IMSP I-STEM NETWORK MSP DEFINITIONS Summer Workshops By definition, summer workshop requirements include professional development activities that are conducted for a period of not less than two weeks and consist of a minimum of 80 hours; and include, as a component, a program that provides direct interaction between classroom teachers and university faculty. Institute Dates Also by definition, institute dates are intended to be follow -up trainings during the academic year for a period of not less than four (4) consecutive or nonconsecutive days and a minimum of four (4) hours in duration. If the follow -up training is for teachers in rural school districts, the follow -up training may be conducted through distance learning. *One (1) or more of the institute days can be used to participate in the annual IMSP I-STEM Network Conference. IMSP I-STEM NETWORK Vision The I-STEM Network will be designed to provide regional support to teachers in order to improve student achievement in the STEM disciplines . IMSP I-STEM NETWORK Goals Imp rov e student performan ce in math and science through professio nal develop men t and resource develop men t for K -12 teachers; Develop classroo m culture with learnin g opportunities for students and teachers by including high -quality, research -b ased instruction al materials such as ISBE's Model Curriculum for Math and Science as well as others and providing support for the New ILS and Framework for K -12 Science Education ; Pro mo te strong teaching skills by increasing instructo rs’ understan d ing and application of scientif ically based education al research appropriate to math and science teaching and learnin g ; and Build the capacity of math and science teacher -lead ers within a regional statewid e context; and assist teachers in understand ing the vision and instru ction al shifts outlined in the New ILS and the Framework for K -12 Science Education. IMSP I-STEM NETWORK Purpose Identify up to twenty-two (22) Area Partnerships for the IMSP I -STEM Network equally distributed between a mathematics focus (MAP) and a science focus (SAP). Eleven (11) APs will be awarded for mathematics (MAP) and eleven (11) APs will be awarded for science (SAP) across Illinois. The AP will consist of at least 1 (one) MAP and one (1) SAP per Area. At least one (1) MAP and one (1) SAP will serve CPS exclusively. However, additional APs may be awarded in any Area (including CPS) based on the quality of the proposals . AREA MODEL The I-STEM Network will utilize the Areas designated by ISBE and the ROEs/ISCs. All entities represented in the partnership must be located within the same Area. A partnership both as a whole, as well as its individual entities (IHE, ROEs/ISC, LEA, and BIN or forprofit organization), may only be awarded one (1) Science Area Partnership (SAP) and one (1) Mathematics Area Partnership (MAP) (except partnerships proposing to serve Chicago Public Schools exclusively).

IMSP I-STEM NETWORK DELIVERABLE 5 Evaluation Requirements The expectation for evaluatio n in the I -STEM Network Area Partnersh ips is comp lian ce with the evaluation requiremen ts determin ed by the Lead Partnersh ip and successfu l submission of the Annual Performan ce Report (APR). The I-STEM Network Lead Partnersh ip will design a plan for the evaluation of the statewid e I-STEM Network Program. Area Partnersh ips must include the recru itmen t plan and selection criteria for a .50 full-time equivalen t (FTE) Data Coordinato r who will work closely with the Lead Partnersh ip to ensure each AP is comp lian t with all evaluation compon en ts. It is not necessary that the Data Coordinato r have an extensiv e background in evaluation. IMSP I-STEM NETWORK DELIVERABLE 6 IMSP Website and Conference The IMSP I-STEM Steering Committee will work with ISBE to coordinate an annual statewid e conference for math and science. The purpose of this conferen ce is to share relevan t topics, resources and updates from the AP and the statewid e I STEM Network, as well as allow teacher particip an ts an opportunity to engage with national, state, and local resources designed to assist with imp lemen tatio n of the New ILS. The date and location for the conferen ce will be establish ed by ISBE and the I-STEM Network Steering Committee . An I-STEM Network website with social med ia compon en ts will be establish ed and main tain ed by the I -STEM Network Lead Partnersh ip with input fro m the I -STEM Network Steering Committee. The website will allow for sharing of informatio n about partnersh ip activities in order to provide open access to informatio n and resources provided by the I -STEM Network and all of the AP. AREA TEACHER LEADERS (ATL) • The Lead Partnership will recruit and establish a cohort of geographically equitable K-12 Area Teacher Leaders (ATL). • The ATL will be a group of experienced math and science educators from across the state that will be trained to co-facilitate professional development and supportive services in the SAPs and MAPs in their area. • ATL will undergo specialized training during the 2014-2015 academic year which will consist of professional development in science and math content, Model Math Curriculum, and Model Science Curriculum, as well as facilitation skills. • Beginning in summer 2015, the ATL will co-facilitate the SAPs and MAPs attended by the first groups of K-12 teachers participating in the I-STEM Network.
