theNGSS [34]. The urgent need for large-scale teacher PD to support schools for effective adoptionof NGSS has been highlighted recently [35]. Unfortunately, as reported in a study of NGSS-focused PD [31], participating teachers experienced significant challenges in aligning lessons tothe NGSS because of (1) limited time, materials, and curricular resources and lack of continuedsupport and (2) lack of assessments to support teacher transition away from the old sciencestandards. According to [31], incorporating the NGSS in classroom teaching and learning wasadditionally challenging because new NGSS-aligned assessments were not adopted by the schooldistricts, resulting in a mismatch between classroom instruction vs. the student learning outcomes.For

develop grade level appropriate lesson plans based ontheir experiences. The five-week program consisted of teachers conducting team-based research,weekly meetings with graduate student mentors, reviewing journal articles, attendingprofessional development meetings, and building scientific written and verbal communicationskills. The weekly themes were 1) Orientation, Literature Review and Introduction to Python, 2)Introduction to OpenCV and Basics of Computer Vision, 3) Introduction to Machine Learning,4) Implement the Monitoring, and 5) Analyzing Data, Developing Lessons and ResearchPresentations (see Table 2 for detailed program agenda).Table 2.

This paperinvestigates the connection between our RET program and long-term female and minority studentachievement in the forms of high school graduation rates and undergraduate STEM major selectionrates using a state agency K-12 and higher education database. As a comparison, state agency datafrom students of nonRET teachers within the same schools and grade

evaluate main project and Quick- 1Build submissions, we developed a rubric with categories spanning the steps in the engineeringdesign process. Accuracy, reliability, and ease of implementation were considered when designingthe rubric.Compared to other high school engineering programs that offer sequential engineering courses,our proposed curriculum is unique in that it offers students an opportunity to learn about differentengineering disciplines, teamwork, time management, project management, planning, execution,and evaluation via a project-based learning environment [12-13]. During the semester, studentssimultaneously work on long term and short
