STEM educators collaborate to develop, implement, and improve high quality STEM learning activities
Narrative
Our teachers collaborate in a continuous cycle to improve our STEAM focus and students' experiences. Our master schedule is specially designed for our teachers to have daily common planning with their team to strengthen internal partnerships for STEAM learning experiences. Additionally, our teachers collaborate monthly in content-focused Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). During their PLC days, they have focused time for STEAM planning. Teachers also collaborate in monthly grade level meetings and they participate in whole-faculty Kagan Cooperative Learning and Leader in Me training.
Standard 2, Concept 1: STEM educators and leaders have formal, protected time scheduled on a regular and frequent basis to plan, revise, and improve STEM learning experiences and pedagogical best practices.

The Leader in Me
2020 Begins with Leader in Me
We wanted our school to connect to other schools in our feeder pattern and schools across our county. We adopted Leader in Me to give us a platform to create a positive climate and culture in our school and support our STEAM programs.
