Curriculum and Methods: STEAM

Catalog description

This course will focus on Science and Technology to be analyzed and developed through Engineering and the Arts, with the knowledge that everything is based in elements of Mathematics. Participants will learn to develop, create, implement, and assess a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) program, lessons and units. A variety of frameworks will be reviewed and discussed to allow for easy replication of STEAM units and activities. Inquiry-based lessons for instruction and assessment will be explored to help gain a better understanding of possible classroom applications and projects. Educators will leave the course with a roadmap to better implement STEAM into their classroom, promote STEAM questioning, and develop STEAM PBL (Project Based Learning) units. This framework not only includes the art of aesthetics and design, but also the divisions of the liberal, language, musical, physical and manual arts.
