1 Pine-Richland School District STEAM Advisory Committee
2 District Vision & Mission Statements Vision Our Ideal Future Pine-Richland School District is a community where learning is challenging, people are inspiring, and students are enriched by their experience. Mission Why We Exist Our mission is to provide a strong academic foundation which challenges students to realize their fullest potential and encourages them to become engaged, thoughtful citizens.
3 Strategic Plan Subcommittees 1. Critical Thinking Group 2. Career Awareness 3. Connecting Resources to Curriculum & Teachers 4. Promoting & Marketing STEAM 5. Project-Based Learning 6. Art in STEAM
4 Critical Thinking Skills Subcommittee: Key points from subcommittee discussion: Develop critical thinking skills through real world applications Integrate oral and written instructional strategies including specific feedback to students with clear connections to standards providing teachers with professional learning opportunities Collaborate with colleges and universities
5 Career Awareness Subcommittee: Key points from subcommittee discussion: Ensure student success and a continued interest in STEAM areas of study by providing equal access to curricular resources, interventions, and supports for all students Expand regional partnerships to expand STEAM offerings to enhance student learning Encourage parental participation through engagement in activities that improve student achievement Provide exposure to applicable real world opportunities
6 Connecting Resources to Curriculum & Teachers Subcommittee Key points from subcommittee discussion: Continue reviewing curriculum to maintain rigor and alignment with state and industry standards in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Ensure student success and a continued interest in STEAM areas of study by providing equal access to curricular resources, interventions, and supports for all students. Consistently implement standards-based curriculum to set clear expectations for all students through oral, written, and collaborative opportunities to excel.
7 Promoting & Marketing STEAM Subcommittee Key points from subcommittee discussion: Identifying mechanisms for collecting data relating to occupations/resources within the community in order to create awareness and connections to student learning. Utilize technology/district resources to communicate to community stakeholders to promote/encourage their involvement in the STEAM initiative. Our goal for Pine-Richland students is to be excited about STEAM at an early age so that we build momentum as students move through the school system. Create opportunities for students throughout the district to utilize the new STEAM space at the high school. The possibility of having middle school students tour the STEAM addition and participate in hands-on activities prior to choosing courses as they enter the high school as ninth graders.
8 Project-Based Learning Subcommittee: Key points from subcommittee discussion: A thorough understanding is achieved through an integration of disciplines. Through interdisciplinary units and utilization of professionals within our community and region, we will be able to make clear connections between curriculum and application. Learning is not conducted in isolation but rather students are able to experience related concepts throughout the school day and in the field as they have on-the-job learning opportunities. Making the best use of our district facilities and resources while collaborating with external resources, students will have the optimal learning experience.
9 Art in STEAM Subcommittee: Key points from subcommittee discussion: The importance of maintaining and encouraging creativity as students are engaged in the problemsolving process. The A in STEAM is very important to us and with the proximity of the art classrooms to other STEM classrooms, we hope this sub-committee will make the aesthetic aspect of STEAM a prominent part of our program. This group will work to fuse concepts in the arts and design with the sciences.
10 Academic Achievement Goal #1: Integrate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) initiatives into the K-12 Pine-Richland curriculum to increase collaborative opportunities and rigor, encourage critical thinking, improve student achievement and enhance personal growth through authentic learning opportunities using standardsaligned curriculum.
11 Academic Achievement Goal #2 Enhance collaboration between students, teachers, and parents through engaging standards-aligned curriculum that promotes meaningful communication and supports differentiated learning.
12 Academic Achievement Goal #3 Prepare students to succeed in an increasingly interconnected and globally competitive environment.
13 Action Steps Beneath each goal within the Academic Achievement portion of the strategic plan are action steps for implementation of the three academic goals. Administrators were assigned to work with each subcommittee to act as the liaison between the school and the STEAM Advisory Committee. Administrators choose goals that corresponded to the initial discussions from each subcommittee.
14 Moving Forward Our focus this year will be to encourage community support through parents and Pittsburgh area businesses who would be willing to come into our schools to support instruction, allow student and teacher visits at the job site, and provide opportunities to possibly intern or job shadow.
15 Moving Forward We want to better utilize the skills of the committee members to match Pine-Richland School District curriculum with work being done on a daily basis by committee members at their place of employment. We have started enlisting parents throughout district to support classroom instruction at both the elementary and secondary grade levels. We have a great deal of expertise on our committee and it would be helpful if each committee member would be willing to give a bit of their time and talents to continue on the committee and to agree to participate at some point in a Pine-Richland classroom.

20 V. Project-Based Learning Subcommittee: Key points from subcommittee discussion: A thorough understanding is achieved through an integration of disciplines. Through interdisciplinary units and utilization of professionals within our community and region, we will be able to make clear connections between curriculum and application. Learning is not conducted in isolation but rather students are able to experience related concepts throughout the school day and in the field as they have on-the-job learning opportunities. Making the best use of our district facilities and resources while collaborating with external resources, students will have the optimal learning experience. Project-Based learning Goals and Action Steps: To incorporate one PBL unit per 9-week grading period that includes acrosscurricular/real-world component. To provide comprehensive professional development opportunities to STEAM staff members that would include the incorporation of critical thinking skills, assessments, and PBL lesson design.
