http://nstacommunities.org/stemedcoalition/
The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition works to support STEM programs for teachers and students at the U. S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, and other agencies that offer STEM related programs.

The STEM Education Coalition is composed of advocates from over 1,000 diverse groups representing all sectors of the technological workforce – from knowledge workers, to educators, to scientists, engineers, and technicians. The participating organizations of the STEM Education Coalition are dedicated to ensuring quality STEM education at all levels. Read the STEM Coalition Objectives.

The Coalition is co-chaired by the American Chemical Society and the National Science Teachers Association. Meetings are held monthly at the American Chemical Society, 1155 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC.

But if you want some great lesson ideas for PBL, use your IFD’s in CSCope and then, plug in some of the ideas listed below!
Educator and PBL Design Challenges Here:
In 2008, Transformation 2013 worked with master science and math educators to design PBLs for the core math and science areas. These design challenges are rigorous, aligned with CSCOPE and include career connections, 21st Century skills and provide STEM connections. Click the course to see and download the design challenges.

Transformation 2013 utilizes a research based model for creating PBLs. Click here to download the model. Feel free to use this to plan your own PBLs, however we ask that you use the model in the entire format and not alter any components. As the model is updated and revised the new version will be posted.

Educators from STEM academies and public high schools across Texas gathered to learn, create and share problem based learning activities. Below are the fruits of their labor. Feel free to use in your classroom. Please give credit to the original author.

While each project is correlated to a high school course, we encourage you to delve into a variety of projects as many lend themselves to other subject areas.
