On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow: Enhancing Learning through STEAM Literacy and Mindful Wellness
Abstract
Wichita Falls ISD is ready to watch our military-connected students succeed in academics and physical wellness, equipping them for life as smarter, healthier individuals. Sheppard Elementary and West Foundation Elementary will engage students through challenging and fun learning activities that will build their STEAM proficiency as well as support their academic achievement in math. In-class tutoring will allow for two certified teachers to help facilitate student-led, small group instruction giving students the individual attention that is sometimes needed to help them be successful. While this is a STEAM Literacy focused grant, it will also provide time to focus on student physical and mindful wellness. This project will support a comprehensive system of enrichment activities, including but not limited to: after-school STEAM clubs, field trips, family learning nights, and 60 minutes of daily physical activity. Teachers will take time to teach students about their physical and mental well-being as well as their academic needs. Outcomes will be determined through passing scores on end-of-year assessments in math and Fitnessgram testing results. Wichita Falls ISD has set a goal of increasing each of these data points by 10% during the grant cycle. It is the goal of this project to help foster skill and confidence in students through STEAM learning and mindful health awareness.
