It can be completed anytime during the 8 weeks of the book study, but must be completed by the end of course.
There are four parts to this component: 1) identifying, developing, and sharing your plan for applying your learning, 2) implementing your plan, 3) reflecting on your implementation and sharing that with the cohort, 4) commenting on someone else’s plan or reflection.
Part 1
Plan and Post: How will you apply STEM in your professional context.
Using what you have learned about high-quality STEM instructional practices, identify a natural place where you can incorporate a STEM lesson or STEM pedagogy into your existing curriculum sometime during this 8 week course. If you are not a classroom teacher, consider how you can intentionally and authentically promote and inspire STEM pedagogy with teachers and/or students through your role.
Post an explanation of your plan. Be sure to include the context (grade-level and subject), particular content, etc. as well as enough information that it’s clear how your plan addresses the essential components of STEM.
Part 2
Apply: Put your plan into action.
Part 3
Reflect: After implementing your plan, share how it went by replying to your original post. Reflecting on your plan, what successes, challenges, and/or insights did you and/or your students encounter? What might you do differently next time?
