6A Expectations

During the 2013-14 school year we will be implementing a web-based resource called Defined

STEM in Academic Lab

*What is STEM?STEM is an acronym that stands for science, technology, engineering, and math.

*What is Defined STEM?Defined STEM is a web-based resource from Defined Learning, an educational company with roots in both media and

curriculum development. The Kyrene School District has purchased a subscription allowing access to this resource. Defined STEM is a project-based learning curriculum based around a career theme. It depicts real-world jobs and how science and math would be used in those jobs. It aligns with state standards, national standards, and the new Common Core standards.
