2013-2014 WRSD STEM Highlights • The majority of WRSD students, K-12 have now had exposure to STEM lessons. • All WRSD staff have had at least one STEM presentation and they have all had the opportunity to give input via a survey to identify what they know about STEM and what they need to bring it to their classroom. • “STEM Friday” is now a practice in several elementary classrooms. Stella Flack and Donna Anderson have led the way and serve as “go to” people at the elementary level. • As of 4/7/14, the majority of the goals in the WRSD STEM Action Plan have been met!
2013-2014 WRSD STEM Highlights Continued… • WRHS has continued to participate in the NH Bridge Building Competition. • Project based assessments are being combined with STEM in Math, Science, and Technology Education classes and examples can be found K-12. • Several WRMS staff members have gone to visit other schools to learn how they are incorporating STEM into their classes. • WRMS has now offered several STEM options through enrichment activities and expanded science and technology curriculum as a result of teacher collaboration and growing STEM team members. • STEM has the support of all district Administration and there is ongoing work regarding funding and leadership stipends.
