A Vision for Quality STEM in OST:
Advancing STEM Learning through:
Quality in Expanded Learning
Setting the StageSetting the Stage
Emphasis on STEM education in California Students show less than desirable proficiency in Science and Math
as currently measured (NAEP, TIMSS, PISA)
STEM jobs on the rise in time of high unemployment. STEM jobs are the jobs of the future.
Call to action: 1 Million more students prepared to enter STEM field
Interest and engagement key to student motivation in STEM
Important and Timely Common Core State Standards
Next Generation Science Standards
After School Division focus on increasing quality

JumpStarting STEM Student Outcomes
Overall student outcomes were relatively flat for scienceand math efficacy, as well as student interest in science or science careers.
Regression analysis illustrated that those students who reported more positive experiences in the after school programs (a reflection of program quality)Demonstrated gains in the desired student outcomes
Desired student outcomes were associated with quality relationships with staff and their peers in the program
Key Take Away
STEM outcomes are linked to overall program quality, and the quality of relationships in the program.
Achieving desired STEM outcomes cannot be separated from youth development principles of positive relationship building and general elements of program quality, specifically engaging and active learning experiences.
After School Division Vision Statement
California’s Expanded Learning Programs are an integral part of young people’s
education, engaging them in year-round learning opportunities that prepare them for
college, career, and life.*
