Standard 2: STEM educators collaborate to develop, implement, and improve high quality STEM learning activities
Concept 1: STEM educators and leaders have formal, protected time scheduled on a regular and frequent basis to plan, revise, and improve STEM learning experiences and pedagogical best practices.
Concept 2: Collaborative time for STEM staff and leadership is structured using a research-based model for effective educator collaboration.
Carrollton High School has several opportunities for teachers to plan and collaborate to develop high quality STEM learning experiences. Our formal, scheduled opportunities include:
- Monthly Study Groups
- STEM Interdisciplinary Team Meetings
Other Collaboration Opportunities
Our school also makes time for other collaboration times, but these tend to not follow a monthly meeting schedule. These include:
- Professional Development Days
- STEM Lunch & Learns
- CS4All Curriculum Planning Days
- Vertical Alignment Days
Informal Collaboration
Our school's faculty is always finding time to collaborate with each other informally as well. Sometimes, these meetings happen between classes or as we meet up during planning periods.
