"What we DO is more important than what we say or what we say we believe."
- bell hooks
And this is how we DO it. (Montell Jordan voice)
South Atlanta High School's STEM initiative is a WHOLE SCHOOL model with a PROGRAM component.
Every child, every student.
EVERY student at South Atlanta will receive curricular instruction aimed at increasing the STEM literacy of our students. This includes engaging students to solve real-world, relevant interdisciplinary problems through the use of problem solving and design thinking processes and strategies. Students will build competence in knowledge and skills that will prepare them for a STEM driven work-force (across subject areas).
Intensive and immersive.
A select group of students will have an intensive experience in the Advocating Through the Community Through STEM (A.C.T.S.) Program. Students in the A.C.T.S. program engage in an advanced and accelerated course of study in the area of mathematics and science. Participants are identified mainly through the demonstration of specific STEM dispositions (creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, motivation, agility and empathy) and are expected to maintain certain performance and extracurricular involvement criteria.
