In the face of complex local and global problems, there is a
critical need to prepare PK-12 students to be innovative, resilient
problem-solvers and well-equipped STEM-literate citizens. With
focus upon integrated content, college and career readiness,
authentic problems, and action-oriented pedagogies, integrative
STEM education provides a promising approach to address this
challenge. Integrative STEM programming with its fusion of science,
mathematics, engineering, and technology content and practices may
manifest in a variety of ways: Teachers co-plan an engineering
design experience within a social studies class. A community
business partner offers a job-shadowing experience. Students engage
in an after-school program at a makerspace. Educators
collaboratively re-envision and interweave STEM across the
curriculum. And more... Current and future educational leaders
striving to improve STEM programming will find this book to be a
useful resource. Its introduction offers an orientation to the
fundamental goals, principles, and practices of integrative STEM
education. While later chapters delve into the facets of STEM
programming and the competencies of STEM leadership which form the
foundation of a coherent program. These evidence-based strategies,
examples, and resources may provide inspiration to leaders as they
initiate and enhance an equitable integrative STEM culture within
their school.
