About

There is need for access to high-quality instructional materials to support implementation of the NGSS standards. The STEM Materials Center (SMC) at ESD112 provides the core curriculum to hundreds of middle school teachers every year, and these materials are in need of adaptation to support student learning. It is not necessary to purchase new materials in order to implement the intent of the Framework for K-12 Science Education; this intent can be achieved by carefully adapting curriculum with the appropriate tools and well-trained teachers and other leaders.

The STEM Materials Cooperative website includes open educational resources to support several key areas of integrated STEM instruction. Elementary STEM Storylines, Middle School STEM Instructional Materials and Computer Science Integration lessons…and more to come in 2020 to support Career Connected Learning.
