Graduate students who support elementary level teachers are assigned tosupport up to three teachers throughout the academic year while graduate students who areassigned to support middle school are assigned up to two teachers per academic year. The levelof support (5 versus 7.5 hours per week per teacher) is determined based on the specialization ofthe teacher with whom the graduate student works and the amount of classroom time dedicatedto science and/or mathematics. Graduate students support the participating teachers byidentifying or developing appropriate instructional science and engineering lesson plans,assisting the teachers with scientific or in-class engineering experiments

This seminar introduced the participant to the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy11 and Bloom’s action verbs that establish quantifiable learning objectives for all levels of cognitive learning. Participants were asked to create a set of learning objectives for their practice class, share them with a colleague to improve their clarity, and to modify them to increase

semester-long projects by the end of the term. Formany years, non-completion of projects or personality problems within teams was rare – perhapsone out of a hundred per semester. Recently, more teams have been having trouble, and thecourse has been growing as well. For instance, we had 15 cases of non-completion in Fall 2013and 11 cases in Spring 2014. In our summer 2014 planning meetings, we decided that somethingneeded to be done to address teamwork as a learnable skill because it is such an integral part ofengineering.In our opinion, the higher rate of non-completion was mostly due to current students havingdifficulties with communicating face-to-face; the skill set required to discuss how to jointly dotheir projects is sorely lacking in

But E-Lead goes well beyond being a program, an initiative, ora cluster of classes added to a degree plan. The E-Lead program also develops a culture wherestudents actively contribute to their own education and where individual contributions are valuedand important.
