From Vision to Evidence: A Deep Dive into Ohio’s STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric and Ohio Quality Model – A Three Part Webinar Series with the Central OH STEM Hub

Join the PAST Foundation, the Central Ohio STEM Hub for the Ohio STEM Learning Network, as we embark on a three part webinar series to dive deeper into understanding the Ohio’s STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric and the Ohio Quality Model for STEM/STEAM Education. Participants will gain a better understanding of the expectations, interpret the rubric language, and can then build an internal improvement process that leads toward designation or redesignation.

This series will be organized into three parts:
Part 1: Understanding the Ohio STEM/STEAM Designation Rubric.
Part 2: Using the Ohio Quality Model for STEM/STEAM to strengthen practice.
Part 3: Turning evidence into a designation-ready action plan.

Who:
This series is best suited for principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, district STEM coordinators, curriculum directors, and school design teams. It will also be helpful for schools exploring first-time designation and those preparing for redesignation.

This three-part series will take place on Wednesdays from 4pm-5pm starting Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Once registered, you will receive a zoom link and calendar invitation to attend. You may choose to attend all three parts of the series but attending one or two is also acceptable for participants.
