STEM Curriculum Resources

The PA STEM Rubric 

The PA STEM Rubric aids districts in developing a vision of STEM that answers the question, "Why STEM?" The rubric is intended to be used by administrative leadership and a team of district staff who are integral to the formation and maintenance of the district's K-12 STEM curriculum and may include curriculum directors, educators, counselors, or others. 

By participating in the PA STEM Rubric visioning process, districts will gain a clearer picture of their STEM philosophy and their goals for K-12 integration of STEM with actionable steps to achieve their goals.

Teacher Kit for STEM Integration

This collection of documents is designed to help individual teachers or small groups of teachers (such as a team or content area department) self-evaluate their STEM integration and pursue a transdisciplinary model of STEM. Use the STEM Lesson Checklist to evaluate a lesson's alignment to the transdisciplinary model, find inspiration for improving that alignment in the Companion Resources document, and make a plan for bringing your vision of STEM to reality with the STEM Visioning Tool.
