Overview

Learning outcomes

The planned outcome of the STEM track is the ability to enable children to successfully meet the demands of the highly technological world in which they are growing up and will need to find jobs. This includes nurturing critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities by thinking/acting like scientists and engineers.

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the NYS Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Mathematics serve as a guide for course development and completion. This Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) specialization from State University of New York at New Paltz will NOT lead to certification as a STEM Education teacher.
