Stohlmann, Micah; Moore, Tamara J.; McClelland, J.; Roehrig, Gillian H.
Middle School Journal (J3), v43 n1 p32-40 Sep 2011
This article describes the experiences of one Minnesota middle school that implemented a year-long integrated STEM program with the cooperation of graduate student fellows from a local university. The authors, two of whom were among the graduate students involved in the project, describe their impressions of the program, share some lessons they and their school-based partners learned along the way, and offer some implications and recommendations for other schools considering STEM programs. (Contains 4 figures.)
