Developing students’ strengths while teaching the content required by national and state standards in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is challenging for classroom teachers. In the Cultivating Diverse Talent in STEM (CDTIS) project, the assessment results found in strength-based reports gave teachers the tools needed to pursue STEM projects that were community and globally inspired, student selected, and aligned with standards. Results of Discovering Intellectual Strengths and Capabilities while Observing Varied Ethnic Responses (DISCOVER) assessments were compiled into easy-to-understand charts and profiles for each student and the class as a whole; the data from assessments of creative problem-solving in all domains were combined to show the students’ strengths. Profiles were then given to students and their parents. Reports contained a summary of the assessments, ideas for developing each area of strength, useful materials, ways to move from focusing on “right answers” to rewarding creative thinking, and careers aligned with the domains of ability. Teachers and students participated in Real Engagement in Active Problem Solving (REAPS) in which students solved real-world problems from their local communities and the world that were connected to their academic areas of study. Using REAPS in any STEM area boosts students’ focus, motivation, interest, and understanding.

在课堂上实施 STEM 评估结果的实用指南：使用基于实力的报告和实际参与主动解决问题

在教授国家和州标准要求的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 内容的同时培养学生的优势对课堂教师来说是一项挑战。在 STEM 培养多元化人才 (CDTIS) 项目中，基于实力的报告中的评估结果为教师提供了开展 STEM 项目所需的工具，这些项目受社区和全球启发、学生选择并符合标准。在观察不同种族反应的同时发现智力优势和能力的结果 (DISCOVER) 被编译成易于理解的图表和简介，供每个学生和整个班级使用；综合所有领域创造性解决问题的评估数据来展示学生的优势。然后向学生和他们的父母提供个人资料。报告包含评估摘要、发展每个优势领域的想法、有用的材料、从关注“正确答案”转向奖励创造性思维的方法，以及与能力领域相一致的职业。教师和学生参与了积极解决问题的真正参与 (REAPS)，学生在其中解决了当地社区和与他们的学术研究领域相关的世界的现实问题。在任何 STEM 领域使用 REAPS 都能提高学生的注意力、动力、兴趣和理解力。教师和学生参与了积极解决问题的真正参与 (REAPS)，学生在其中解决了当地社区和与他们的学术研究领域相关的世界的现实问题。在任何 STEM 领域使用 REAPS 都能提高学生的注意力、动力、兴趣和理解力。教师和学生参与了积极解决问题的真正参与 (REAPS)，学生在其中解决了当地社区和与他们的学术研究领域相关的世界的现实问题。在任何 STEM 领域使用 REAPS 都能提高学生的注意力、动力、兴趣和理解力。
