This document discusses how STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) changes the type of schools needed. It notes that STEM jobs currently make up 5.5% of the US workforce but will grow. However, there is debate around whether there is truly a shortage of STEM workers or if current classifications are too narrow. The document advocates for a broader view of STEM that includes fields like health, technology, and the arts. It provides examples of schools and programs that take an integrated STEM approach combining fields.

19. Robotic Red Blood Cells To Vastly
Expand Human Capabilities
By: David Russell Schilling | July 20th, 2013
Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago
is currently testing robotic red
blood cells or respirocytes in rats.
According to a CNN report respirocytes
or mechanical red blood cells will
augment or replace human red blood
cells carrying oxygen to the body and
enhancing mental and physical
performance. Respirocytes will be
built using âmolecular assemblersâ, a
kind of molecular printing process,
in nano-factories.

95. What is STEM in the context of P-20 Education Practice?
STEM is transformation by design. STEM is transformation of social, human, and
environmental systems by human design and the unintended consequences of our actions.
STEM is a technological force changing society and social institutions. STEM is changing
the structure, flow, and composition of social institutions and personal identity: family, education,
work, economy, law, government, etc. From an identity perspective technology and more broadly
STEM effects our worldview, our concepts of: self-efficacy, subjectivity, objectivity, privacy, time,
space (place), geography, cosmology, individuality, identity, values, beliefs and culture.
STEM is a process of collaboration connecting institutional silos (education, government,
industry, and civil society) to satisfy community and global needs. STEM is confronting the
local challenges in your community and school through the process of inquiry, design, and
innovation. STEM is turning a community inward on itself to form learning communities and
laboratories designed to effect local and global opportunities and challenges through collaboration
and cooperation.
STEM is a moral imperative to prepare all students for their future, rather than our past.
STEM educational practices, ideally, today open access and opportunity in education through a
balanced approach to learning that retains the important fundamentals of classical education
while integrating contemporary knowledge, processes, and tools.

117. In P-20 education, Rigorous Programs of Study

Technical Education (CTE) framework pioneered
over the past 27 years by the now defunct, Tech

education);
A general trend toward unification of
knowledge- and skill- based instructional
practice and learning. In academia, theory and

computational thinking into the academic domain

a. ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP - Adaptive leadership is specifically about change that

simultaneously.
b. INNOVATION LABORATORIES â Positioning challenges and opportunities from
the community (local and/or global) in the center of learning and education goals
through student- and teacher-driven innovation projects.
c. CULTURE OF INNOVATION - Context and frame for learning is real world and
purpose driven incorporating failure as feedback to the learning process. A culture
of innovation is conducive to learning, improving, and adapting while fostering risk
taking. In this view, learning cannot be achieved without feedback as an integral
part of the learning loop.

Delivering integrated programs of study across disciplines (coherent course
sequences);
Integrating fine arts, performing arts, cultural arts, commercial arts, and
creativity as foundational to school culture and outcomes (not an add on);
Applying knowledge and skill-based learning through apprenticeship, expert

Integrating disciplinary knowledge across subjects through innovation themes,
projects, and competitions; and,
Integrating professional development within and across faculty professional
