Enhancing STEM Education: Implementing 21st Century Teaching in Elementary Classes

This event focuses on equipping teachers with strategies to create engaging STEM learning environments using inquiry-based and problem-solving approaches. Participants will learn STEM pedagogy, processes, and practices to develop and present STEM-centric lessons. They will explore how to implement STEM daily and plan STEM-centric units aligned with the 5E model. The event emphasizes cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and innovation among students through hands-on learning experiences and real-world problem-solving. Teachers will also be introduced to various STEM tools and resources to enhance classroom inquiry and engagement.

  7. Think STEM Discussion How early can students engage in STEM? How was STEM represented in this video?

  8. STEM Learning Environment I

  9. STEM Learning Environment II

  10. STEM Learning Experiences

  11. Stop, Think, Ask, Connect (STAC) S Stop during your STEM learning experiences to check for understanding and connect content. T Think about the content, practices and/or processes you will use or are using during your learning experiences. A Ask yourself and/or others questions to clarify expectations, to investigate global issues, or to solve real world problems or challenges. C Connect learning experiences to global issues, problems or challenges.

  12. STEM Pedagogy: How to Teach STEM

  13. Inquiry-based Learning http://www.teacherstryscience.org/ts/asking-good-questions

  14. Student-Centered Inquiry-Based Problem-Based Technology Tool Design Engineering Design Process Scientific Inquiry Standards for Mathematical Practices • Student as a • Critical Thinker • Brainstorming ideas • Use Imagination • Creative ideas • Innovative ideas • Collect and Analysis Information • Synthesis Information • Draw Conclusions • Student as a • Problem-Solver • Ask Questions • Design an Investigation • Seek Solutions to Problems • There are Many Possible Solutions to Solving Problems • Not all Solutions are Best Solutions • Student as a Technical Engineer • Multiple Tools and Resources are Useful for Exploring Problems • Multiple-ways to Create a Plan and Improve a Design A Classroom That Promotes Inquiry Inquiry Page. http://www.youthlearn.org/learning/teaching/techniques/asking-questions/asking-questions

  19. Scientific and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information A Framework for K-12 Science Education http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13165

  20. Standards of Mathematical Practices Making sense of problems and persevere in solving them Reason abstractly and quantitatively Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for and make use of structure Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning .
