What is STREAM?
The kids can tell you BEST!
Why STEM?• To Differentiate Blessed Sacrament School
in a competitive market.
• STEM is expected to be the fastest growing employment sector.
Why STREAM?STEM + Religion & Arts
• Catholic Identity• Highlight Special Programming• Include All Types of Learners• Academic Rigor
What does STREAM look like?● Doing vs. Knowing
● Student-centered vs. Teacher-centered
● Project/Problem Based vs. traditional
● Team vs. Individual (Students & Teachers)
● Network vs. School
Where do you begin? Create a Strategic Plan
Self Assessment – What are we already doing at our school? What resources do we have? What do we need?
Help Wanted! – Where can we see STEM in action?
Where do you begin? Administrative support Start a STEM Library/Webpage for collaboration Provide Professional Development for teachers Create a PLC (Professional Learning Community) Who are the teacher leaders in your school? Creative Scheduling (Teachers & Students) Identify community members who can help
What is the COST?
O BSS STREAM is done “on a shoestring” We highlight teaching approaches/curriculum that we had already adopted!
O There are “out of the box” curriculums, but they are expensive!
O BSS did not buy a curriculum, but we did already have a lab intensive science curriculum
