About
the STEM Leadership Consortium
The AASA-JASON partnership benefits a diverse
range of students, uses the latest technology to bring experts from throughout
the world to our classrooms. It also provides districts with lesson plans,
assessments, and comprehensive professional development programs. In addition,
the Superintendent will be a part of AASA’s STEM Leadership Consortium. The
purpose of the consortium is to develop and support a cadre of STEM focused
superintendents who understand the complexity of school culture and the urgency
of increasing student interest in STEM fields. Consortium members meet two times
annually:
Pre-conference session at AASA’s
National Conference on Education
STEM Consortium Convening
STEM Leadership Certification

Lead
Faculty - Dr. Rodney Watson
Dr. Watson became Superintendent of the Spring
Independent School District in July 2014. Spring ISD serves more than 35,000
prekindergarten through 12th grade students in a diverse and growing district
located 20 miles north of downtown Houston in an urban area of Harris County.
Watson moved quickly upon his arrival to
launch a community-wide effort to develop Spring ISD’s five-year strategic
plan, Every Child 2020. The strategic planning process fostered new bonds
between the district and the community, with Watson and his team enlisting the
direct participation of more than 1,000 internal and external stakeholders to
construct a plan that could support the district for years to come.
