STEM Leadership

With funding and state and federal mandates to expand STEM education, school leaders require instructional leadership resources to bolster their school-level programs. This book will explain what school leaders can do to improve the quality of STEM education in their buildings and to help teachers improve STEM learning for their students. They claim leaders can achieve these goals by fostering equitable access to rich and rigorous learning, acting as instructional leaders, and building community engagement and partnerships. This ASCD Arias publication will explain: --Why STEM education is increasingly important today; --What leaders must do to support a STEM culture and rigorous STEM instruction in their schools; --Practical strategies that leaders can implement tomorrow; --How to develop instruction that fosters college and career readiness.
