Our Why

Why STEM?

• integrated content
• student centered learning opportunities that allow opportunities to explore and to solve real world problems 
• collaboration with peers
• development of skills to effectively work in teams
• development of critical thinking skills through the use of effective questioning 

McClure STEM Starters

Welcome to McClure Middle School's STEM Page.

Today we attended the STEM Academy at Kennesaw State University. Sally Creel welcomed over 200 teachers to the Academy, and challenged all of us to figure out our why. We then broke into three sessions that ranged from new technology, to managing a PBL classroom. It is always encouraging, and fun to be around excited, and motivated teachers. Here is a picture of our team today. Missing from the picture is Mrs. Travis.

The challenge going forward will be to meet as a team and clarify our "why" we should be teaching a STEM curriculum in our class. We will keep you posted.
