STEM is simply good education
STEM: the main ascending axis in education that supports knowledge, innovation, and student success.
STEM is a delivery system for education, drawing on the strengths of scientific methods and technology to help students improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills using a systems approach.
STEM is a holistic or transdisciplinary approach that weaves together all school subjects in order to better understand a relevant issue and develop solutions to associated problems.
STEM is content, it is a delivery system, and it is a transdisciplinary approach, making STEM much larger than simply the sum of its parts.
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. However, STEM refers to far more than these four content areas.
STEM is rooted in critical thinking and problem-solving. It is a systematic approach to learning that results in multiple, creative solutions.

The aspiration of educators is to deliver rigorous and relevant knowledge through engaging methods or pedagogy.
![Page 14: Ac and dg stemx2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5557c051d8b42a696c8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using a TPBL instructional strategy embedded in a cultural relevance that resonates with community and geography, students undertake problems that mean something to them.
![Page 15: Ac and dg stemx2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5557c051d8b42a696c8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SDIL teachers are learning facilitators. Students become critical thinkers, collaborative and self-reliant problem-solvers tackling real world issues, through a systems approach.
![Page 16: Ac and dg stemx2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5557c051d8b42a696c8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TPBL projects link learning to life and are holistic in their design. Whether building a home for your community or a better cow, or a butterfly garden, these projects prepare students for navigating the real world.
![Page 17: Ac and dg stemx2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5557c051d8b42a696c8b53a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STEM TPBL projects are readily aligned to all educational standards including Common Core, Next Gen Science, and Oceti Sakowin.
