STEM Standards and Instruction
“If America is to maintain our high standard of living, we must continue to
innovate. We are competing with nations many times our size. We don't have a
single brain to waste. Math and science are the engines of innovation. With
these engines we can lead the world. We must demystify math and science so that
all students feel the joy that follows understanding.”
–Dr. Michael Brown, Nobel Prize Laureate |
| STEM Education provides a venue for the transformation of teaching and
learning by integrating content and the skills of science, technology,
engineering and mathematics. Engaging students in 21st century practices through
inquiry, critical thinking and reasoning, collaboration, invention, and
information literacy through STEM education directly impacts their ability to
succeed by mastering and transferring concepts within STEM disciplines and
across all content areas.
Content Connections
Content Connection Samples

of cross-content
(multi-disciplinary) connections
within the Colorado Academic
Standards at grades kindergarten
