This Professional Learning session complies with the STEM Clock Hour criteria.

STEM Clock Hour Requirement and Criteria:

Beginning on September 1, 2019, renewal applications for professional and continuing teacher certificates must document completion of at least 15 clock hours, or at least on goal from an annual professional growth plan (PGP), with an emphasis on STEM integration to meet this renewal requirement. STEM integration is the authentic combination of at least two of the STEM components (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

The educator must participate in or demonstrate implementation of a STEM activity. The learning must demonstrate authentic integration of science, technology, engineering and math, incorporating at least 2 of the 4 STEM elements.

The STEM activity must also comply with the following Guiding Questions:

  1. Will the STEM activity have an impact on STEM experiences for students?
  2. Does the STEM activity provide examples or resources to use with students or with educators?
  3. Does the STEM activity provide examples or resources about STEM-related career choices to use with students?
