"The idea that Earth is shaped by dynamic and ongoing geologic processes is a powerful one for a scientifically literate society to understand. This module focuses on helping students understand more about this idea: Knowing that flooding, earthquakes, and volcanoes can alter the landscape in a short amount of time will help students recognize the inherent risks of living in specific locations around the globe. Understanding the impact that the geology of an area plays on the establishment of a community will help students better appreciate the challenges communities face and the diversity in culture that arises as a result of the geology. And recognizing that some short-term events (e.g., earthquakes and volcanoes) have underlying causes that are modifying Earth on a much longer time scale is critical for students to better understand our place on this planet"--

STEM Road Map: A Framework for Integrated STEM Education is the first resource to offer an integrated STEM curricula encompassing the entire K-12 spectrum, with complete grade-level learning based on a spiraled approach to building conceptual understanding. A team of over thirty STEM education professionals from across the U.S. collaborated on the important work of mapping out the Common Core standards in mathematics and English/language arts, the Next Generation Science Standards performance expectations, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning into a coordinated, integrated, STEM education curriculum map. The book is structured in three main parts—Conceptualizing STEM, STEM Curriculum Maps, and Building Capacity for STEM—designed to build common understandings of integrated STEM, provide rich curriculum maps for implementing integrated STEM at the classroom level, and supports to enable systemic transformation to an integrated STEM approach. The STEM Road Map places the power into educators’ hands to implement integrated STEM learning within their classrooms without the need for extensive resources, making it a reality for all students.
