After our meeting yesterday, I contacted a friend of mine who is the STEM Project Manager for the Florida Virtual School.  She has been working with STEM development since 2007 here in Cincinnati and has recently moved to St. Pete.  She has visited STEM schools throughout the country and suggested investigating some schools that are on the right track in states such as Minnesota and Texas.  I'll find out some additional details this weekend. 

Until then, she sent a link to a webinar that she thought might be helpful.  You will have to register for the seminar to view the video.

Duration: 60 minutes
