Lakeview teachers are trained in and implement various research-based instructional practices in STEM education, project-based learning, and inquiry learning. Students collaborate in groups, use various STEM equipment and supplies, and technology to explore, collect data, create, design, and revise their work.
The teachers at Lakeview engage in ongoing professional development that focuses on implementing an integrated STEM instructional approach. This training equips them to help students solve real-world problems through the engineering design process, project-based learning (PBL), and inquiry-based learning. Teachers learn to connect science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in meaningful ways, encouraging students to think critically, collaborate, and apply their knowledge in practical situations. This approach fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and a growth mindset, ensuring that students are well-prepared for future challenges in STEM fields and beyond.
The STEM instructional approach at Lakeview emphasizes solving real-world problems through project-based and inquiry-based learning. Teachers design units and lesson plans around actual challenges, allowing students to apply their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics knowledge to create projects around practical solutions.
The learning process culminates in student-created products, such as prototypes of wastewater models, digital printouts, or presentations that showcase the skills and knowledge they have acquired. This approach helps prepare students for future academic and career success by emphasizing critical thinking, collaboration, and the practical application of STEM concepts.
