Collaboratories

​

STEM Hub Collaboratories are cross-sector work groups with a targeted focus on the four strategic areas of Empowered Educators, Community Collaboration, Career Connected Learning, and Early Learning. Each collaboratory is intended to be of direct value to those involved, while also guiding the Hub in its work. Collaboratory meetings occur approximately quarterly. The STEM Hub's Leadership Advisory Council also provides guidance to Hub initiatives and strategic plan and meets approximately biannually.

• Empowered Educators Collaboratory: A cross-section of educators and administrators from our 5-county Oregon region who work in general education (PreK-elementary) and STEM (middle/HS). The long-term outcome is to empower and equip educators who are confident in teaching STEM and engaging all learners, especially those underrepresented in STEM.

​

• Career Partners Collaboratory: A group of leaders around CCL and work-based learning (WBL) in their county or a broader region within the Gorge. The long-term outcome is for all youth in the Gorge to be aware of the manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and construction careers in the region and beyond, and understand the pathways to pursue them.

​

• Connected Community Collaboratory: Leaders focused on out-of-school learning that includes or focuses on STEM. The long-term outcome is for Gorge community members and families to view STEM skills as important for their children's success, and they encourage engagement in STEM opportunities.

​

• Early Learning Advisory Collaboratory: A cross-section of educators, parents and community organizations from across 5-county region that focuses on Early Learning. The long-term outcome is to develop a community of practice for educators, parents and organizations, as well as facilitate an Early Learning Regional Summit. *
