American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Teaching the teachers: Expanding impact of technical education through Secondary SchoolsAbstractSecondary schools are in a prime position to introduce students into careers in Supply ChainManagement and Logistics. However, these teachers often lack any practical experience in thefield and lack the understanding to communicate the latest trends, technologies, and careeropportunities to their students. The teachers also lack understanding in how to connect thesehigh-demand careers to their current course offerings in technology or business management.The NSF Award “Technology-Based Logistics: Leveraging Indiana’s Role as the Crossroads ofAmerica” (Awards 1304619

Mathematics (NCTM), andISTE standards, we are working with teachers to shift their instructional practices towards deeperscience and mathematics learning for all students and also making university faculty andgraduate students more aware of current performance expectations in high school science,technology, engineering, and mathematics.Current research on computational thinking in grades K-12 includes studies on idealcomputational thinking learning environments. For example, Repenning, Webb, & Ioannidou [9]found that effective computational thinking environments and tools for school children should beeasy enough to start using right away, yet powerful enough to satisfy the needs of more advancedlearners. The tools should scaffold to build skills
