Effective middle leaders have three key foundational qualities: they are clear about the compelling purpose that guides them as an educator, they empower and enable each member of their team to grow as professionals, and they have developed their capacity to strategically think and plan to achieve desired goals.

Schools often begin enacting STEM by introducing STEM clubs or activities at lunchtime or after school, having STEM specialist subjects and maker spaces, or even participating in STEM competitions. These approaches are all great ways to begin laying the groundwork for a sustainable STEM program. The challenge for many schools will be moving STEM from these groundwork laying activities to an authentic STEM program that delivers the desired outcomes.

In this webinar Adrian will outline the thinking and planning that schools will need to do if they are going to design a whole school STEM program that delivers. This includes discussing creating a design brief for a STEM program, mindset and capabilities planning, learning ladders, and mapping approaches. Templates for planning will be provided.

This is a perfect webinar for beginning as well as experienced STEM teachers.

Designed for Primary and Secondary School Teachers and Leaders.
