Mrs. Mackay was extremely instrumental in implementing the STEAM PD at Buford High School for Fall and Spring Cohorts. Please see below to read what BHS teachers and administration had to say about the phenomenal work of Mrs. Mackay and the entire STEAM team!

“The STEAM team at Buford High School has led a cohort of teachers through STEAM training this fall. The 4 members of this group (Linda Mackay, Holly Craig, James West, and Juline Wieland) have worked hard and have shown what it takes to be true instructional leaders at BHS. They worked together to create content and deliver asynchronous STEAM p.d. through Google Classroom. We are so proud of their efforts and how they are helping our STEAM vision at BHS come true."

~BHS Administration Team

"The STEAM PD was very beneficial to me. It allowed me to look at the different elements one at a time so that I did not feel overwhelmed with too much stuff while working through the COVID crazy school year. I loved the FLIPGRID approach so that we could record our thought and see our classmates plans too. Sometimes my classmates videos gave me ideas of other things I could do in my own classes."

~BHS Teacher

"I was very happy with the way the class was run. I liked all the tools that I have picked up. Moreover, I loved the freedom of being able to work at my own pace and the support I have received through watching others' videos on Flipgrid."

~BHS Teacher

"This was an excellent course to help us learn more about how to incorporate STEAM into our classes.
