Elementary STEAM Leaders is a collaborative program serving PK-8th grade teachers in the Portland Metro, Umpqua, Columbia Gorge, Greater Oregon and Frontier STEM Hubs. Elementary STEAM Leaders also provides opportunities for returning teachers to take on more leadership roles within our year long program.
This year PMSP is proud to support a cohort of 25 teachers, representing Portland Public Schools, Hillsboro and Beaverton School Districts.
A few topics we will be addressing this year include:
The Next Generation Science Standards
Strategies to support meaningful arts integration
How to “borrow” instructional minutes to teach STEAM (by addressing multiple content standards at once)
Designing student-centered learning experiences by using the 5E Instructional Model
The engineering design process
Supporting students to generate testable questions and define problems to solve
And more!
We are thrilled to welcome this fantastic cohort of new and returning teachers, and we celebrate them for their commitment to high quality STEAM education for their students!
