Middle School Journal, of the Association for Middle Level Education, published the STEM 2011 issue with a focus on STEM subjects. Included in this issue is an article authored by the research team of Micah Stohlmann, Tamara Moore, J. McClelland, and Gillian Roehrig from the STEM Education Center. The article, titled, “Impressions of a middle grades STEM integration program,” shares what educators learned from implementing an integrated STEM curriculum model in middle school.
Stohlmann and McClelland worked with a Midwestern middle school through their 3M Fellowship on a weekly basis. This article shares what was learned from the school’s effort to use Project Lead the Way as a model of STEM integration.
