In \u003ci\u003eSociety, Culture, and STEM: A Model for Student Engagement and Teacher Collaboration\u003c\/i\u003e, teachers will learn a team-based approach to incorporating local and international cultural perspectives and experiences into a curriculum of STEM subjects. This book presents a six-phase process, \u003ci\u003ePryor-Kang Socio-cultural STEM Curriculum Development Model\u003c\/i\u003e, for designing a socio-cultural STEM curriculum that is integrative, expansive, personal, and achievement-oriented. The Model focuses on a teacher-student-community outreach process, ongoing evaluation, solicitation of feedback, and continuous improvement through curriculum redesign or reconfiguration. In this process, a selected set of curriculum goals, interdisciplinary content learning standards, and resources are coordinated purposefully to capture multiple perspectives and needs.
