STEM in Special Education Content

The video and article will provide you with ideas for incorporating STEM activities into your special education or general education classroom to support students with IEP goals. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.

Quiz

You will answer questions related to STEM and IEPs. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.

Implementation Reflection

The reflection prompt requires you to plan to use the "try this task" by either reflecting on the content yourself or discussing it with a colleague. You will then discuss a new concept you can attempt to implement in the future based on something you learned in the course.

Considerations for Implementation

This short statement helps you reflect on your ideas and assess whether you might be successful in your implementation.
