Cycle II CSU Campus Goals and Objectives
2.1. CSU Bakersfield
The development of the STEM (FabLab) undergraduate course will support the integration of
CCSS-Mathematics/NGSS focusing on skills and cross-curricular applications including the
following: communicating effectively, thinking critically, and using diverse tools and resources.
Objective: Teacher Education faculty and the Fab Lab Coordinator will develop a one-unit, ten
week Mini-Fab Lab Academy course to be piloted in the first 18 months of the project and will
serve 60 students from MSTI/NOYCE, Mini-Corp & the Teacher Quality Program (TQP). The
Fab Lab will allow future teachers to gain experience in the engineering design process. The
School of Natural Science, Mathematics, and Engineering recently received a Fab Lab, made
possible by a grant from Chevron (the only lab in the entire CSU and UC system), offering
hands-on, project-based learning opportunities with a particular emphasis on STEM education
for students in grades K-12.
CSUB will partner with three rural districts to revise and expand Camp BLAST!.BLAST! will
serve as a hands-on STEM field experience for future teachers and expose students in grades 3-8
to the engineering design process and computing though project based lessons, exploring a
variety of scientific topics. Objective: 60 undergraduate students and 60 pre-service teachers
will be paired to co-teach in the STEM field experience Camp BLAST!. Pairs will have the
opportunity to develop and co-teach over 50 hours of hands-on STEM lessons. Prior to Camp
BLAST! all pairs will complete 40 hours of professional development. Camp BLAST! is a
STEM based three-week summer program supported by an interdisciplinary group of faculty,
which will serve 500-600 3rd-8th grade students from three rural districts. Funding from TQP will
provide additional support for development of computing and engineering modules by TQP
Residents and CSUB faculty. TQP residents will be paired with undergraduate students from the
MSTI, Mini-Corps and NOYCE Scholars program. Another unique feature of this project will
include access to the new Fab Lab on CSUB’s campus. Co-teaching pairs will be trained to
create lessons that incorporate modeling, EDP, and digital fabrication. Students from Camp
BLAST! will have an opportunity to visit CSUB’s campus to design and create a product in the
FabLab.
2.2. CSU Chico
The Triad Project will focus upon the use of university and school district partnerships to
simultaneously engage the professional development (PD) of science education professors,
teacher candidates and cooperating teachers around NGSS. The Triad PD teams will consist of
one university specialist, one teacher candidate, and one cooperating teacher. The Triad will
work collaboratively over a semester to design, implement, reflect upon, revise and submit a
field-tested integrated instructional NGSS unit. The units will be designed using a template
created at CSU Chico.
Each NGSS unit will include the following: 1) All three dimensions of one or more NGSS
standard, 2) Connections to CCSS ELA/Literacy, CCSS Math, and/or ELD standards 3) An
innovative overall approach appropriate for the chosen standard (e.g., model-based instruction,
Page 7 of 9
S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation
Preparing a New Generation of Educators for California Initiative – Goals and Objectives
argumentation, 5-E model, place-based education), 4) A variety of instructional strategies to
meet the needs of all learners, including students with special needs and emergent bilinguals, and
5) Both formative and summative assessments as integral aspects of instruction. Summative
assessments will be “blended” in order to assess student performance in all three dimensions of
the NGSS.
2.3. CSU East Bay
Goal 1: Link the pedagogy and content of the courses across the pipeline. This will be evaluated
by the Principal Investigators and Project Evaluator during the planning and implementation.
Goal 2: Revise syllabi for four credential program methods courses and at least one
undergraduate math course as well as one high school and one middle school math class.
Consistency and adherence to CCSS Math standards will be evaluated by the Project Evaluator.
Evaluation of the revised courses will also serve as evaluation for Goal 1. Goal 3: Co-teach four
courses at both the university and high school levels. This will enrich the learning process for all
students, model for them a variety of methods to master the varieties of expertise of the
mathematical practice standards, and demonstrate to the credential candidates, undergraduates in
the credential track, and math teachers in professional development a variety of pedagogical
methods. The co-teachers will also embed within each of the courses the skills of Academic
Discourse, and model through their co-teaching of these courses Academic Discourse, which is
key to mastering Mathematical Practice Standard 3 of the CCSS. Goal 4: Create and deliver two
professional development workshops for math educators in the Castro Valley Unified School
District. The district has identified this program as an important component in their improvement
of delivering high quality CCSS math education. One workshop will be delivered in the fall of
2015 and the second in spring 2016. The second workshop will include math credential
candidates. Goal 5: Deliver a replicable template for co-teaching/use of Academic Discourse for
use in other STEM fields. Identify faculty from appropriate departments who will participate in
phase 2 of the project.
2.4. CSU Sacramento
This proposed project addresses a critical need: to accelerate curriculum alignment and content
and pedagogical preparation for NGSS and the ELD standards, while also connecting to the
CCSS. Goal 1: Align the target undergraduate courses to NGSS, CCSS and ELD standards.
Goal 2: Create well-articulated and well-integrated learning experiences for our future teachers
in science and science pedagogy. Goal 3: Produce exemplary, standards aligned K-8 curriculum
for use as model lessons in the target courses.
The faculty learning community (FLC), consisting of science and math methods education
faculty and science faculty who teach undergraduate science courses to Liberal Studies majors, a
Sacramento State engineering faculty consultant and K-8 teacher leader consultants, will engage
in academic year meetings and a 2015 Summer Workshop to: 1) Align target courses (required
Liberal Studies science courses) to NGSS, CCSS and ELD standards, thus ensuring that the
lecture, discussion, activities, and (revised) lab sections are congruent with all the new K-8
standards; 2) Map science and science education learning outcomes from target courses through
the completion of the multiple subject teacher preparation program to ensure a coherent vision
