Engineering byDesign™ Consortium Benefits

One of the standout benefits of joining the consortium is the access to a group of Teacher Effectiveness Coaches (TECs). These coaches provide high-quality, consistent professional development opportunities tailored to the specific needs of each state. This ensures that educators are not only well-trained but also continuously supported in their professional growth. Each state can also build their own network of TECs allowing them to scale professional development in a cost-effective manner.

Consortium members enjoy the privilege of unlimited distribution of PreK – 12^th Grade EbD/STEM materials within their state through our standard edition curricula. This means that every school, teacher, and student can benefit from high-quality content designed to engage and inspire. The flexibility to distribute these materials as defined by the Consortium State ensures that the resources can be tailored to meet each state’s needs and standards, promoting a more personalized and effective learning experience.

Membership in the consortium includes travel funds for the Consortium Director and a lead trainer to attend the ITEEA Annual Conference. This event is a hub for professional development, networking, and staying abreast of the latest trends and innovations in STEM education. The opportunity to participate in such a high-caliber event ensures that state leaders and educators are equipped with cutting-edge knowledge and skills.

Consortium states receive free comprehensive assistance in adopting and aligning standards. This support ensures that your educational framework is cohesive, current, and aligned with best practices. By partnering with us, states can streamline the integration of new standards, receive expert guidance, and access resources tailored to their specific needs. A $999 value!

Each state will receive 5 hours of complimentary virtual consulting in STEM, Engineering, and Technology Education. Our expert consultants are here to provide tailored guidance and support, helping you enhance and innovate your educational programs. A $645 value!

The consortium facilitates Strategic Initiatives Meetings, including the Fall Leadership Forum and the Annual ITEEA Conference. These meetings are invaluable for strategic planning, collaboration, and sharing best practices among states. They provide a platform for state leaders to come together, discuss challenges, and develop innovative solutions to advance STEM education.

Membership includes a limited number of EbD Network Schools, which benefit from online pre/post assessments, access to the EbD online professional learning community, and our Learning Management System (LMS).

Members benefit from discounted rates on access to the learning management system and specific Professional Learning byDesign opportunities based on need. Additionally, free EbD Labs for educators at the ITEEA conference enhance professional learning without additional costs. These workshops provide hands-on, practical training that educators can immediately apply in their classrooms.

The ITEEA STEM Center for Teaching & Learning confirms that the educational content meets national standards, providing consistent and high-quality learning experience across different schools and districts. This alignment helps ensure that all students, regardless of their location, receive an education that prepares them for future academic or career pursuits.
