Hi Rosalind
I am talking with STEMNET about building the natural environment and green
space STEM offer - working across the sector,with Natural England as a
champion. And we are of course very interested in how to evaulate the
programme, and to make sure that any evaluation we start dovetails with any
exisiting plans for STEM evaluation - for example if you are keen to
progress more coherence or consistency in the data captured.
Do you have any natural environment case studies in your sight/would it be
worth a telephone catch up?
kind regards
Anne

Subject: [PSCI-COM] The STEM Programme - Enrichment and Enhancement
Dear All,
I am posting this on behalf of the Enrichment and Enhancement Strategic
Management Group(the STEM E&E SMG), which includes the three lead
organisations - SCORE, ACME and RAEng - for the Enrichment and Enhancement
strands of the STEM programme
(http://www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk/stem-programme/stem-programme) and
STEMNET.
The STEM Programme exists to help make it easier for teachers and students
to understand better what support is available to them and how it may help
them meet their goals. The STEM Directories are an important part of the
overall programme, as is the concept of evaluation so that teachers and
others using STEM support are able to select the most appropriate assistance
for their needs.
The STEM Directories have been widely welcomed as a useful, comprehensive
resource by teachers, headteachers and others who use STEM support. The
opportunity to apply for inclusion in the STEM Directories is offered to all
STEM enhancement & enrichment providers, based on the requirements as
outlined on the STEM Directories website and within the application process.
The inclusion of a publicly available evaluation in these requirements from
September 2011 offers an excellent opportunity for providers of schemes to
demonstrate how their activity can benefit students and teachers. It will
also help others understand the importance of effective enhancement &
enrichment.
The STEM E&E SMG and the STEM Directories project team appreciate that there
is considerable variation in appropriateness of scale and approach to
evaluation across different types and size of activity. As a result, several
exemplar case studies of several evaluations have been prepared for
discussion at the BIG evaluation seminar events being held this year. The
exemplars will be reviewed in light of feedback gathered from colleagues at
the events, before being made freely available.
Best wishes,
Rosalind
SCORE Manager
