Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):            a. Learning objectives            b. Hands-on activities and interactive exercises            c. Materials that participants can take with them            d. Practical application for teachers and outreach staff      LASER (Leadership & Assistance for Science Education Reform) is a Washington statewideeffort co-led by Pacific Science Center and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (operated byBattelle) in partnership with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). For 15years, LASER has catalyzed and supported sustainable innovation and improvement in K-12science education. LASER is accomplishing two goals: 1) to facilitate the successful adoption ofthe Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) across Washington state through professionaldevelopment and a science/engineering notebook tool to integrate NGSS and Common CoreState Standards (CCSS); and 2) to build leadership capacity for high quality STEM education inWashington through a STEM Leadership Institute.We developed training materials for a science/engineering notebook tool in preparation forprofessional development funded by OSPI. In Fall & Spring 2014 we hosted two 3-day intensiveworkshops for LASER Alliance Directors and their teams. These events built on events held in2011-2014 to provide feedback on early drafts of NGSS, and supported adoption of the finalversion. We are preparing to hold a 5-day intensive STEM Leadership Institute in summer 2015.The Institute will support the integration of NGSS into CCSS efforts, working with school-basedteams of teacher leaders, administrators and community members.In this workshop, participants will learn the systemic model and strategies with whichWashington State LASER has accomplished:    1) Building the capacity of the school districts to deliver quality science and engineering   education through an emphasis on curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional   development, materials and equipment support and administrative and community support,   2) Facilitating alignment of science and engineering instructional materials to state standards   and Common Core State Standards in order to help student be ready to succeed in college   and careers,   3) Establishing, maturing and evolving a K-8 science and engineering program that is   designed to improve teaching and learning in classrooms and schools across Washington   State in the 21st Century.Immersive engineering experiences and the science/engineering notebook tool used in theintensive workshops delivered by Washington LASER will anchor this workshop. Participants atall levels in the school district will be able to adapt the model, strategies, and immersiveWA LASER 2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form.docxPage 3 of 7                      WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                      Saturday, June 13, 2015                                      8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

In addition to providing immersive engineeringexperiences that illustrate the engineering practices and connect to CCSS, workshop leaders, whoare also Washington LASER’s leaders, will conduct a facilitated experience and interactivediscussion of strategies and lessons learned using the model for Washington’s successfulstatewide systemic STEM network. This model can be replicated in the context of a singleschool, a school district, consortia of school districts with external partners, as well as at the statelevel. The Washington LASER model is successful because of strong partnerships among formaleducation, informal education, and business. Participants who come from any of these sectorswill come away from this workshop with a proven model for systemic change in STEMeducation institutions, strategies for implementing it, and new activities for shifting instruction toinclude engineering practices in the classroom.WA LASER 2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form.docxPage 4 of 7                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                     Saturday, June 13, 2015                                     8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                  Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAAuthentic Engineering Connection. Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:       X Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement       X Attention to specific engineering habits of mind       X Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as         practiced by engineers)       X Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity       X Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):Participants will experience an iterative engineering design activity co-led by an engineer who isalso a K-12 educator and the Co-Director of Washington State’s LASER Initiative. This activitycalls out specific engineering practices in the context of the design process. As part of the sense-making following the activity, the presenters address the neurodiversity of students in theclassroom and how their diverse ways of experiencing the world strengthen an engineering teamand adapt them to specific career roles in engineering.Diversity. This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems. To do that and to have an engineering-literate public, it is essential that we reach everypreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity.Provide a description of how you will explicitly address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):There are a variety of labels used to describe learners in the classroom (e.g. on the autismspectrum, dyslexic, learning disabled, ADHD, and others). The presenters will highlight thestrengths that each of these learners bring to an engineering team and how K-12 educators canstructure engineering experiences so that these students can experience these attributes asstrengths that enable them to contribute valuable input to their engineering team. This approachhas been enthusiastically embraced by formal and informal educators who have attended theWashington LASER professional development upon which this workshop is based.WA LASER 2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form.docxPage 5 of 7                    WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                    Saturday, June 13, 2015                                    8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.
