Steven Covey, Habit 2
- We have a very TOUGH job!
- Do we teach engineering or Engineering?
- What is Engineering byDesign?
- What do we mean by a Standards-Based Model?
- The BIG picture the EbD Program
- The EbD Network
- How to become part of the Network
3We Have a Very Tough Job!
- Schools are under intense pressure for students
to achieve higher gains on tests - Teachers are coping to change from the way they
learned to teach, to research-based methods - Districts are moving towards smaller schools
around career themes and looking for innovative
focused alternatives - Everyone has an opinion about testing, change,
smaller learning communities, and school reform - Competition for student interest is INTENSE!

5Do We Teach engineering or Engineering?
engineering little e used as a verb to
teach all students to think or learn to engineer
or use engineering concepts Engineering big
E used as a noun prepare students to be
Engineers career oriented

THE CURRICULUM IS ANCHORED ON THE BENCHMARKS
Curriculum is developed using the Backwards
Design Model Wiggins McTighe
22 THE CURRICULUM IS ANCHORED ON THE BENCHMARKS
23Emphasizing Big Ideas
Ideas we want students to get inside of and
retain after theyve forgotten many of the
details.
Based on Achieving Scientific Literacy From
Purpose to Practices by Roger W. Bybee
24Instead of Emphasizing Big Ideas We OFTEN
teach MY FAVORITE STUFF Or A Few of My
Favorite Things
