At Epiphany we implement a STRE@M- integrated approach to learning. Bringing Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics together just as they so often do in the real world.
The Florida Catholic Conference focuses STRE@M School's certification on the following:
-
The mission and Catholic identity are fully integrated into every aspect of the school.
-
All classrooms are centers of fully engaged 21st century learners.
-
The curriculum is arranged in such a way that the subjects are coordinated to support each other and promote a natural way of learning.
-
Interdisciplinary project-based, inquiry-based learning is evident throughout the school.
-
Students demonstrate an increased STRE@M literacy. Students have an understanding of religious, scientific, artistic, technological, mathematical, and engineering concepts and processes for personal decision making and participation in civic and cultural affairs.
-
Professional development for all staff members is a priority. The individual professional development plans flow from the school's goals, focusing on innovative data-informed instruction.
-
The professional learning communities within the school and with other professional educators highlight the STRE@M topics, improvement of instruction and learning, use of data to make instructional decisions, innovative integration of technology, and methods to continue to improve the Catholic culture of the school.
-
Authentic use of technology by both the teachers and the students is an integral part of the teaching and learning.
-
The school has a designated curriculum and/or STRE@M Coordinator.
Epiphany is in the data and document collecting phase of STRE@M certification. Our goal is to have FCC certification visits this winter. Stay tuned.
