As the second month of 2015 gets underway so does MRCR Education's continued commitment to STEAM Education. For the third year in a row MRCR Education had the pleasure to participate in the SF Bay Area STEAM Education Colloquium. This year marked the colloquium's fifth event, and it was a great success. It has become quite clear that STEAM education in the Bay Area has, not only taken root throughout the education community, but it has also sprouted the interest of local businesses, community leaders, and elected officials.
STEAM Education is now more than an academic program, it is the cornerstone for a future economic development in which public-private partnerships will play a crucial role. STEAM has also emerged as the bridge between the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as it can provide a wide range of possibilities for schools and their districts in the implementation of an interconnected multiple subject approach to curriculum development, lesson plans, and learning needs.
MRCR Education encourages you to learn and research more about STEAM education and how it can be implemented it into your classroom, school, and district. Throughout the month of February, as we have done in past years, MRCR Education will share thoughts and ideas on STEAM education and the benefits it can bring to learners, students, teachers, and all stakeholders in the education of future generations.
