Students in the 21st century classroom need multiple opportunities to interact with content and their peers in meaningful and impactful ways. By utilizing academic discourse strategies, educators become facilitators of the curriculum while students increase ownership of their own learning. Join us Sept. 23 to learn more.
We appreciate these educators joining us for "NC STEM Schools of Distinction Rubric: Tool for School Improvement" in Cullowhee. During this three-day planning institute schools will review the overarching principles of the Rubric, consider what each principle means in the context of their individual school, assess the school’s readiness, draft a strategic plan and develop next steps for school improvement or to apply for the NC STEM Schools of Distinction. The institute will include whole group discussion to learn from best practices across the state and individual school team planning.
Fantastic work by these teachers during "Get Out: Using the Outside as your Main STEM Tool" in Cullowhee this week. They worked on taking the indoor classroom outside and bringing STEM to life. Hope to see them again soon!
CULLOWHEE - Take the indoor classroom outside and bring STEM to life. Using various tools such as GooseChase, Geocaching, iNaturalist, and others, learn to use the “outside” as your main STEM tool.
Great work going on at "Girls in STEM: Getting and Keeping Their Interest" in Ocracoke. Check some of it out at this FlipGrid they have created. Good job!
