This one-day workshop is for teachers who are interested in exploring ways to incorporate STEM practices into their classrooms. Participants will explore ways to incorporate NGSS Science and Engineering practices and move toward an inquiry-based approach that will help them shift their existing curriculum to align with the new Colorado 2020 Science Standards. Participants will be asked to be “learners” throughout the day to really understand the implications of providing more responsibility to learners through a STEM model, which will highlight student engagement, curiosity, and the joy of learning!.
