In his new book, <i>What STEM Can Do for Your Classroom: </i><i>Improving Student Problem Solving, Collaboration, and Engagement, Grades K–6</i> he shares the why behind integrating STEM into elementary school curriculum and offers practical strategies for how to do it. <br> McKenna wrote this book to help fuel the passion teachers have, or at least had at one time, for their craft. “When you think about why teachers got into the profession, it’s not because they thought ‘I want to inspire more students to become engineers someday,’ explains McKenna. “They are more likely driven by those moment-to-moment classroom experiences they can create for their students. <i>What STEM Can Do for Your Classroom </i>offers specific examples and strategies to help them create those experiences.” <br> Elementary teachers can find in this resource the research that defines the importance of STEM, as well as a more personal why, which McKenna shares through his own transformative teaching experiences. McKenna hopes to supplement the great teaching already taking place in the classroom with field-tested STEM strategies for how to cultivate creativity and inspire authentic student collaboration and choice. <br> The book focuses on elementary school because research shows that students who engage with STEM at an early age are more open to trying the activities and tend to form positive opinions on their abilities in STEM subjects. This carries into secondary education, instilling confidence in students to tackle even more complex tasks and subjects. <br> "From prompts teachers can use in response to student-voiced concerns to overarching design and instructional principles to the dozens of classroom-ready activities sprinkled throughout, it is clear that this is a book by a teacher for teachers," says David Weintrop, assistant professor in the College of Education and College of Information Studies, University of Maryland. <br><i>What STEM Can Do for Your Classroom: </i><i>Improving Student Problem Solving, Collaboration, and Engagement, Grades K–6</i> is available to order at SolutionTree.com. <br> <b>About the Author</b><br>Jason McKenna is the director of global educational strategy for VEX Robotics.

WASA began the PLC at Work project with Solution Tree in 2021 with an inaugural cohort or group of participating school districts, including: Bremerton School District, Cheney School District, Cle Elum-Roslyn School District, Ellensburg School District, Granger School District, Kalama School District, Longview School District, Mead School District, Meridian School District, Monroe School District, Mount Adams School District, Muckleshoot Tribal Schools, Ocosta School District, Pullman School District, Rochester School District, Vancouver School District, Washougal School District, Wenatchee School District, and West Valley School District. <br> Active recruitment is currently underway for new school districts to participate in cohort two, which begins in August. <br> Cohorts commit to three years of intensive professional development designed for district leaders to engage deeply in the PLC at Work process, which is based on three big ideas: <br> 1. A focus on learning<br>2. A collaborative culture and collective responsibility<br>3. A results orientation or evidence of student learning As implementation progresses, entire school systems learn to work collaboratively to address issues of equity and ensure that all students learn at high levels. PLC at Work operates under the assumption <b>that the key to improved learning for students is continuous job-embedded learning for educators</b>. “Despite the heroic efforts of educators throughout the state, the inequities present in our systems seemed to be exacerbated by the pandemic,” stated Joel Aune, executive director of WASA. “Virtual learning, and our need to adapt quickly, revealed that all students didn’t have access to the same high-quality education. Through the WASA PLC at Work Project, we are intentional that learning efforts are targeted and result in a positive impact for all students. The goal of the project is to assist districts in Washington to work smarter, not harder.” Washington educators in the first cohort who are currently implementing the PLC at Work process are enthusiastic about the results they see. “We just finished up a five-day cycle of intervening on math concepts that kids didn’t learn the first time,” shared Mike Stark, a principal in the Cheney School District. “What we’re finding is that just that investment of five days of intervention is reducing the number of kids who need support by more than 50 percent.” Solution Tree president Ed Ackerman firmly believes in the impact this work will have on students throughout Washington. “We have data to illustrate the success of the PLC at Work project in other states,” said Ackerman. “I am inspired by the commitment of Washington educators involved in this project. Solution Tree is eager to expand this pivotal work when our second cohort begins in August.” District and school leaders who want to learn more about how they can take advantage of this opportunity should contact <a href="https://www.solutiontree.com/st-states/washington-contact" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Solution Tree">Solution Tree</a>. <br> <b>About Washington Association of School Administrators</b><br>The Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) is an organization for professional administrators that is committed to leadership in providing equity and excellence in student learning and developing competent, ethical, and visionary leaders.

The documentary is available to view on <a href="https://www.allthingsplc.info/Origins-of-PLCs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="AllThingsPLC.info">AllThingsPLC.info</a>. <br> In a PLC, educators work in collaborative teams in a continuous cycle of collective inquiry and action research with one goal—to achieve high levels of learning for all students. Since the late 1990s, the PLC process has become increasingly recognized across North America as a powerful strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement, although it existed many decades before then. In an August 2021 publication, “Strategies for Using American Rescue Plan Funding to Address the Impact of Lost Instructional Time,” the U.S. Department of Education identified PLCs as a creative and effective staffing solution for schools. <br> “If you think about the origins of professional learning communities, it’s like pulling a piece of thread out of a ball of twine,” said Robert Eaker, world-renowned champion of the PLC process. “It goes back a long, long way.” <br> “The Origins of Professional Learning Communities” traces that thread back more than 50 years, examining how research from business, sociology, engineering, and other fields contributed to the development of the PLC process that has been adopted by thousands of education leaders worldwide. “PLC at Work: The Beginning of the Practitioner’s Movement” demonstrates how PLC at Work makes a difference in schools because the process fuels high levels of learning for all students. <br> Featuring top education experts, authors, and researchers, including Eaker, the late Shirley Hord, James Kouzes, Karen Seashore Louis, Milbrey McLaughlin, Eric Twadell, and many others, this documentary highlights the timelessness of the PLC process and the profound impact it has had on teachers, administrators, and students. <br> “To fully understand the role of PLCs as the most promising strategy for school improvement, it’s critical to understand where the process comes from and how it has developed over time,” said Solution Tree CEO Jeffrey C. Jones. “We at Solution Tree are pleased to have played a part in chronicling that important history and sharing it with educators around the world.” <br> <b>About Solution Tree</b><br>For more than 20 years, Solution Tree (<a href="https://www.solutiontree.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">https://www.solutiontree.com</a>) has worked to transform education worldwide, empowering educators to raise student achievement.
