For schools interested in pursuing STEM or STEAM designation, understanding the expectations and opportunities outlined in the Ohio STEM and STEAM Designation Rubric is an important first step.
To support educators and school leaders across the state, the Ohio STEM Learning Network is partnering with regional STEM hubs to offer Deep Dive into STEM and STEAM Designation events throughout Ohio.
These informational sessions are designed to help participants better understand the rubric, learn about the designation process, and explore how the framework can support continuous improvement within their schools.
Deep Dive into STEM and STEAM Designation events will be hosted by regional STEM hubs throughout Ohio, making it easy to learn alongside colleagues in your area.
