This comprehensive partnership will engage key stakeholders to create a shared STEAM vision, develop educators and administrators, cultivate inquiry-based, transdisciplinary instruction and prepare our future workforce. The focus of year one is to develop high quality STEAM experiences. Its primary goal is to foster a community of stakeholders sharing a common language, knowledge, understanding and vision for STEAM education and to ignite community engagement around this cultural change.

Please click this link to watch the MNPS STEAM Initiative. I provided groups with one sheet of blank paper and 2 markers. A member from each group was selected to empty their pockets or purse with all of their loose coins.
After the activity, I debriefed the STEAM Challenge by asking participants to make connections to how they used the 4Cs to complete the challenge and how could I, as the facilitator, use this activity to assess their understanding of the district’s initiative and their application of the 4Cs. This connection helped lead into the day's learning.]]> 2018-01-25 06:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dolajuwon1/yisdbck24p80/wish/224521243 Day IV: Assessing Student Progress Through STEAM PD- 01/22/2018 dolajuwon1 https://padlet.com/dolajuwon1/yisdbck24p80/wish/224602098 STEAM innovators and teachers used the Tuning Protocol to examine student work. Ms. Roberts, a math teacher and STEAM innovator, brought a student work sample that came from a STEAM lesson she implemented in her class. In a circle of four “critical friends", I guided the group through the process and kept time. Ms. Roberts, the presenter, described the context for the student work uninterrupted by questions or comments from participants. She began with a framing question which she welcomed feedback. The "critical friends" had time to examine the student work and ask her clarifying questions. Then, with Ms. Roberts listening but silent, participants offered warm and cool feedback - both supportive and challenging. After this feedback was offered, Ms. Roberts had the opportunity, again uninterrupted, to reflect on the feedback and address any comments or questions she chose. Time was reserved for debriefing the experience. Awesome display of communication, collaboration, and critical thinking!]]> 2018-01-25 12:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dolajuwon1/yisdbck24p80/wish/224602098 STEAMing Volcanoes in Ms. Wood's Science Class- 01/11/2018 dolajuwon1 https://padlet.com/dolajuwon1/yisdbck24p80/wish/224906214 Students in Ms. Wood's class were engaged in a project that helped them learn about chemical reactions and what happened when a volcano erupted. After creating the cone and foundation of a volcano (from 01/10/2018), students added detergent (which helped trap the bubbles produced by the reaction so they got better lava), baking soda, and vinegar towitness an eruption. Ms. Woods added the scientific method to the project by having her students make hypotheses, predictions, and inferences.

The padlet provides engaging and hands-on opportunities to help you review for the test. Furthermore, you can use these strategies to meet other instructional needs. Some of the strategies are digital and some of them are not. Click on the link below to check out the padlet and I hope that you will find these strategies beneficial for your instruction.
