STEM Recognition for
Teachers
November 12, 2014
TWO Types of STEM Recognition
1) Coweta County STEM Certification:
ECHS had many STEM Certified Teachers honored at the STEM Symposium in Spring 2014. We earned the Highest GOLD Award for having such great participation among our faculty!
2) Georgia STEM Laureate Program: This is a NEW program established by the Georgia DOE.
Because of this program, we have a COWETA STEM Laureate Program which has exactly the same requirements as the Georgia STEM Laureate Program. SO - if you participate in STEM Laureate, you will be submitting the same work for both Coweta County and the state of Georgia.
Coweta County STEM Recognition
1) Include an element of STEM in the lesson.
2) Address a real-life problem.
3) Students CREATE or DESIGN something using Engineering Design Process
Ex.:Engineer a bridge, boat, paper airplane,...-Posters & PowerPoints are not highly creative or high-tech activities.
