STEM Speed Dating
Which Decade?
Did you know?
The Future is in Your Hands
“Young children show an initial enthusiasm … which tapers off by the time they reach secondary education”
(Report by Chemical Industry Education Centre, University of York)
PSA 2: SKILLS FOR PROSPERITY
Targets: 1. Increase by 5% the numbers studying
STEM subjects in Post 16 cohort by 2011
2. Increase by 25% the numbers of students, especially those from disadvantaged communities, at graduate and postgraduate level studying STEM subjects by 2015.
PSA 2: SKILLS FOR PROSPERITY
Actions: Take steps to increase uptake of STEM
subjects Highlight STEM Career Opportunities and Pathways
Increase links with local industry to promote STEM Ensure learning & teaching is planned and delivered in a
relevant and enjoyable way Linking subject content and skills to real life
(Key Element: Employability)
“Over the next ten years the local economy will require an increasing number of people with skills in STEM subjects……..
In the workforce of the future, qualifications in these areas will be much sought after….
…encourage our young people to consider the career opportunities that will follow on from study in science related subjects”
Sir Reg Empey, DEL
Minister underlines value of STEM
Develop a clear STEM careers path
Business, in conjunction with the Sector Skills Councils, professional bodies, DEL and DE need to develop and promote clear career paths for STEM students. (Recommendation 2)
There needs to be more resources allocated by business and government to Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) for STEM. (Recommendation 15)
The Report of the STEM Review (Sept 2009)
STEM CEIAG Pilot
All KS3 learners and their parents are aware of STEM and potential STEM career pathways
A team in each ALC provides STEM CEIAGThere are improved linkages and involvement
with the world of workIncreasing numbers of learners are opting for
STEM career pathways
In terms of STEM CEIAG Pilot by the end of March 2011 DE hopes the following outcomes will have been achieved:
ETI Survey – Need to improve systematically..
The knowledge and understanding of all pupils of STEM-related job and career opportunities (especially in their neighbourhood) and how subject choice can restrict and open-up pathways; (every pupil a STEM-informed pupil)
Access to and choice of appropriate STEM courses at KS4 and, where appropriate, post-16, within the school, in the Area Learning Community and, if appropriate, online; (more, and more varied, STEM pathways)
The knowledge and understanding of all teachers of all subjects of the relevance of their subject, how they teach and how pupils learn about STEM opportunities and pathways; (every teacher has an input into a CEIAG programme)
The embedding of STEM-promoting actions into the school development plan and the ALC plan, ensuring that they are effectively coordinated across the school and the outcomes are evaluated to inform better practice. (a STEM-enabled school).

Teacher Awareness
Teachers are aware of:careers and career pathways relevant to
their subjecthow their subject is used in the ‘World of
Work’ and help students make the linksrelevant STEM/CEIAG websites and make
use of themhow they can update their STEM/CEIAG
knowledge
Communication
Strategy in place to ensure subject teachers and those providing CEIAG raise awareness of STEM careers to parents and pupils STEM teachers raise awareness through
displays, visiting speakers, workplace visits etc CEIAG professionals broaden pupils/parents
knowledge of STEM opportunities through lessons, group sessions, presentations, options events, STEM CEIAG events etc
Equality and Diversity
Strategies in place to tackle limited and stereotypical views of STEM courses and careers (students and parents)
Use of role models/ambassadors/past pupils to promote equality in STEM subjects and careers
Differentiated activities to engage under-represented groups in STEM courses and activities
Leadership and Management
STEM and CEIAG STEM are co-ordinated across the school
STEM and CEIAG STEM clearly detailed in School Development Plan and ALC Action Plan
Participation in relevant CPD and disseminated to relevant staff STEM and CEIAG STEM

Science within Work
On the disc you will find:Ten short (~ 4 minute) videos featuring interviews with a wide
range of people from a variety of employment areas (‘themes’).
A practical activity linked to each video. These are for 11-14 year olds and mapped against the Key Stage 3 Science Programme of Study and the Scottish equivalent. They bring workplace science into the classroom and contextualise pupils’ learning.
A list of career contexts to provide you with examples to use throughout your teaching with all age groups.
