Understanding and Implementing STEM Principles In Your

Classroom
Learning Goal 1: Identify STEM principles
Type of learning: Intellectual skill

Define and
Review
what STEM
means.

Discuss the
reasons
needed for
STEM
guiding
principles.

Explain
guiding
principle
number
three:
Emphasis
twenty-first
century

Explain
guiding
principle
number
one: Focus
on
Integration.

Explain
guiding
principle
number
four:
Challenge
your
students.

Explain
guiding
principle
number
five: Mix it
up.

Learning Goal 2: Identify a STEMified lesson plan.

Type of learning: Intellectual skill

Define what a
STEMified
Lesson is: A
STEMified
lesson is when
you take your
already created
lesson plan and
add the STEM
principles into
the lesson in
order to make it
a stronger
lesson.

Review what
the STEM
principles are
from lesson/
objective
number 1 to
ensure the
student (target
audience) have
a grasp on
STEM.

Does the student

understand the
STEM principles?

No

Review what
the STEM
principles are
from lesson/
objective
number 1
further so that
student (target
audience) will
be prepared for
the next step in
the process.

Yes

Show examples
of STEMified
lesson plans
and point out
the principles
that make each
lesson
STEMified.

Look at lesson
plans
independently
to determine
whether or not
the plans are
STEMified or
not to assess
