Abstract

The Mitchell Community Schools are categorized as Title I schools and are working towards the goal of improving the educational development of its students by implementing STEAM strategies into the academic curriculum. The basic principle of Title 1 is that schools with large concentrations of low-income students will receive supplemental funds to assist in meeting student’s educational goals (US Legal, Inc., n.d.). Mitchell Community Schools are creating STEAM labs for a hands-on learning for their students. For this to development to its full potential, STEAM equipment is necessary.

This initiative is built on research that shows a strong correlation between a hands-on learning environment and an increase in developmental skills. To achieve the goal of providing STEAM equipment for the STEAM labs, the following activities will be conducted:

·       A full inventory of STEAM equipment present in schools

·       Develop a master list of desired STEAM equipment

·       Locate and purchase STEAM equipment

·       Observe the use of STEAM equipment in the classrooms and/or STEAM lab

·       Assess state-wide testing scores for the schools

Student’s educational development is important and with a majority of occupations developing in a STEAM related field, Mitchell Community Schools find it important to advance the educational curriculum towards the future of its students. This proposal will fund $3,500.00 towards STEAM equipment for the beginning of a hands-on learning environment for the Mitchell Community Schools in hope to see an increase in learning development.

Proposal Purpose

The purpose for this proposal is to fund STEAM supplies and equipment to provide students with an engaging learning experience while boosting their learning development to better prepare the students for their post-secondary education and career. Mitchell Community Schools are Title I schools located in Mitchell, Indiana that are in need of equipment to support their collaboration initiative in exploring methods of engaging instruction, discussing assessment and creating innovative opportunities for students to learn and grow. This grant proposal addresses the supplies and equipment needed for implementing the educational STEAM categories, science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, into the local school system. STEAM empowers teachers to employ project-based learning that crosses all 5 disciplines and fosters an inclusive learning environment where all students are able to engage and contribute (Lathan, 2020).

In addition to identifying the need for STEAM supplies and equipment, I discovered other school districts that have taken steps towards a STEAM curriculum. Charlotte Mecklenburg School District in North Carolina launched a STEM initiative at their Title 1 schools and discovered that by using hands-on learning to real world problems, the students were more engaged and involved. In just three years, the test scores between economically disadvantaged students and their classmates decreased from 37 points to 7 points (Gilmore, 2016).

A STEAM initiative developing within a school shows many rewards. For STEAM curriculum to be successful, a school needs to have the supplies and equipment to deploy it. The supplies and equipment would be stored in STEAM labs in Mitchell Community Schools where all educators can have access to incorporating STEAM in their lessons.

Needs Statement

Mitchell is a city located in Lawrence County Indiana. The population was 4,350 at the 2010 census. With a student population of 1,613 in the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, Mitchell Community School District, a low-income and low-resources school system, is developing a hands-on learning environment to engage students to become efficient critical thinkers by focusing on the five categories of STEAM. According to the Indiana Department of Education Compass, for the last four years, students in grades third through eighth in the Mitchell Community School System have not scored a pass rate at or above the state average on both the English/language arts and mathematics ISTEP+ (McCormick). IDOE also recorded that only 63% of local high school graduates enrolled in college and 29% needed remediation (College Readiness Reports, 2019). This school system faces an accumulation of disadvantages.

In order to advance towards a not only successful but thriving education system, the school system formed a collaboration, COSMOS[1], with two other surrounding school systems to develop a more effective education system and community. One aspect of the development is implementing a STEAM lab to use to infuse a STEAM curriculum. To successfully implement this program, STEAM equipment and supplies need to be available and organized for all educators in the school district. The STEAM lab in each school will house its own equipment in organizing tubs in easy access shelving units.

STEAM education provides both STEAM students with enrichment that is often not available within their set course of study (Segarra, Natalizio, Faulkenberg, Pulford, & Holmes, 2018). In today’s world, setting students up for future success means exposing them to these disciplines holistically in order to develop their critical thinking skills (Lathan, 2020). School districts all over the United States are venturing towards the enrichment of using a STEAM learning environment to move towards a new idea of learning for the students.

With STEAM equipment, VEX robotics, LEGO walls, water/sand tables, hydraulic kits, throughout the school district, we can link a STEAM curriculum to the current and future STEAM-related occupations. According to the Department of Labor, more than 65 percent of today’s students will grow up having careers that do not exist yet (Jamalian, 2018). If you consider that the workforce is advancing into the future but our methods of teaching and learning are stagnant, we are faced with an economic stalemate. STEAM can be the bridge needed to connect education to the workplace. Education has a goal is to give every student an opportunity to learn about the technologies they use, and more importantly, to help them identify themselves as innovators and changemakers that can take active roles in inventing solutions for the problems they care about (Jamalian, 2018). STEAM equipment availability and organization is imperative in this initiative to enhance the students minds to the expectations a career will require an individual to possess.

Goals, Objectives, and Strategies

            The goal is to increase the count of STEAM equipment in each school in Mitchell Community Schools sign-in logs in Lawrence County from 5 log-ins to 64 sign-in logs a month and monitor state-wide testing scores for an increase of math scores by 3% from 47% and an increase of reading by 3% from 56% by May 31, 2021.

Evaluation

As indicated in the timeline above, purchasing STEAM equipment will require the combined inventory of all STEAM equipment present in the STEAM labs in Mitchell Community Schools. This process will provide a final inventory of current STEAM equipment in the school system. An additional process will require a collaboration of teachers to develop a list of equipment they would like to utilize for their lessons in the STEAM lab. The outcome will be the purchase of a portion or entire list of requested STEAM equipment though online sources. This will be evaluated by the purchase receipts and shipping inventory. In evaluating the use of purchased STEAM equipment, I will observe activity in the STEAM lab. The process will benefit most through video and picture evidence. I will also create a STEAM equipment checklist of the current inventory and purchased equipment used during the observations. Also, sign-in sheets will be copied and filed that will list what concepts were covered during the lesson. This will evaluate not only evaluate the use of the STEAM lab but what equipment is used during which concepts. The final process will be to access Mitchell Community Schools state-testing scores to evaluate if there may be a correlation between STEAM equipment and an increase in testing scores by the rise in scores by 3% in reading and math from previous years. The outcome will be a compilation of data collected processed and filed delivered to the Lawrence County Community Foundation, AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant Program, and Regie Routman Teacher Recognition Grant.

Outcome: This goal can be accomplished within a 1.5-year time frame. The collaboration, COSMOS, principals, teachers, and research, will compile a specific list of essential STEAM equipment teachers desire to incorporate into their STEAM curriculum. I will monitor STEAM lab sign-ups and weekly STEAM lab observations to determine the use of the available equipment. State-wide testing will also be referenced to determine if a STEAM lab and curriculum has assisted in an increase in the student’s testing percentages within the school system.

Sustainability

Mitchell Community Schools are in need of STEAM equipment to support their teachers in developing engaging instruction, discussing assessment and creating innovative opportunities for the students. By developing a master inventory list of current STEAM equipment in the school buildings, we can compile a list of requested equipment and supplies teachers desire to utilize for STEAM strategies. Teachers will develop STEAM strategies to use the equipment to reinforce instruction. This will lead to an increase in state-testing scores in reading and math.

The 100% of the funds from the Lawrence County Community Foundation, AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant Program, and Regie Routman Teacher Recognition Grant will be utilized to purchase the initial STEAM equipment. Sustainability for the purchase or replacement of equipment in the future will come from multiple sources. A page will be created on the DONORCHOOSE.ORG website to encourage individuals to voluntarily donate funds to replace or purchase equipment. An additional source will be partnering with the Mitchell Community Schools Parent and Teacher Organization to raise funds through fundraisers that reach out to the families in the community. Last, I will reach out to local businesses and companies seeking pledges of recyclable supplies or funds to replace and/or purchase additional equipment.

Mitchell Community Schools are grateful for the opportunity to seek support from the Regie Routman Teacher Recognition Grant, Lawrence County Community Foundation Teacher Grant, and the AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant. We hope that the Regie Routman Teacher Recognition Grant will support our goal with a grant of $2,500.00. We all hope that the Lawrence County Community Foundation Teacher Grant will support our goal with $500.00. Also, we hope to see support of a $500.00 grant from AIAA Foundation Classroom Grant. This will support the purchase of equipment, taxes or fees, shipping, and price changes on the equipment. This will support the 1.5-year time frame of monitoring the STEAM equipment purchase, use, and state-wide testing scores for improvement from the students hands-on learning environment.

Summary

            Mitchell Community Schools are Title I schools that are trying to meet the educational needs of their students. We are seeking to provide the school system with the means to create a hands-on learning environment by providing equipment that are STEAM oriented. The modest budget of $3,500 will provide STEAM equipment to assist in reinforcing instruction given by the educators. Research from other school systems that have introduced STEAM strategies into their school system have seen a positive impact on their testing scores. We hope that our school system will benefit from the hands-on learning environment with an increase in our state-wide testing scores. We appreciate the funding consideration of $3,500 to provide STEAM equipment for STEAM labs in the Mitchell Community Schools beginning June 1, 2020 and proceeding through the 2020-2021 school year.
