STEAM Career Exploration in Middle School

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

By 8th grade, 50% of students have decided that STEM is not part of their career path, and student engagement levels start to plummet in middle school. Harvard tells us the reason engagement suffers is because students don’t see the career connection within the content they’re being taught. Learn how to provide STEAM career context in a blended classroom with curriculum that is 70% hands-on and works for all 7 learning styles. You’ll discover how a rotational learning model stretches PBL dollars, mimics a job site and develops critical soft skills students need to succeed on their postsecondary paths.
