From the Conference Chair, John McNamara and John Parker, WSTA President:
Welcome to the 2014 Washington Science Teachers Association Annual Conference. Following in an almost 50 year tradition, we are happy to provide excellent and relevant professional development from, by and for the best teachers of science. Our theme says it all: Science and STEM for all. Though that may be thought redundant by some, it captures the full, broad and integrated nature and necessity of science, technology, engineering and math skills for all students. We are concentrating on the new NGSS and Common Core standards; on increasing integration of STEM topics and concepts with other learning goals (Literacy, Language Arts, Social Studies, and History). We also will have great professional development for elementary teachers needing to meet new state professional development and PGP standards. From college bound to job or work bound, we will have great success stories of how to engage students and improve STEM learning for all. We have great keynote speakers, Patrick D’Amelio from Washington STEM addressing the need for STEM training for great careers for our students and the coming opportunities for more students to find such careers; Ellen Ebert from OSPI to take you through the highlights of the new NGSS standards and changes upcoming and how to get ready; and Okhee Lee and Rita Januszyk to show what classroom teachers can do to ensure that the NGSS are accessible to all students; to highlight learning opportunities and demands that NGSS offer for the student groups that have traditionally been underserved in science education. Our FRIDAY field trips are varied, fun, and offer professional development (clock hours) in a variety of STEM applications, from Native American history, local geology, K-12, University and business STEM programs to the science and enjoyment of fermentation and wine, we hope Friday will be a BIG day for all. Clock hours for most tours; please see websit for details. After your travels, on Friday at 5:30, join all of us with the vendors and sponsors and non-profit organizations for food, drink and fellowship. Learn about resources and win prizes! On Saturday at the Spokane Convention center spend the day networking and learning with the best teachers around. All grade levels, all subjects, college bound students, work bound students, technology, language arts, you name it we will be providing professional development for all K-12 teachers. We will also have a special session or sessions with OSPI representatives to specifically address the new certification and STEM professional development requirements following RCW 28A.410.2212: Washington professional educator standards board — Certificate renewal rules for teachers in STEM-related subjects. Saturday evening, after a day of learning, join us at Mobius Science Center within walking distance of the convention center and hotels to eat, drink, recognize excellence and play (Play STEM that is). Sunday morning join Professor Okhee Lee and Colleague Rita Januszyk to show how we can include all students in STEM learning, and continue your professional development until lunchtime, you can order a lunch for the road on the registration page.
This is about the 20th WSTA conference I (John Mc) have helped with and the third I have chaired, and I (John P.) have worked to help get all the WSTA members past and present back to the great professional development we offer. With the help of the WSTA Board, WSTA membership, Battelle, OSPI, Washington State, Eastern Washington, Western Washington, Central Washington, and Gonzaga Universities and University of Washington, businesses, Washington STEM, Washington Association for Career and Technical Education, Spokane Public Facilities District, Mobius Science Center and many others, I am confident this will be one of the biggest and best we have had. The timing is right for adapting to the new NGSS and Common Core, for expanding STEM teaching in relevant ways in elementary education, for preparing our students for the future and for going home enthused and able to continue a great tradition of a leading STEM state! See you in Spokane!

3 great people to talk about Why STEM? Where are the jobs? What does the NGSS transition mean for me as a teacher and how, YES, you can do STEM for All!
Patrick D’Amelio, WA STEM - Training Students for STEM jobs and careers-what and where are they?
Washington leads the nation in creation of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) but faces a STEM shortage in the coming years. Of the 85,000 children who enter Washington’s education system each year, only 8,000 become Washington state STEM employees. Washington is making progress, but what can we do more to ensure all students are prepared for our STEM-driven economy of today and the future? Science teachers have a critical role to play in ensuring all students graduate from high-school STEM ready.Patrick D’Amelio is Chief Executive Officer of Washington STEM. As CEO, he is responsible for the management, programs, and infrastructure of the organization. With his vision, Patrick leads Washington STEM in advancing equity, excellence, and innovation in STEM education.

Okhee Lee and Rita Januszyk - Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): All Standards, All Students
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) offer a vision of academic rigor by blending scientific and engineering practices with disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts across K-12. As these standards are cognitively demanding, teachers must make instructional shifts to enable all students to be college and career ready. This presentation will address what classroom teachers can do to ensure that the NGSS are accessible to all students.First, it will start with a brief description of changing demographics among K-12 students and achievement gaps by demographic subgroups in science education. Second, it will highlight both learning opportunities and demands that NGSS offer for the student groups that have traditionally been underserved in science education. Third, it will make connections of the NGSS to Common Core State Standards for English language arts and literacy and for mathematics. Finally, it will describe the scope of work by the NGSS Diversity and Equity Team as an integral part of the NGSS.
Okhee Lee is a professor in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University. Her research areas include science education, language and culture, and teacher education.

Saturday October 18Th Special Pogil Sessions Saturday Morning And Afternoon
PLEASE NOTE: For the Pogil series, times are different than the main sessions. Attendees can go to any and all sessions, but if they want Pogil Certification they must join them all. Special POGIL sessions are for all disciplines and High School and College 102A Saturday 9:40 to 12:40 Mare Sullivan, Laura Levine.
POGILPart I: An Introduction to Process-Oriented Guided- Inquiry LearningPart II: The Structure of Guided- Inquiry Learning ActivitiesIn Part l we’ll collaborate with our HS and college peers to complete two guided-inquiry activities that encourage students to question, use models, analyze data, argue from evidence, and improve oral and written communication skills. Immerse yourself in a POGIL environment to experience this effective pedagogy for improving STEM mastery. In Part II we’ll deconstruct a science activity to discover the underlying design of a POGIL activity and identify how the learning cycle is embedded.
POGILPart III: Process Skills and Facilitation Skills in a POGIL Classroom POGILPart IV: Overcoming Obstacles to Implementing POGIL
Students need to master more than simply disciplinary core ideas. Help your students to internalize the scientific and engineering practices they will need in STEM careers. In Part III we will help hone your own skills in facilitating guided-inquiry activities with your students and we’ll investigate the scientific and vocational process skills incorporated into POGIL activities and the teacher facilitation skills utilized during a POGIL lesson. Puzzled about how to make POGIL work or work better in your own classroom? Part IV is the session for you! Whether you have just heard about POGIL at one of today’s sessions or you have been using POGIL in your classroom for years, here is the place to ask those burning questions.
Pogil Part III:NOTE: This session assumes a basic understanding of POGIL pedagogy, from the “POGIL Part I” session or a prior POGIL presentation you have attended.
Students need to master more than simply disciplinary core ideas. Help your students to internalize the scientific and engineering practices they will need in STEM careers. Help yourself to hone your own skills in facilitating guided-inquiry activities with your students. Work with your HS and college peers to investigate the scientific and vocational process skills incorporated into POGIL activities and the teacher facilitation skills utilized during a POGIL lesson.

Transforming the WorldFor 50 years, Battelle staff working at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland have pushed the boundaries of science. We’ve moved technologies to market and reshape the way we work and live.
PNNL’s scientific discoveries and innovations have led to more fuel-efficient cars. Safer airports and borders. An electric power grid that is more reliable and efficient. And much more – all part of an effort to make our nation more secure and prosperous.
Over the same half century, Battelle has been active in southeast Washington, investing heavily in civic, health and human services projects, the arts and most of all – in education. Battelle nurtures elementary, secondary and postsecondary school programs that emphasize science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We engage in innovative education collaborations such as Delta High School, the Hanford Reach Interpretive Center, Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform (LASER), Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA) and the Mid-Columbia STEM Education Collaboratory.
