Many schools across our state facilitate quality STEM instruction; maximizing community partnerships and driving opportunities for students, developing the skills necessary for future success. The N.C. Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) want to recognize each and every school that exemplifies the qualities associated with STEM success. The STEM Recognition Program provides elementary, middle, and high schools an opportunity to submit an application for review describing their schools' distinguished strategies in teaching and learning through the implementation of the Five Overarching Principles as defined in the STEM Schools Progress Rubric. The STEM School Progress Rubric serves as an incredible tool for self-assessment and school improvement and is the key to achievement for STEM schools in North Carolina. NCDPI is requesting that schools planning to apply for potential STEM Recognition to fill out the following Intent to ensure you receive information about the application, timeline, and resources which will provide assistance in this process. The Intent to Apply is due by this Friday (Oct. 9) and only takes a few minutes to complete. For more information and questions, contact Howard Ginsburg.
Please enjoy your e-Update. Tweet us @NCSTEM with any questions or feedback. |
