EDST 609 STEAM Education Mentorship I

This course promotes the partnership of candidates with district-based advisors and university mentors as candidates plan a STEAM project based upon the premise that the relationship between theory and practice is integral to success. It prioritizes educator needs based on best practices and student needs, links data and practice to professional teaching and leading standards, and utilizes questions to promote reflective thinking and move practice forward. This requirement is an essential component of the Sixth Year Degree program. Candidates will then implement the project previously planned and present their results while preparing for the dissemination of information to the wider educational community.
