STEM Challenges and Advantages

Part 1: Template

Research classroom management and engagement strategies, specific to a project-based classroom, that work to create a positive and supportive learning environment.

For this assignment, utilize the “Class Profile” resource as a sample classroom in order to complete the “STEM Challenges and Solutions” template.  

The template should include:

• Grade level
• Brief 50-100 word description of STEM learning activity
• Three examples of engagement strategies specific in a project-based STEM classroom that promote a climate of openness, respect, support, and inquiry.
• Three potential classroom management challenges in a project-based STEM classroom.
• Three possible solutions to the classroom management challenges.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250 words, summarize and reflect on what classroom management looks like in a project-based STEM classroom. How can you create a learning environment that fosters learning, engagement, exploration, and inquiry? Explain your process of managing a classroom and engaging students in order to meet the diverse needs of students represented in the “Class Profile.” Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
