Take Action: Interlocking STEM & PBIS to support strengths based interventions
Presentation Abstract
The presentation will illustrate how educators can use STEM based projects to encourage intrinsic growth for students and positive behavior in the school environment. As STEM promotes critical thinking amongst students it will also engrain problem-solving skills in managing their behavior. As students take on a more active role in their personal development, teachers and administrators will be able to break down data entry as it relates to the “Big 7” in efforts to reduce school discipline data. In addition to the consistent exposure of STEM it will hopefully ignite a passion for it and possible pursuit of a career in a STEM field for students.
