More STEM Certified Schools Named
The Dual Language Immersion Pilot Program is in its second year.
The Indiana Department of Education has named more schools throughout the state to receive science, technology, engineering and mathematics certification. The schools are chosen based on their "commitment to teaching the STEM disciplines" throughout the entire school.
The additional schools bring the state’s total number of STEM Certified Schools to 32.
The IDOE says these schools "exemplify a highly non-traditional approach to education, employing a great deal of inquiry, project based learning, community engagement, entrepreneurship, student centered classrooms, integration into humanities and related arts, and out of school STEM activities. STEM Certified Schools accomplish this while following educational policies set by the state and excelling under the system of accountability."
