Mike Lundberg - HV Innovation Science and Math

STEAM education is about shifting learning from consumption to creation.

Seeking to help students take control of their future through making.

STEAM programming promotes the interdisciplinary, hands-on application of learning.

It provides thinking routines to students to help them solve problems, and see failure as a learning opportunity.

Innovation math and science emphasizes 21st Century Skills: collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.

STEAM LEARNER OUTCOMES● Creativity: I can...generate creative ideas that demonstrate flexible, outside the box thinking.

● Observe, Question, Explore, Explain: I can...engage in close observation, generate questions, explore possible

answers, and support arguments with evidence.

● Collaboration: I can...effectively collaborate with peers and positively build off of the ideas of others.

● Using Feedback: I can...seek out and use critical or negative feedback to improve a prototype.

● Empathy: I can...define a problem with understanding of how those most impacted by it actually experience it

● Analyzing Data: I can...gather, analyze and make sense of data.

● Perseverance: I can...remain engaged and persistent when experiencing struggle or failure.

● Creation and Presentation: I can...create a finalized product and present it to an authentic audience.

● Reflection: I can...accurately reflect on what I’ve learned, and how I went about learning it.

Highview Student Portfolios

Each student at Highview will create a portfolio that showcases their progress toward one of nine STEAM learner outcomes.
