Training Description

STEAM for Leaders:  

Supporting Quality Informal Science in your OST Program 

Length of Training - 3-part series 

This leadership cohort is a "hybrid" learning experience. By registering for this series, you are committing to attending all training sessions both in-person and virtual.   

 

For Directors and Assistant Directors only. Participants are REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL TRAININGS in the series and complete assignments in between trainings.  

 

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) is everywhere.  STEAM learning in OST allows youth to connect STEAM to their everyday life.  Hands-on STEAM activities are not only fun but will also increase youths’ interest and knowledge where they can imagine themselves as scientists or professionals in a STEAM career.   

 

STEAM for Leaders training series provides directors with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively guide their staff when planning, implementing, and engaging youth in informal STEAM experiences. This new leadership training is focused on building an inquiry-based, hands-on STEAM enrichment program within the OST weekly schedule with cohort trained staff members and impacting positive youth development. Directors will become familiar with the 5Es Instructional Model, a framework for science-based lesson planning that allows youth to learn through questions, investigation, experiences, and collaborative sharing of knowledge. With the Dimensions of Success (DoS) assessment tool and customized coaching and feedback, directors will be better equipped to support staff, provide opportunities for continuous improvement, and create a successful, high quality STEAM program that is specific to the interest and needs of their youth.


Training schedule is hybrid with one in-person session and two virtual sessions.


Part 1 is an in-person 2-hour training session. Part 2 and Part 3 are virtual 1-hour training sessions.
