ENSURING EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION
This Policy Statement is a living document, containing challenging proposals which require commitment across the education system to achieve the stated ambitions.
The Department will
·Ensure that appropriate commitments are contained in the Performance Delivery Agreements and Frameworks with relevant bodies and education providers
·Support a range of initiatives as part of a balanced STEM education experience for all learners
·Promote STEM innovation and creativity across the education system and address barriers, deficits and Shortfalls
This Policy Statement recognizes the importance of the commitment of schools and early years settings and the requirement to support them to do this work. The commitment of the Teaching Council (the Council) is central to embedding this Policy Statement through the continuum of teacher education.
Higher Education Institutions and providers of programmes of Initial Teacher Education have a responsibility to take account of this Policy Statement to ensure programme graduates have the necessary STEM skills and pedagogical content knowledge as they embark upon their career in teaching.
Business and industry will engage in partnerships with schools with a focus on how they can best support STEM education in our schools and provide learners with an insight into how STEM learning can develop into a career in STEM.
Effective realization of this Policy Statement and Implementation Plan will depend on the availability of resources to ensure that actions are carried out.
IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
This policy statement will be implemented in three phases between 2017 and 2026.
An Implementation plan will be developed for each of the implementation phases and will detail timelines and responsibilities.
Implementation Phase 1: 2017-2019 – Enhancing
Phase 1 will seek to accelerate activity already underway in key areas.
Implementation Phase 2: 2020-2022 – Embedding
The focus of Phase 2 will be on deepening capacity building and supporting a coherent STEM environment.
Implementation Phase 3: 2023-2026 – Realising
Phase 3 will focus on realising the vision of providing the highest quality STEM education experience for learners.
This Policy Statement sets out a phased approach to the promotion of STEM Education, with the aim of helping learners become engaged, creative and critical thinkers, global citizens and active resilient learners in a changing learning environment.
確保有效執行
這份政策聲明是一份活的文件,包含了一些具有挑戰性的建議,需要整個教育系統為實現既定目標而做出承諾。
該部門將:
·確保與相關機構和教育提供商的績效交付協議和框架中包含適當的承諾;
·支持一系列舉措,以作為所有學習者平衡的STEM教育體驗的一部分;
·促進整個教育系統的STEM創新和創造力,解決障礙、赤字和短缺的問題。
這份政策聲明認識到保證學校和早期環境的重要性,以及支持他們完成這項工作的要求。教學委員會(理事會)的承諾是將這一政策聲明貫穿于教師教育的核心。
高等教育機構和初級教師教育項目的提供者有責任考慮這一政策聲明,以確保項目畢業生在從事教學工作時具備必要的STEM技能和教學內容知識。
工商界將與學校建立伙伴關系,重點是如何最大限度地支持我們學校的STEM教育,并讓學習者了解STEM學習如何發展成為STEM職業。
這一政策聲明和實施計劃的有效實現將取決于資源的可用性,以確保行動得以實施。
