Schools 2.0
How Does STEM Change the Schools We Need?

The past decade has seen a shift from school reform to innovation driven by the force of the social changes engendered by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) invention. Jim offers a conceptual framework to help school boards, teachers, students, and communities understand how STEM relates to social and educational change. Schools 2.0 focuses on the moral imperative we have to prepare all students for their future, rather than our past.

STEM, A Mandate for Classical Contemporary Education

In schools from primary to post secondary education, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice is emerging but widely varied in practice. The most compelling and potentially long-lasting implication of STEM is that many schools are transforming teaching and learning holistically across the disciplines. STEM, A Mandate for Classical Contemporary Education explores the relationship of STEM to the humanities, arts, physical, and career and technical education.
