process.
Slide 16
Educational Activities Future Directions Build on our continued
effort to bring new STEM content into our classrooms Strengthen
teacher-to-teacher connections with Pueblo Central High School
teachers Strengthen teacher-to-teacher connections with Slovenia
School teachers Expand multi-teacher trans- disciplinary inquiry
and design projects that; Engage students in complex inquiry and
design problems that require integration of co-dependent knowledge
construction and fusion Teachers using content border- crossings to
connect content dots New STEM learning progression Additional
student assessment of newly learned STEM content
