Building a K-12 Stem Lab: A Step-By-Step Guide for School Leaders and Tech Coaches

Gain insights and clear guidelines for developing the robust partnerships and processes you need to build a successful STEM lab in your school.

Few resources are available for district and school leaders looking to establish successful STEM labs. Frequently, efforts do not gain traction because they lack a systemic approach and the support of a broad spectrum of stakeholders within the school community. Unlike other books, Building a K-12 STEM Lab addresses this challenge from the perspective of the leader, identifying opportunities for capacity building and ensuring equal access and equity for all students.

This book will:

• Address key issues in building a STEM Lab, including budgetary constraints, space limitations, technology design and resources, and inclusivity.
• Provide step-by-step guidelines designed to meet the diverse needs of a wide range of educational environments.
• Include vignettes describing the experiences of a variety of schools - public, private, rural, urban - at different levels - elementary, middle school, and high school - that have successfully established STEM labs in their schools.

Audience: K-12 school and district leaders, tech coaches
