STEM. Educationally, STEM instruction is viewed as a tool to successfully accomplish all learning goals. Additionally, as a field of study, STEM looks for highly proficient students and tries to increase their interest in these fields so that we develop the innovators of the future. Our goal is to get them through high school prepared for rigorous college coursework so they can become the leaders of tomorrow’s industry. Educationally we see STEM as a very specialized, high-tech field we are grooming our students to join. Industry, on the other hand, has a very unique view. STEM from the workforce perspective is significantly different and more about grooming workers with 21st-century skills who are ready to jump right in. When teachers think about technology, we envision computers, touchscreens, and digital data-collection tools. Technology in industry is about thinking outside the box and using materials to solve problems. Scissors were once considered a form of technology, and for industrial purposes, they really are. They were created to solve a problem: how to cut something more precisely. Problem-solving and developing quick and cost-effective solutions on the go are what industry is seeking in the next- generation workforce. Biochemistry, engineering, computer programming, and emerging technologies are just a small sliver of what the STEM workforce needs. These positions require the most skills, and we need to continue developing students for these specialized fields, but we cannot forget the larger segment of industry that relies on STEM. Construction, transportation, and even the hospitality industry rely on a STEM-developed workforce. Whether it’s understanding how an engine works, or plotting trucking routes, the advanced level of technical knowledge and problem- solving capability needed for these positions have become obstacles that did not previously exist. Industries view career and technical education as a key piece of STEM education. Students must be prepared for any path they choose in life, whether it is directly into a STEM career or studying a specialized STEM field in college. The educational program at Xxxxxxx Academy is about preparing all students for their future. Thoroughness Standards (Idaho Code 33-1612) Xxxxxxx Academy will fulfill the thoroughness standards identified in Idaho Code 33-1612. It will establish a thorough system of instruction that will fully address the following standards:

Competencies and skills will be developed in Career management skills - to help find jobs and prepare for recruitment; ...
STEM. In 2017/18 23.5% of Scottish-domiciled undergraduate entrants at UWS were to STEM courses (National Measure 8); this continued the growth of STEM students from 22.1% in 2015/16; over the same period the absolute number of students enrolled on STEM programmes at UWS has grown from 1026 to 1213, an increase of 18 percent. In-line with the University’s academic portfolio review UWS has introduced a Masters in Information and Network Security, and introduced a new BSc Cyber Security (Hons) for 2018/19 entry. This programme includes Level 7 and 9 entry allowing college students a new pathway for progression. These programmes are well-aligned to developing skills sectors and meeting future demands. UWS has joined forces with the International Space School Education Trust (ISSET). The partnership will give PhD students and research staff the opportunity to test research projects out on the International Space Station (ISS) and collaborate with NASA and other American academic institutions. At the launch event at the University’s Paisley campus, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the most experienced British-born astronaut, spoke to an audience of students, senior Scottish academia and industry, about his experience. UWS takes part in a wide range of outreach work involving STEM. For example, UWS will participate in the STEM event ‘Bang Goes DG!’ which will be held at Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries. The Dumfries and Xxxxxxxx Fair in 2019 will have a focus on food and drink. In July 2018, UWS led the first STEM academy in partnership with the Royal Society of Chemistry, the University of St Xxxxxxx and the University of Edinburgh and brought together student primary teachers, secondary school pupils, STEM-subject academics and industry experts. Pupils from ten local authorities attended, with 60% of pupils from schools in areas of high deprivation. University students supported pupils during the creation of a STEM based activity, including how it can be delivered in a primary and secondary setting. This provided an insight into working with pupils and aimed to encourage participants to consider a future careers in teaching, particularly for males. UWS has launched a partnership with PACE Theatre Company to deliver interactive, drama-based workshops to inspire primary school children to consider careers in STEM. The first workshop, named ‘Engineering Wonder’, took place in October 2018 at PACE Theatre Company’s Paisley studios, and encouraged local families to come along. The free, interac...

Creative Industries has more focus on technical courses with progression to mainstream college courses and has introduced a School of Digital Skills at the request of the City of Edinburgh Council. Both Engineering and Creative Industries have courses for S4/5 pupils leading to an HN in S6. HW&SS have replaced courses in Early Education with new provision, introduced a course in Youth & Community Work and also a course in Nutrition and Health to complement the offer of Creative Hairdressing & Make-Up Trends. Construction are offering National Certificate Group Awards in Built Environment and Civil Engineering as well as a pilot Foundation Apprenticeship. Developing the academy model in partnership with Edinburgh Xxxxxx University The academy model has now been adapted so that a new STEM curriculum area has been added (Engineering) in partnership with a new university (Edinburgh Xxxxxx University). In 2015/16, 30 Students from each of two local authorities (City of Edinburgh and Midlothian) in total began their studies and in 15/16 completed their studies. In 2016/17, a further cohort of new first year students will also be recruited from both these local authorities. Also in 2016/17, East Lothian Council has indicated it will also require provision to be made for its schools with a cohort planned to start in this year. The Engineering Academy will therefore grow from its current baseline of 15 students in 2015/16, up to 45 students in 2016/17 depending on how many of this year’s cohort progress and the number recruited from East Lothian.
