5. Innovation Configuration Maps
provide…
• a description of what a specific educational innovation
“looks like” when well implemented.
• a mental image of an innovation in operation and
“vision” toward which the user is moving.
• a tool that shares information and helps individuals
and organizations figure out where they are and what
they need to do to move toward implementation.

This interactive session engages participants in learning the importance of engaging females and minorities in coding throughout K-12. Experience coding apps and tools that are specifically designed to engage these students. Develop a plan to bring the WOW of coding to girls and minorities in your area!
Brief introduction to us as an organization…with particular focus on our S2TEM Centers SC history as a state-wide STEM innovator and PD provider. This can be used to introduce presenters and where each are from…leading in to “Common Ground” on next slide….
Although it is titled STEM it is a guide for all schools that are keenly focused on preparing students for success in the jobs for the 21st Century and beyond.
S2TEM Centers SC has created an IC map for Characteristics of High Functioning STEM schools and schools wanting to become more STEM-Minded.
The S2TEM Centers SC IC Maps are designed to identify and describe the major components of STEM Schools and provide guidance for implementation.
It will assist schools in setting, implementing, and monitoring goals that lead to successful outcomes for learners at all levels of the organization/system
Instructional Support is interwoven throughout
The idea of a continuous improvement process is threaded throughout
Note that not all indicators have identified actions for all roles
The Feedback Spiral, an old friend of ours is one of the continuous improvement processes that a school might use. This concept is to be used by learners at all levels – students, teachers, leaders, community and organization. At the sustaining level, learners would be using a process to refine their efforts.
STEM schools aligned with the criteria identified in the IC maps will progress toward developing students with world class knowledge, world class skills, and life and career characteristics as defined by the Profile of the SC Graduate.
These are just a few
