Summary Excerpt Details

The following essay will introduce Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School in the International school focusing on the Primary and Middle Years Programme to encourage students to explore various projects. In this essay, the way one would use assessment criteria to promote STEM in the class with specific reference to an egg project the students are concluding is being discussed. Teachers can present a range of activities that integrate all aspects of STEM including testing and assessing the students through formative assessments being used regularly and consistently in the classroom. Students are able to reflect on their learning and teachers will know what instructional approaches worked positively in the classroom.
