Abstract for the conference program
In this workshop of “How to Take STEM from activities to Interdisciplinary and PBL instruction”, objectives are to provide the audience with the following: exemplars of interdisciplinary instruction; which will provide growth points for STEM instruction growth and development, the ability to decipher the difference between STEM activities, STEM PBL, and STEM Interdisciplinary instruction, and the ability to develop a PBL from the ground up using standards from multiple contents and interdisciplinary activities that can support a PBL. This presentation is designed to support K-5 teachers, K-5 administrators, district level leaders, and change agents in education. This workshop aligns with the desires of this conference because the focus is on progressing STEM instruction from activities to PBL’s and interdisciplinary instruction. In discussing PBL’s and interdisciplinary instruction, we will address the development of curriculum (utilizing state standards) to support both PBL’s and interdisciplinary instruction, student learning and outcomes, authentic learning, collaborating across disciplines, and community partnerships. We will also share our professional experiences with the participants including and not limited to our struggles and our victories. By participating in this workshop, it is our hope that all attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to move from just doing STEM activities to engaging students in PBL’s and Interdisciplinary instruction via STEM.
