What’s the difference?
New vs. Renamed Is STEM really a new idea or are we
giving what we already do in our classrooms a new name?
YOU do this already and perhaps just don’t recognize it under this new acronym.
Concept-Based Units By using CBCUs to teach gifted students,
you are not chained to one discipline at a time.
Keep it global (BIG) i.e. Diversity, Influences, Balance
Add to your framework with interest based project opportunities
Project Based Learning Real world problem solving Creative Thinking Critical Thinking Higher Order Questioning Analytical Reasoning Cooperative and Collaborative Grouping Improved Communication Skills Intrinsic Gratification for Helping with World
Problems
“Makers” “ Makers are typically driven by their
curiosity for learning and creating new things, as well as by an interest in sharing their work and processes with others.”
AnnMarie Thomas in Engaging Students in the STEM Classroom through “Making”
How to plug into the world of STEM
Maker Faires and Mini-Maker Faires Project Based Learning Type III Driven Instruction Disney’s Imagineering Real World Problem Solving
Don’t Fret Yet All activities do not and should not be
projects. Have realistic expectations. You have a very limited time with your
students-just do what you can.
The Test of Time Challenge Practice
Ready Set Go
Who Won the Lottery?
What Now? Quick tips for limited amounts of time-
Minute-to-win-it challenges CPS for kids Legos and other “construction” activities
i.e. kinex, marble run, architectural and design kits
Exit Ticket On your exit ticket, please tell how you
feel about STEM now approaching it as a multidisciplinary idea as opposed to 4 disciplines.
How will you address STEM/ will you address STEM in your classroom after today?
