PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Next Gen Science and CS50
Ideas to energize EARJ´s STEM attributes
Context
STEM is growing in importance within Brazilian parents' minds
Competition
New players to take over "modernity" within the bilingual education segment
USA positioning as #1 in STEM should be used to reclaim EARJ´s edge on other competitors
STRATEGY
Next Gen Science + Harvard´s CS50
Next Gen Science (USA)
- Newest standard for science teaching
- Strong fit with EARJ´s makerspace
- Can be easily communicated as being a differentiation factor
CS50 (Harvard)
- Best selling CS course of all time
- High school version recently released (AP or CSP)
- CS50 pedagogy proved to be more effective among "general" students
- Harvard to directly issue certificates
Sugestions
Start small. Grow fast.
Starting Small
- CS50 CSP at EARJ (2016)
- NGSS Ignite (EARJ´s makerspace - 2016)
Growing Fast
- CS50 CSP at EARJ to create a "tradition" of being the best and most famous CS course in town
- NGSS implementation to entirely transform the way K12 science is taught thus recovering EARJ´s STEM protagonism in Rio
Who I Am
- Computer scientist (UFRJ), tech entrepreneur and science teacher
- Doing my Masters at Oxford University (Teacher Education in Science)
- Proud father of an IB Diploma student (British School).
