The grant is designed to strengthen and expand STEM education opportunities for military-connected students in grades K-8 by providing job-embedded professional development through curriculum and instructional support, as well as in-class support for teachers in those grades. Creativity is the Key to STEMS is designed to provide students a better foundational understanding of math. Students will be offered opportunities to explore and engage in hands-on math and science activities designed to promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills at each of the elementary and middle schools in the Enterprise City Schools System. In addition, it will provide K-3 teachers an opportunity to learn how to integrate STEM into their core content areas by partnering with STEM Integration Specialists to plan and conduct lessons. The goal of this grant is to increase the mathematical proficiency of military-connected students, teach STEM habits of mind, such perseverance, teamwork, and collaboration, and to build teacher confidence and competency in STEM integration. We believe that these skills are essential for military-connected students to have in order to be successful in the workforce of tomorrow.
