Why Does Innovation Matter?
• Key to unlocking competitive advantage, as much for countries as for companies and individuals
• Major element in a nations economic status • Creates a “rising tide” in a nation

Why It Matters for Individuals
• Innovative individuals tend to:• Have greater levels of job satisfaction • Feel more empowered in their careers• Have higher levels of contribution to
organizations • Have higher levels of engagement with
other team members
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Why it Should Matter to You
• We need YOU!• An innovative career approach can
differentiate you and propel you forward • An innovative mindset creates opportunities • Helps to maintain passion• Empowering
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Diversity and Innovation –a symbiotic relationship in this millennium
• “To cope with global competition and environmental uncertainty, organizations need employees who exceed their standard work behaviors by engaging in innovative behavior.”*
• Demographically speaking…it is an imperativeSource: (Janssen, 2001).
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Where do we go from here?
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Principles & Practices for Diversity, STEM & Innovation
• National Leadership • Organizational • Educational• Individual
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
National Leadership: STEM & Diversity: U.S. Example • Setting Ambitious Goals
– 100,000 excellent STEM teachers – 1 million more STEM college graduates over a
decade • Broadening Participation in STEM Education &
Careers• Coordinating federal investment in STEM education
– Teachers– Students– STEM Innovation Networks
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Organizationally:Diversity & Innovation• Recognize this is an issue• Commit to addressing it • Demonstrate relationships between diversity,
innovation and organizational success• Be SERIOUS and INTENTIONAL
–Promote Interdependence in organizational and individual employee goals
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
STEM Education, Governments and Innovation
• The US Department of Education's has initiated a new $60 million “First in the World grant competition”
• Goal of this program is to drive innovation in higher education. • This includes active learning approaches, which have been
shown to increase learning and improve student persistence in STEM subjects
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
• Countries need ALL citizens engaged in STEM Education • Be aware of challenges women may face• Advocate for the integration of sustainable change• There is a “disconnect” between needed leadership and
innovation characteristics and expectations for women in STEM all over the world.
Bias is real in STEM
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
We ALL must be a part of the
conversation, participate in the
solution, be a part of the process and be present in STEM

Educational Attainment
STEM Success
Focus on Diversity
International Competitiveness
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
U.S. Goal is to Increase College Attainment
• In the US, 65% of job vacancies will require some postsecondary education by 2020– Currently, the U.S. higher education attainment rate is 40%.– Goal is to increase to 60% by 2025.
• US Resident Post-Secondary Attainment by ethnicity– 40% total rate for Americans
– 60% of Asians – 44% of white residents – 28% of African American – 23% of Native American, and – 20% of Hispanics/Latinos
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Focus of College Attainment by 2025
1. Increase enrollment, especially for underrepresented students.
2. Increase higher education degree completion.
3. Recognize all forms of high-quality postsecondary credentials.
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Increase enrollment, especially for underrepresented students
1. Increase underrepresented enrollment to 26.8 million by 20252. Double Hispanic enrollment3. Increase African American to 3.6 million 4. Increase Native American enrollment to 188,000
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Increase Higher Education Degree Completion
• Produce 4.1 million additional degrees over current rates by 2025
• Get 15% of the “some college” population to earn their degree
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Recognize all high-quality postsecondary Education
1. Georgetown University estimates that 7.8 million Americans hold a high-quality postsecondary credential
2. Currently, U.S. Census data does not include many postsecondary credentials in their reporting
3. Need to count high-quality, non-degree postsecondary credentials

How do we Motivate Students to achieve in
STEM?!
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
What Do They Need?
• Four critical qualities to help students motivate themselves:– Autonomy – Competence – Relatedness – Relevance.
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Autonomy• Educators commonly view this idea of choice through the lens
of organizational and procedural choice. • Providing students with freedom of choice is one strategy for
promoting learner autonomy. – Organizational choice, for example, might mean students having a voice in
seating assignments or members of their small learning groups. – Procedural choice could include a choice from a list of homework
assignments and what form a final project might take -- a book, poster, or skit.
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Competence• Competence can be inspired!
– Feedback, done well, is ranked by education researcher John Hattie as number 10 out of 150 influences on student achievement.• According to Hattie a proven strategy is to "build and
improve on ideas without using judgmental language.”– “Praising intelligence” makes people less willing to risk "their
newly-minted genius status," while praising effort encourages the idea that we primarily learn through our hard work (source: Carol Dweck)."
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Relatedness
• A high-quality relationship with a teacher whom they respect is a key element of helping students develop intrinsic motivation.
• Four simple suggestions adapted from Robert Marzano's ideas:– 1. Take a genuine interest in your students.– 2. Act friendly in other ways.– 3. Be flexible, and keep our eyes on the learning goal prize.– 4. Don't give up on students.
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Relevance• Have students solve problems and write about how they
see what they are learning as relevant to their lives.• Researchers had students write one paragraph after a
lesson sharing how they thought what they had learned would be useful to their lives. – Writing 1-8 of these during a semester led to positive
learning gains, especially for those students who had previously been "low performers."

What about the STEM Educator?!
Educator Development Impacts Student Education
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
“…Staff development is not just to implement instructional
innovations; its central purpose is to build strongcollaborative work cultures that will develop the long term capacity for
change.”
~ Michael Fullan
ISMTEC 2016 - Pamela McCauley, Ph.D., CPE
Educators Need Support, too!
• Teacher development improves student achievement
• Focus on Personal Innovation• Promote Organizational Innovation
