On March 27th the
School 7 STEAM team presented at the 2015 New Jersey Middle School Educators
Annual Conference held at William Paterson University. Over 250 middle school teachers and
administrators attended this statewide conference.
The presentation, “STEAM and
the Common Core: A
Transdisciplinary Approach”, showcased the work that has been accomplished in
the school over the past three years under the auspices of the WPU/Geraldine R.
Dodge Foundation STEAM grant. Emphasis
was placed upon how the work, which stresses critical-thinking,
problem-solving, and analytical skills, is linked to the Common Core State
Standards.
