The United States no longer leads the world in innovations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In order to fully prepare our students for college and careers, literacy for productive citizenship and success in today’s world must include 21st century skills with a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Exploring creative ways to incorporate various literacies into instruction equips educators with the strategies and tools to create relevant, meaningful learning experiences within the context of math and English standards as required by Common Core. Geared to K-8 teachers, participants in this professional development workshop will understand how content literacy and STEM can be integrated to engage students in real-world problem solving and higher order thinking skills. This session incorporates hands-on experiences, collaborative problem-solving, and an integrated approach to STEM, scientific inquiry, and literacy skills.
