What kinds of classroom norms do we need to establishfor productive engineering work to take place? These questions may be especially important inschools where students do not frequently have opportunities to engage with their peers in thekind of collaborative decision-making required by engineering design.    To begin to answer these important questions, we are conducting a multi-year design-basedresearch project investigating engineering language and literacy demands, resources, andsupports in economically disadvantaged urban U.S. elementary classrooms using the EiEcurriculum. This work involves identifying more and less

However, as a corollary body of work, much research has been done to examine thevalue of writing as discourse in science education and to scientific literacy3,4.In science, writing is a key method for building and distributing knowledge. The use ofnotebooks and other written inscriptions throughout the process of scientific investigation lead tofurther written documentation that become objects of discussion and peer review5. This is whyNorris and Phillips differentiate how to write and read in science, what they call the fundamentalsense of scientific literacy, from the knowledge of science (the

Children as young as 10 are designing, programming, and manufacturing suchartifacts as smart watches for their peers. The engagement and excitement is remarkable for theirage. A common theme amongst these Young Makers is that they have no formal education in, orknowledge of what is they are actually doing, from their K-12 schooling. And this is what makesit so fascinating. The Maker Mindset has much in common with ABET's student learningoutcomes for engineering students 8, 9 but is not rooted in similar standards and expectations atthe K-12 level.

In its most common configuration, it implies a single path that oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and

approach to teaching engineering inother commonly taught K-12 disciplines [18-20]. Another common argument is that engineeringskills should now be considered for all students, much as reading, writing and mathematics [21,22], and this is sometimes positioned as an early recruitment tool, with the idea that studentsmust be recruited prior to losing interest in STEM.Figure 1.

For most of theprogram’s history, three concurrent workshops have been offered each summer: one inmechanics, one in introductory chemistry, and an advanced curriculum writing workshop. Thecurriculum workshop is open to any teacher who has completed an introductory workshop andimplemented the Modeling approach. The majority of participants maintain ties after theirworkshops to the local and national Modeling community via active listservs and, primarily onthe local level, special events. Almost one-third of the teachers have taken at least twoworkshops through the program. Given that the workshops consist of three intense weeks duringthe

I can talk you through Javalater.” Walter seems to be organizing the level of instruction each will need as they proceed.Evidence for this can be seen from the way that Walter then organizes activity for eachnewcomer. He helps Eli find the code for the visual display, called a smart dashboard, that isavailable to the robot operators during competition, and allows Eli and another student to readthrough that code and interpret what it does. This is another form of enculturation employed byWalter, which can be seen as an early form of scaffolding, because Eli depends on peer supportto make sense of a worked example of code, but is not expected to write any code himself

This approach produced a contagious excitement and ownership because manystudents in sections following earlier introductory sections knew what to expect; their peers fromearlier sections had shared the idea outside of class. Furthermore, hands-on interactionsembedded in PBL4 allowed students to “do something” to “learn about something,” instead ofthe usual classroom teaching with singular focus on “learn about something.” At the start of theMUAV lesson, students drew names out of a hat to choose between four possible roles: pilotingthe MUAV, timing MUAV flight to measure its ground speed over a set number of parkingspaces located behind the

diSessa’s p-prims (Louca, Elby, Hammer, & Kagey, 2004),but for this study I am simply identifying various views, habits of mind, and patterns of actionthat seem tethered to decisions in various contexts. My framework states that 1. Teachers haverepertoires of resources that are bigger than what you would see at any given time. 2. Resourcesget “called up” or activated in various combinations due to situational conditions in response toclassroom, contextual, peer or social contexts, and are not necessarily consistently called upevery time. 3. Sometimes co-activated resources may be highly unstable and sometimes theymay be mutually reinforcing.In this paper I’m particularly interested in teacher moves, authority, what counts as knowledgeand
