Januray 12, 2014 ITEEA Board member, Bob Claymier,
is offering an online elementary STEM course, Elementary Science and STEM: Integrating Elementary STEM
Activities Into the Elementary Science Curriculum.
The purpose of this course is to provide educators the
opportunity to understand and experience integration of STEM lessons into the pre-K–6 science curricula. Each of the course’s 10 sessions will require 2 hours
per week to complete. Sessions will include discussing
the benefits of developing STEM literacy in schoolage students; defining STEM; experiencing handson activities that serve as exemplars for integrating
STEM concepts with academic standards for science;
understanding how scientific inquiry and engineering design can guide implementing STEM projects in
elementary science lessons; and reviewing resources
for elementary STEM. As a final project, attendees will
develop their own integrated STEM lessons based on
a science concept standard they teach at their grade
level.
The course is available for either one semester of
college credit from Ashland (OH) University, or for
noncollege credit. Contact Bob Claymier at bob@
stemiselementary.com for information.
