AGENDA Introduction Two Examples Table Discussions / Brainstorming Rapid-Fire Recommendations 23. Rapid Fire Recommendations (30 seconds!) Topic (A) Adopting & Adapting Specific to the two case studies, Click2Science & the NMC Academy, discuss how these could be adopted or adapted across California. Which specific organizations, including your own, can benefit from these examples of STEM PD 3.0? What would be the things you need to do that more effectively? What are the next steps you need from us to make that happen? 24. Rapid Fire Recommendations (30 seconds!) Topic (B) More Networks of Opportunities Youve just heard two case studies that provide examples of innovations in STEM PD. What are some other exemplary models of STEM professional development youve seen in and beyond California, online or on-ground? To help CSLnet create an expanded network of opportunities for STEM PD 3.0 across California, list some of the top organizations/programs and why you believe their approach should be replicated or scaled. Include any reference URLs, too, so we can easily share your recommendations. 25. Rapid Fire Recommendations (30 seconds!) Topic (C) Incentives & Recognition Digital badges are a new form of professional recognition being used by organizations. Will this work? What, in general, are some of the essential incentives needed to encourage and enable wide-scale participation in STEM PD and how can digital badges be linked to these professional incentives? 26.
