EDC-6871: Principles of STEAM

What does it mean to teach and engage our students in our modern world? How might we use principles of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) to engage all students? How can we design and implement STEAM education and design thinking strategies building on our professional priorities (ie. the Critical Skills Classroom, nature based education, arts integration, etc.) as well as developmentally appropriate pedagogy? How do we help our students develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to situate them to be competitive in school, and later in their careers? How can we provide students with learning experiences that tap into their interests and passions? How can we use technology to support student learning? What’s the difference between STEM, STEAM, and STREAM? These questions will be explored in this online course designed to deepen understanding and inspire teachers to a new level of practice. Along with examining current trends, literature, and resources in this field, participants will design powerful learning experiences for these classrooms as well as formative and summative assessments. Students will work both on their own and collaboratively to explore and learn about these various topics for practical classroom implementation. Focus will also be given to modern tools to support STEAM learning in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Online Course.
