careers in science, math, and engineering
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this counselor professional development was to inform counselors about STEM careers and how they can help prepare students for such occupations. An overview of major issues involved with gender stereotypes, bias, and disparities in STEM was introduced along with tools and resources to address such concerns in the K-12 environment. Interactive activities saught to develop the counselors’ confidence in advocating and counseling students for careers in STEM. This presentation was designed for the Plano ISD P-12 counselors. The majority of these counselors attended a workshop in 2008 about “What is Engineering?” Some of this workshop was a review, but careers in science and math were also introduced. This specific workshop was presented on Nov 30, 2010 by Meagan Ross ([email protected]).TRANSCRIPT

Approximately 50% of middle school students indicate that they do not plan to
take mathematics and science courses beyond what their schools require.
However, the same students indicate that they would be interested in going to college, and taking college-level mathematics courses.
