Instructional Tips
Blended Learning: Station Rotation Model
A great way to become a true facilitator and introduce small group learning in your classroom.
Station Rotation — a course or subject in which students experience the Rotation model within a contained classroom or group of classrooms. The Station Rotation model differs from the Individual Rotation model because students rotate through all of the stations, not only those on their custom schedules.

STEAM House Hoodies!
Houses are an important part of the positive school culture developing at STEAM. The STEAM House experience includes healthy competition, camaraderie, support, and excitement for staff and students.
As a result, STEAM PTO is hosting a fundraiser providing students with the opportunity to purchase a House hoodie or t-shirt. Hoodies and t-shirts will be available in House colors or gray and will include the House name and STEAM logo on the front.
Please click below to order a STEAM House hoodie and/or t-shirt via online form. Orders must be completed and payments received by December 15. Upon completion of the online form, you will receive a confirmation email that includes the total monetary amount due and an order summary.
