Students at Winfield City Schools have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their STEM learning through performance assessments while presenting their STEM learning to a range of stakeholders within and outside of the school. Clarifying, elaborating, and defending thoughts and conclusions are invaluable tools used to encourage resilience, which is needed in a 21st-century global citizen.

Students at WMS are presented with multiple opportunities to share and present their learning via various avenues. Through the use of the Schoology Learning Management System, students are taught and tasked to create presentations on various topics. Within those projects, students learn how to upload pictures, graphs, PowerPoints, Google Slides, Google Docs, Prezis, etc. to make their presentations both informative and entertaining. They are graded with rubrics and at times provided tests to their classmates covering information from the presentation. Additionally, students are encouraged to add traditional posters, skits, and song and dance to their technological presentations, helping them realize a balance of mediums used in what makes presentations beneficial for your audience.

Students enjoy the opportunity to use a variety of methods to express their ideas and hypotheses. Beginning in kindergarten, we help students find various ways to show what they know through journal entries, projects, and verbal explanations. Presentation of these ideas and projects are conducted to a range of stakeholders through many venues which include but are not limited to competitions, radio broadcasts, web pages, local newspapers, parent meetings, city meetings, and opportunities as simple as hallway presentations.
