scanners. While RFID provides benefits like faster inventory and reduced labor, there are also privacy and security concerns about how data is collected and used.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing Systems

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Combating Stem

  • 1. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics….a nation at risk! Jeffrey Piontek Hawaii Technology Academy
  • 2. Goals today Look at the data and research. What does it mean? How can we use it? What are people doing to solve the problem? Tying it all together.
  • 3. 1990 curriculum Solve problems Remember the textbook Follow directions Work alone "Cover" the curriculum
  • 4. 2010 curriculum Ask: Find problems Investigate: Multiple sources/media Create: Engage actively in learning Discuss: Collaborate; diverse views Reflect: Learn how to learn
  • 5. Old Rules, New Game Old Rules Economics use capital Capital is mobile, and it seeks productivity Old Game Productivity used labor Education of the few, labor by the masses Education process reflect a community New Game Productivity uses technology & knowledge Education of all, knowledge for the masses Educational results create a community
  • 6. Really Big (and Hard) Questions.. How do we prepare our students for success in a knowledge based, technology driven, globally competitive world? How do we align to our community aspirations for quality of life & strategies for economic opportunity? How do we transform our schools into high performing environments where students are expected to be and are high achievers?
  • 7. The Primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the life they will lead outside of school.
  • 8. So where is this all leading…. STEM EDUCATION
  • 9. U.S. students must compete in a new global economy. Hershey is opening their next plant in…… MEXICO!!!
  • 10. The Flattening The fall of the Berlin Wall The rise of the Internet Work flow software Open source Outsourcing Off shoring Supply chaining In sourcing In-forming The steroids - Digital, Mobile, Personal and Virtual.
  • 11. “ The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman Major Science Programs Protein Science Quantum Research Nanotechnology Developmental and Reproductive Biology Science, March 17, 2006;311:1548-1549 China Bets Big on Big Science
  • 12. “ The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman Engineering Programs Next-generation broadband Large-scale oil and gas exploration Transgenic plant breeding Drug development Manned moon exploration Science, March 17, 2006;311:1548-1549 China Bets Big on New Science
  • 13. “ The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman Travel by car in Goa is slow and time consuming. The Internet is the ultimate super-highway India Investment in “Highway” Spurring Economic Growth Personal Communication, John McFadden, VP, CIO Loyola College
  • 14. “In the international competition to have the biggest and best supply of knowledge workers, America is falling behind." Bill Gates Manufacturing has chased cheap labor Science and Technology will chase an educated workforce
  • 15. China - increased 161% (207,500) Japan – increased 42% (103,200) South Korea – increased 140% (56,500) India – over 100,000/yr USA – decreased 20% (59,500) So did anything change nationally or Internationally? Engineering Graduates 1980 - 2000
  • 16. Where are we now? (2007) More than 600,000 engineers graduated from institutions of higher education in China. In India, the figure was 350,000 . In America, it was about 70,000 . In 2001 only 41 percent of U.S. eighth-graders had a math teacher who had majored in mathematics at the undergraduate or graduate level or studied the subject for teacher certification -- international average of 71 percent . For the cost of one chemist or one engineer in the United States, a company can hire about five chemists in China or 11 engineers in India. Last year chemical companies closed 70 facilities in the United States and have tagged 40 more for closure. Of 120 chemical plants being built around the world with price tags of $1 billion or more, one is in the United States and 50 are in China.
