Lafayette Elementary, San Francisco
As their school district moves towards adopting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the six member, K-5th grade teacher team will pursue professional development to transform their science and math instruction to help students develop a design thinking mindset. The team will attend the Engineering is Elementary sessions provided by the Museum of Science in Boston, and plan a STEM retreat with their district’s science department and community-based science organizations to bring the NGSS to their classrooms. By working in a professional learning community to pilot the Engineering is Elementary curriculum, they aim to move from a traditional method of subject matter instruction to an integrated STEM approach.
