How do you create an innovative and equitable classroom experience
that prepares elementary students for jobs that don't yet exist
while placing a critical focus on mathematics and science content
and practice standards-all while meeting the demands of high-stakes
testing? The answer to this question is Step into STEAM, which
provides a practical and accessible approach for educators to
create meaningful and transformative learning experiences for each
and every student. This book guides and inspires K-5 educators
through a seamless process of designing and implementing STEAM
inquiries that align carefully to key mathematics and science
content and practices. Taking an opposite approach to existing
resources that provide collections of disjointed STEAM activities,
this book empowers teachers and schools to build cohesive and
sustainable STEAM infrastructures-grounded in grade-level standards
and purposeful assessment-to deepen the mathematics and science
learning of each and every student. STEAM instruction is for each
and every student; STEAM instruction is about mathematics; and
STEAM instruction can and should be implemented for student success
and to engage students in making their community and our world a
better place. Loaded with resources to help K-5 teachers and
instructional leaders develop, implement, and assess meaningful
STEAM inquiries, this research-based book: Provides practical,
on-the-go resources to help busy teachers get started in creating
purpose-driven STEAM instruction Allows educators to interact
deeply with the content and create equitable STEAM experiences that
blend community and societal interests Includes online companion
printable resources to help educators jumpstart or deepen STEAM
learning throughout a school or district, supporting STEAM
professional development, professional learning communities, and
book studies Checklists, pictures, graphic organizers, reflection
questions, "Try it Out!" sections, and example STEAM inquiries help
teachers seamlessly connect multiple subject areas, create
transformative learning experiences, engage elementary students in
developing creativity and empathy, and enable students to solve
meaningful and authentic problems for others-all to prepare
students for their bright futures. Make the most of your limited
instructional time and become part of the Step into STEAM movement!
"Through carefully crafted research-based frameworks;
inspirational, authentic, and approachable practical strategies
rooted in the reform efforts of student-centered STEAM learning;
and opportunities for professional self-reflection, Step into STEAM
rightfully re-elevates educators to their proper places as
innovation experts and agents of change in their own classrooms,
schools, districts, and communities. An inspirational step in a
needed direction, this book from Drs. Bush and Cook is what
educators have been craving: a guide to transforming ourselves, our
learning spaces, and our profession." Richard Cox, Jr. Expert STEAM
Teacher Instructional Coach Bullitt County Public Schools "Step
into STEAM offers a rare opportunity for anyone concerned with
education to consider what learning would be like with equity,
empathy, and experience. By providing examples from teachers who
have dared to put children first, this book offers more than just
new way to teach, it offers hope for youth today. By considering
what youth will need to be successful in jobs that are not yet
created, Cook and Bush provide a platform for educators to create
authentic, real-world problem-solving in classrooms with attention
on the often forgotten about component of STEAM-the M! As a
proponent of STEAM education, my recommendation is to grab this
book and watch your students love learning again!" Cassie Quigley
