Professional Educators Diploma in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM)
The Professional Educator Diploma in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) Education is centered on the interdisciplinary approach to student learning where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real-world lessons. Implementing problem-based learning forces students to apply science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, and work.
The educational goal is to enable educators the development of STEM literacy and, with it, students’ ability to innovate and become leaders of tomorrow’s industry.
Learning Outcomes for the STEAM Diploma
- Demonstrate understanding of how students learn mathematics and science.
- Identify how art is integrated into STEM.
- Demonstrate understanding of how technology is integrated into STEAM and how it enhances student learning.
- Unpack the concept of STEAM integration into its different formats: multi-inter- transdisciplinary approaches and accordingly develop interdisciplinary projects.
- Use alternative assessment in conjunction with traditional assessment methods.
- Identify and explain the role of engineering in STEAM and how to utilize the engineering design process.
