Pride Academy Charter School (2023 - 2024)

Students were introduced to concepts of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) through an interdisciplinary approach focused on the United Nations Global Goals, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The curriculum engaged students in hands-on activities, inquiry-based learning, and creative projects to explore how STEAM disciplines can address global issues and foster positive change. Students better understand sustainability and development by utilizing technology tools like the Global Goals Virtual Classroom and Sustainable Development Goals Digital Notebook. They developed essential 21st-century skills in digital literacy, collaboration, and communication. The curriculum emphasized critical thinking, problem-solving, collaborative skills, communication, creative expression, and global citizenship, empowering students to leverage technology for positive change and become informed and socially conscious global citizens.
