To build the content in the Handbook, Johnson and her co-editors solicited proposals from teams around the world and received more than 200 proposals. “Exemplary STEM programs and schools are designed in this way and we wanted to learn more about how the integration of STEM disciplines impacted how we teach, how students learn and how leaders make decisions on policy investments.” “Those who know about STEM education know the power is really in the integration and connections across the disciplines,” Johnson said. The chapters are built around six themes that represent the most pressing areas of growth and investment in the field - the nature of STEM, STEM learning, critical issues in STEM, STEM teacher education, STEM policy and reform and STEM pedagogy, curriculum and assessment. Rather than focusing on individual disciplinary research, the Handbook focuses on the integration of the STEM disciplines - science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The timing was right to conceptualize and propose the first handbook that would synthesize all that we have learned in the area of STEM education,” Johnson said. “The field has grown significantly and research has been emerging on what works in STEM education. The book, Johnson said, serves as an anchor of current STEM education knowledge that can be used by researchers and practitioners to inform future research and advances in STEM. The Handbook of Research on STEM Education is the first publication of its kind in the STEM field and is a collection of the most relevant and imperative topics permeating the field around the world.
Drawing on her extensive work in the field, Johnson recently served as the lead editor on the newly released Handbook of Research on STEM Education. We continue the example set for us by our predecessors who loved history and cared about preserving the cultural and architectural heritage of Oxford and Lafayette County.Carla Johnson, Ed.D., professor of science education at the NC State College of Education and NC State University Office of Research and Innovation Faculty Research Fellow, has spent more than a decade focusing on the impacts of investments in STEM education. We are very fortunate to number among our members a varied group of outstanding women who come from different places in the country, different professions, and different interests. Membership in the Guild is by invitation only and is limited to 50 members at any given time.
Not a book club or a study club, Cedar Oaks Guild is a working organization whose primary mission is the preservation, support, and promotion of Cedar Oaks. The Guild, however, is a different organization from any one of its predecessors. It has taken elements and traditions from each of its predecessors to form its new identity. The Guild is very proud of its heritage from these three clubs which date back to 1948.
A third club, which was also involved, disbanded in 1963. COG was formed by the merger of two of the original clubs that were responsible for saving Cedar Oaks from destruction in 1963. The name was officially changed from Oxford-Lafayette Historic Homes in April, 2013, upon the Guild’s request to the Mississippi Secretary of State. Cedar Oaks Guild was formed in the summer of 2011.
