Oregon Educators Are Leading the Way in Math Innovation - See How >>
The Oregon Department of Education funded six innovative projects to create 2+1 course blueprints aligned with Oregon’s new math standards. Each was led by a STEM Hub and charged with developing a blueprint—some completed and shared, others still being refined through pilot and feedback cycles.
Quick facts:
Facilitated by 6 of 13 Oregon’s STEM Hubs
Courses designed/piloted during SY 2022–23
Blueprints are now publicly available as Open Educational Resources (OER)

Project: Core 2 Data Science and +1 Data Science Options, led by Central Oregon STEM
Project: Core 2 Data Science and +1 Data Science Options, led by Central Oregon STEM
Project Description:
+1 Data Science Course - Jo Boaler andBootstrap:Data Science, Course Kata
A group of teachers attended a virtual Bootstrap Data Science workshop. A few teachers attended Jo Boaler's YouCubed Data Science workshop and piloted the course in Geometry and as well as a stand-alone course. Teachers developed a +1 Data Reasoning bluepriny using concepts out of both curricula and also Course Kata.

Project: Core 2 Math Applications, led by Southern Oregon STEM
Project: Core 2 Math Applications, led by Southern Oregon STEM
Project Description: A fantastic cadre of math teachers and professors led teachers through current and relevant applications for Algebra and Geometry, aligning to CTE programs and various industry sectors. At the end of this series, resources and curriculum were submitted to ODE for Oregon Open Learning.
Focus was on Algebra and Geometry with applications related to the following but not limited to: Tourism, Agriculture, Natural Resources, Culinary, Hospitality, IT, Computer Science, Business Management, Marketing, Government, Healthcare, Advanced Manufacturing, Construction, Transportation Tech, Automotive, Diesel and Engineering.
