Beskrivning

In this book, the authors integrate STEM (i.e., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts and the cultivation of young minds in order to be open to innovation. This book uses STEM instruction as blurring the lines among basic subject areas. Often, it’s more than integrating science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Ideas, activities, and projects can be integrated with lessons from the language arts to the Arts as well. In this book, STEM is treated as more of a philosophy than a program or a set of activities.

With deep respect for the unique relationship between teachers and their students, Dennis Adams and Mary Hamm navigate the classroom of the future, where, in collaboration, learners question, analyze, interpret, and discover. While the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math are essential in understanding the world today, spontaneity, risk, and imagination are key to innovation and creativity. In Imagine, Inquire, and Create: A STEM-Inspired Approach to Cross-Curricular Teaching, Adams and Hamm collaborate to create innovative curricula, and teaching practices for an evolving classroom.
