Lack of time to plan andimplement NE was cited as the topmost challenge for teachers.  Inability to figure out books andproblems, pressure from administration, difficulties in lesson planning, group dynamics amongstudents, and safety of students while handling materials were some of the other concernsmentioned in the evaluation.Similar findings were uncovered in a survey of 70 elementary and middle school teachers doneby Coppola, S.M., Madariaga, L. and Schnedeker, M.

They found that lack of time, access tomaterials and resources, and unfamiliarity with the content were major barriers that preventintegrating engineering into the classroom.Research MethodologyA list of potential barriers for NE

Enhance teachers’ bioengineering content knowledge and pedagogical skills. 2. Enable teachers to translate laboratory research into practical, NGSS-aligned curricula. 3. Address educational equity by preparing teachers to better support diverse, urban student populations.Adopted in Illinois in 2014 to be in effect by the 2016-17 school year, NGSS required complexcurriculum planning on the part of districts. The framework relates science to students’ everydaylives, ensures students learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technologicalinformation, and prepares them with the skills

In these steps, students worked in small groupsto brainstorm possible solutions, eventually building and modeling their designs. Finally, mostengineering design processes conclude with a third phase requiring testing of designs and aformal decision on the most appropriate solution based on the tests [15]. The EDP used by Putraet al. [4] followed all three phases of the design process, broken into the following steps: Define,Learn, Plan, Try, Test, and Decide.

The success of these programs in meeting their objectives demonstrateshow vital it is to jointly consider three factors: Results (learner outcomes), Reproducibility(adequacy of resources), and Representation (diverse and inclusive staffing and studentparticipation). The program partnership rubric was developed to help partnerships plan andevaluate their programs based on these three factors. How the rubric was used to plan these pilotprograms and determine how and/or whether to run them again is explained.Introduction In the United States, students in

elementarygrades, many elementary teachers report a lack of time, teaching self-efficacy, and disciplinaryknowledge for planning and enacting engineering learning experiences in their classrooms [4].To address these challenges, professional development workshops and graduate courses havebeen developed to support elementary teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and teachingengineering self-efficacy. Indeed, recent studies have shown that these standalone professionaldevelopment experiences can result in significant gains for in-service elementary teachers’teaching self-efficacy and reduce their perceived barriers to teaching engineering in theirclassrooms [5], [6]. However, this raises the question about how elementary preservice teachers(PSTs), those

Students also self-reported learning more aboutsustainability, engineering, and biology concepts through the lesson.
