If we build an NGSS-aligned science curriculum, how many of the STEELS Technology & Engineering standards would be addressed? Which T&E standards are not represented in an NGSS-aligned curriculum?
PDE is providing exciting (2) opportunities to support the implementation of the STEELS Technology & Engineering Standards:
Free Access to K-12 Engineering byDesign (EbD) curriculum
Includes a learning management system, real-time online access to all course updates, additional interactive media, and online pre and post-assessments. EbD is aligned to the ITEEA Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL). The K-12 PA Technology & Engineering Standards are nearly identical to the STEL. (Click here to request access to EbD courses)
4-day in-person workshops (elementary, middle, and high school-specific EbD courses) for 25 educators per level in the summer of 2025. Participants will receive an $816/person stipend to cover transportation, lodging, and meals (stipends will be paid by 9/1/2025). (38) Act 48 will be available as well as (3) graduate credits through St. Cloud State University for $500.
When: June 9-12, 2025
Where: Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13), Lancaster, PA
