Course Description
We believe that the application of STEM in the classroom can transcend beyond learning science and math facts. As we continue to embed STEM curriculum into classroom settings, we provide students opportunities to learn innovative, cutting-edge skills. STEM has multifaceted benefits in encouraging students to question the world around them, process what they learn, collaborate well with others, and communicate with peers and adults alike. With focus on inclusionary, equitable, strength-based planning using UDL, participants will practice by choosing, adapting, self-reflecting and completing the course assignments. Using these strategies, educators learn to develop dynamic, essential lesson plans intrinsically linked with STEM in the classroom. We welcome you to this journey of learning more about bringing STEM and Inclusionary Practices into your classroom!Course Objectives
● The participant will understand concepts and practical applications of UDL and inclusive strategies for the classroom embedded within the STEM curriculum.
● The participant will engage with the Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core State Standards for Math, Science and Engineering Practices, Computer Science Standards, and Educational Technology Standards for use in the classroom setting.
● The participants will be introduced to several technologies for use in their classrooms to engage and empower diverse learning styles. (Ozobot, Sphero, FlipGrid, Scratch, Code.org, and Microsoft Educator Center) (Standard 1: Understanding Self and Others)
● The participant will understand historical and current cultural inequity in career connections with STEM and reflect on the importance of inclusive STEM education. (Standard 4: Leading for Educational Equity)
● The participant will learn about and engage with a Project Based Learning Unit as a means of Integrating STEM, UDL and collaboration concepts within a school and community (Standard 1: Understanding Self and Others)
