STEM19 | Next-Level-PBL: Changing Life Trajectories through a Culture of STEM (Room Booth 2149)

Join this interactive session to learn how the journey of two STEM magnet schools is fueled by the possibilities for changing life trajectories for their Title I student population. See how students are engaged in "Next-Level-PBL" as teachers use real-world problems to create a felt need for learning and application of content to the solutions students design. Learn how these schools are preparing students now to change the world in their STEM Learner-Active, Technology-Infused Classrooms through authentic problem-finding and solving, employing a design process, using transformational technology, and leveraging structures that support student-driven, personalized learning. Understand how those structures are building students' executive function skills and positioning them to tackle any challenge!
