Preview STEM Road Map: A Framework for Integrated STEM Education
STEM ROAD MAP STEM Road Map: A Framework for Integrated STEM Education is the first resource to offer integrated STEM curricula encompassing the entire K-12 spectrum, with complete grade-level learning based on a spiraled approach to building concep- tual understanding. A team of over 30 STEM education professionals from across the US collaborated on the important work of mapping out the Common Core standards in mathematics and English/language arts, the Next Generation Science Standards performance expectations, and the Framework for 21st Century Learn- ing into a coordinated, integrated, STEM education curriculum map. The book is structured in three main parts—Conceptualizing STEM, STEM Curriculum Maps, and Building Capacity for STEM—designed to build com- mon understandings of integrated STEM, provide rich curriculum maps for imple- menting integrated STEM at the classroom level, and provide supports to enable systemic transformation to an integrated STEM approach. The STEM Road Map places the power into educators’ hands to implement integrated STEM learning within their classrooms without the need for extensive resources, making it a reality for all students.

A team of over 30 STEM education professionals from across the U.S. collaborated on the important work of mapping out the Common Core standards in mathematics and English/language arts, the Next Generation Science Standards performance objectives, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning (www.p21.org) into a coordinated, integrated, STEM education curriculum map. The purpose of this book is to make STEM for all students a reality. It makes an integrated STEM curriculum available that encompasses the entire K-12 spec- trum with complete grade-level learning based on a spiraled approach to build- ing conceptual understanding. The entire K-12 STEM Road Map is organized around five major STEM themes that include: Cause and Effect, Innovation and Progress, The Represented World, Sustainable Systems, and Optimizing the Human Experience. At each grade level, students will engage with a topic that was derived from the academic standards (e.g. Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards) that aligns with the selected theme. STEM Road Map: A Frame- work for Integrated STEM Education places the power into the educators’ hands to implement integrated STEM learning within their classrooms without the need for extensive resources. The book is structured in three main parts designed to build common under- standings of integrated STEM, provide rich curriculum maps for implementing integrated STEM at the classroom level, and supports to enable systemic trans- formation to an integrated STEM approach. The three corresponding parts are: Conceptualizing STEM, STEM Curriculum Maps, and Building Capacity for STEM.
