Course Syllabus

The elementary science classroom has evolved tremendously over the years. It seems that most districts across the country are encouraging classroom teachers to implement more STEM/STEAM activities into their classrooms. This can be a very daunting task, even for the most seasoned educators. This course is designed to help you incorporate valuable and meaningful math, science and technology lessons and activities to your students. This class will give teachers the resources and background to get a better understanding of what STEM/STEAM is, and how to implement lessons effectively. Websites, apps, technology, literature and more will be shared among the class for everyone to use. This course is designed for grades K-6.
