1) STEM is more than just a grouping of subject areas. It is a movement to develop the deep mathematical and scientific underpinnings students need to be competitive in the 21st century workforce.
2) The EDP (Engineering Design Process0 provides a flexible process that takes students from identifying a problem-or a design challenge- to creating and developing a solution
3) STEM classes, by contrast, always provide opportunity for multiple right answers and approaches.
4) Plan to collaborate with other math/ and or science teachers to gain insight into how course objectives can be interwoven in a given lesson.
5) (In STEM classes) the students work is hands on, collaborative and decisions about solutions are student-generated.

2)The acronym STEM has since been adopted by numerous programs at national, state, and local levels, and within scientific communities as it is an important focus for edu- cational reform and renewed global competitiveness for the United States.
3)the general call for more scientists and engineers is not supported by workforce and educational data but rather needs to be more focused in specific STEM areas of need or underrepresented student groups.
4)It appears that people do not have an interdisciplinary understanding of STEM
5)STEM is about creating better teachers, students, and workforce in order for the United States to better compete globally.]]> 2019-02-05 19:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/athompson3214/9i675epi9kyr/wish/327975969 athompson3214 https://padlet.com/athompson3214/9i675epi9kyr/wish/327976151 1)Over the last 25 years, the landscape of K–12 classrooms has significantly changed to include a focus on literacy rather than mastery of declarative subject knowledge
2)One of the elements of a signature pedagogy is a surface structure that in- cludes specific and discernible acts of teaching and learning
3)Within inquiry-based instruction, these emanate from the belief that students are curious as a function of being human.
4)While inquiry-based instruction has a rich history, empirical support for its use has been lacking and in some cases contradictory
5)STEM education needs to prepare stu- dents to meet the demands of a globalized, knowledge-based world by leveraging available 21st century communication technologies]]> 2019-02-05 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/athompson3214/9i675epi9kyr/wish/327976151
