STEM is not…
so much about content (student learning goals are derived
directly from our PA standards)
a particular place or thing (e.g. course, room, laboratory)
STEM is..
about the context of how we engage students in learning
experiences
about a culture of learning & student driven inquiry about rigor
, relevance and relationships in teaching and learning - 3 R’s
interconnected with the 4 C’s: creativity, critical thinking,
collaboration, and communication = STEM Skills
about career awareness in a global society

HSD Operational Definition for STEM Education
(Draft)
STEM education is an intentional,
transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning, in which students uncover and acquire cohesive knowledge, skills, and attitudes of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics that they transfer and apply to both academic and real-world contexts.
