P-Teach: STEM Methods
Would you like to use the design thinking process to create lesson plans that engage students with technology?
The STEM Methods course is a framework-based class where students will develop a strong understanding of the STEM for All framework, focusing on integration, innovation, essential skills, personalization, adaptation and connection. This framework will support the development of a STEM mindset, and by learning these processes, students will create STEM-aligned lesson plans for any content or grade. Students will use these skills to plan and carry out their own STEM-aligned lessons.
This will transfer as an elective class.
For questions please email Melissa Dole.
Schedule: This course is offered every other year.
This course is concurrent enrollment with CU-Denver. Students earn 3 college credits upon successful completion of this course.
