WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

• STEAM• Science • Technology • Engineering• Arts • Mathematics

• PBL• Project Based Learning

STEAM REPRESENTS A PARADIGM SHIFT FROM TRADITIONAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY, BASED ON STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES, TO A MODERN IDEAL WHICH FOCUSES ON VALUING THE LEARNING PROCESS AS MUCH AS THE RESULTS. IN ESSENCE, WE DARE OUR STUDENTS TO BE WRONG, TO TRY MULTIPLE IDEAS, LISTEN TO ALTERNATE OPINIONS AND CREATE A KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT IS APPLICABLE TO REAL LIFE AS OPPOSED TO SIMPLY AN EXAM.DERON CAMERONFORMER UPES PRINCIPAL – US'S 1ST STEAM CERTIFIED SCHOOLCURRENT TCSS CURRICULUM COORDINATOR
