Start, focus, or extend your integrated STEM education journey with an authentic interdisciplinary perspective! In response to calls for active STEM learning that builds students' agency and sense of belonging, teachers and leaders are being encouraged more and more to equitably implement integrated STEM instruction. This practical guidebook is designed to help educators create integrated STEM learning experiences that are inclusive for all students and allows them to experience STEM as scientists, innovators, mathematicians, creators, engineers, and technology experts! Addressing the STEM status quo and promoting inclusiveness in STEM fields, the authors center their work around the Equity-Oriented Conceptual Framework for STEM Literacy, which provides high-quality integrated strategies to connect students&#8242; lived experiences to STEM learning. Simplifying STEMprovides a ground-breaking model of the four Integrated STEM Practices (ISPs) to ensure coherent and aligned teaching across disciplines through authentic opportunities to meaningfully engage students. Learn how to simplify STEM with these four equitable practices to inspire deep learning <ul> <li>Use critical and creative thinking to seek solutions</li> <li>Collaborate and use appropriate tools to engage in iterative design</li> <li>Communicate solutions based on evidence and data</li> <li>Recognize and use structures in real-world systems</li> </ul> Including a STEM planning guide as well as instructional strategies and assessments for standard alignment, this is an essential resource for any educator seeking to empower their students with meaningful STEM learning experiences. The book includes an online implementation toolkit to give educators opportunities for powerful professional development built on collaboration and connection.

Simplifying STEM [6-12]: Four Equitable Practices to Inspire Meaningful Learning (Corwin Mathematics Series)

STEAM education is crucial for preparing learners to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving world. Not every learner is going to pursue a STEAM-related career, but each and every learner needs to be challenged with opportunities to transfer what they are learning in mathematics and science instruction to seek solutions to the complex problems of today, and to meet our future world head on! In this Second Edition of Step Into STEAM, authors Sarah Bush and Kristin Cook guide and inspire PreK?5 educators through a seamless process of designing and implementing STEAM inquiries that align precisely to key mathematics and science content and practices?all while meeting the demands of guiding assessments. Going far beyond a collection of STEAM activities, this book shows educators, as well as school and district leaders, how to build a STEAM ecosystem that can measurably improve every learner?s mathematics and science achievement, as well as engagement, belonging, and interest. What truly sets this book apart is its masterful integration of problem-based inquiry as the foundation for STEAM instruction. This updated edition: Expands on the latest research in STEAM education across PreK-5 in various educational settings Incorporates strategies grounded in Universal Design for Learning to engage all learners Provides updated STEAM resources aligned to the Integrated STEM Practices Embeds actionable tips throughout each chapter that educators can implement immediately in addition to suggestions for ongoing learning and growth for all Offers an updated companion website with additional templates for brainstorming sessions or book studies, action plans, and checklists to help educators put their ideas into practice This is an essential guide for educators looking to implement STEAM education in their classrooms and beyond. Step Into STEAM provides a comprehensive roadmap for cultivating the creativity, problem-solving abilities, resilience, and empathy that will empower the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and global citizens. Make the most of your limited instructional time and become part of the Step Into STEAM journey!

Step Into STEAM, Grades PreK-5: Your Standards-Based Action Plan for Deepening Mathematics and Science Learning

Create meaningful and transformative K-5 STEAM learning experiences for each and every student Make the most of your limited instructional time and become part of the Step into STEAM movement! Seamlessly design and implement K-5 STEAM inquiries that align carefully to key mathematics and science content and practices and prepare elementary students for their bright futures. Taking an opposite approach to existing resources that provide collections of disjointed STEAM activities, this book empowers teachers and schools to build cohesive and sustainable STEAM infrastructures―grounded in grade-level standards and purposeful assessment―to deepen the mathematics and science learning of each and every student.
