STEM in Action at ICC Elementary!

Principals joined together for an informative day, gathering information on how they can better serve their schools. They also learned about some great events that are upcoming in which students can be involved! Exciting things coming! 🎉

Mrs. Duncan from Highland High School is displaying the 8 Mathematical Practices for her students. We love it!

Today, November 8, we recognize National STEM day. NAESC has some amazing things going on in the world of STEM! We encourage schools and teachers to reach out and discover how you can get your students engaged!

Teachers came in to collaborate and learn more about teaching with the Arkansas Science Standards. They discovered ways to have students collaborate and come up with consensus models. Modeling in the science classroom is essential!

Honoring all who served, past, present and future.

VERY EXCITING! NAESC is hosting the 2022 STEM Expo and Career Fair on March 15. We are expecting over 600 area students who will be introduced to multiple opportunities that will help to guide their future pathways. For more information, feel free to reach out!
