Abstract for the conference program
This session reports on the progress of an interdisciplinary STEM learning community at one high poverty high school. This collaborative model of school improvement demonstrates the impact of STEM on developing school leaders, improving instruction and learning, and providing experiences that promote STEM visions for non-traditional students. Two projects will be highlighted: a year-long interdisciplinary lesson study in STEM and an outreach technology program. Attendees will participate in roundtables focusing on university-school STEM partnership and teacher leadership, interdisciplinary lesson study, and technology.
