Each school has a different vision of STEM education as it is largely dependent on the perspective of the in-house teachers, their understanding and integration of the methodologies, community engagement, and the intervention from the higher school authorities. While it is alright to explore, consider and implement the curriculum and STEM vision of other school districts, it is imperative that your school shares a singular vision of STEM education. A shared vision not only helps in the long-term sustenance of the program but also helps the teachers to contribute through their own unique experiences which further helps the students. <\/span><\/p>\n

Having a shared STEM Vision also helps teachers in identifying their personal areas of growth and learning that they would want to explore more in-depth. Small steps to improve STEM education and enable shared vision are:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• Add a STEM template to your lesson plans.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Include some aspects of dividing strategies to solve problems in classroom activities.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Invest time incorporating STEM in the lessons in alignment with the learning objective.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Help other teachers in realizing the STEM vision and discuss ways to improve the action plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  STEM in Society<\/span><\/h2>\n

  STEM Education plays a pivotal role in changing society as society is synonymous with the developing economy of a country. STEM Education not only helps in the intellectual, mental, and emotional growth of students, but lately, it is also the role of women in STEM that is leading towards better women empowerment and hence, better societies. The all-inclusive society reduces the stereotype gender and ethnic gap. Furthermore, it is producing more disciplined and smarter students. As per a study in the post of  Washington, America\u2019s public schools have had to suspend lesser students now as compared to a few years ago.  <\/span><\/p>\n

  STEM Beyond Curriculum<\/span><\/h2>\n

  Apart from the academic aspect, STEM education also helps in the holistic development of children. Research has shown that the students educated under STEM programs turn out to be more resourceful as they possess the ability to strategize and improvise life solutions. As the program engages students into exploring and learning by doing, students learn to make the best use of the available resources in a unique and effective manner as a side skill. Let\u2019s keep in mind that including STEM Curriculum, we are helping children learn a plethora of life skills in addition to academic skills, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • Problem-solving <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Collaboration<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Critical thinking<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Creativity<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Experimenting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Lastly, education cannot remain divorced from the real world and it would not be an understatement to say that education is the bridge between a child\u2019s early phase of learning and his adult life. An effective STEM program not only helps academically but also professionally, economically, and socially. A collaborative effort of the teachers, students, and parents can help in further developing STEM education and yielding better results.<\/span><\/p>\n
