Classroom Resources, Activities and Lesson Plans

When it comes to staying creative and making the most out of your classroom time, there are a number of resources to support your instruction.

How to make your classroom a STEAM classroom:

• Add hands-on projects to your students’ day to let them be more involved

• Include real-world problem-solving activities

• Encourage question-asking

• Let students make decisions about the projects they’re assigned

Making a lesson plan? Here’s a list to check the content and activities against to make sure they’re STEAM-approved:

• There’s a connection between the STEM and the arts/design content

• Both content areas are aligned and held to equal standards

• The lesson encourages inquiry, problem solving and process-based learning

• The arts content is being taught purposefully and as a way to enhance meaning

• You have one of the four 21^st century skills: collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication

• Students will apply skills or processes learned from previous instruction of both standards

• Both STEM and arts knowledge is assessed equitably
