Why?
1. To prepare students for greater college and
career readiness through early engagement in
a STEM-enriched curriculum.
2. To provide a locally/regionally defined and
structured curriculum for Engineering/
Technology Education.

= Sticking Point: A commonly known point within a given course of study where
students regularly experience difficulty with the subject matter.
= Curricular Crosslink: An occurrence in close time proximity where two or more
sticking points share a common theme between disciplines.

Enrichment Activities focus on discipline-specific sticking points and
draw supporting (enrichment) content from the other STEM disciplines.

Integrated STEM Lessons focus on the curricular crosslink’s between sticking
points that support a full integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics into a truly unified whole; that is,
STEM, not S+T+E+M.

Learner Activities
All plans of study should meet local and
state middle school and/or high school
graduation requirements and college
entrance requirements. Certain local
student organization activities are also
important including public speaking,
record keeping and work-based
experiences.
Information Technology Applications:
Students will use technology tools to
manage personal schedules and contact
information, create memos and notes,
prepare simple reports and other
business communications, manage
computer operations and file storage,
and use electronic mail, Internet
applications and GIS to communicate,
search for and access information.
Student will develop skills related to
word processing, database management
and spreadsheet applications.
All plans of study need to meet learners’
career goals with regard to required
degrees, licenses, certifications or
journey worker status. Certain local
student organization activities may also
be important to include.
