1 K-12 SCIENCE CURRICULUM

2 THE LEADER IN PREK-12 STEM EDUCATION. Accelerate Learning did not become the leader in PreK-12 STEM education overnight STEMscopes, our PreK-12 STEM solution, has been teachers top choices for authentically teaching students STEM for years. With an ear to the ground for feedback, and a commitment to continuous improvement, Accelerate Learning and STEMscopes continue to grow, refine, and work with teachers to discover the best ways to help students succeed and achieve at unprecedented levels. How was STEMscopes Texas Created? WIth all components done, components are submitted to state education agencies for accuracy reviews. Once 100% alignment is attained, we solicit general feedback. The group breaks into teams and the writing begins. With each draft, components are tested in pilot schools that provide feedback to further refine curriculum elements. Poring over analytics data, our curriculum and technology teams combine forces to improve existing components. Everything begins with a critical analysis of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills we build curriculum from the ground up rather than adapting pre-exisiting materials to work. Using a vareity of channels, our in-house curriculum team gathers teachers, district leaders, and subject matter experts. Indicates a cyclical process. Creating STEMscopes is an ongoing process. We are always finding new ways to improve effectiveness. learn more at STEMpreview.com

3 DIGITAL, PRINT, & KIT REACH EVERY STUDENT. Everything you need. STEMscopes is the one-stop shop for STEM. While most textbook companies first write content and then drop in related activities, STEMscopes was written with the hands-on activities first, resulting in more effective curriculum. Combining digital resources, print, and hands-on kits helps students develop a more complete sense of STEM by learning content through a variety of modalities increasing engagement by fostering a blended learning environment. Help students embrace literacy, refine their digital-native skills, and explore real-life science through STEMscopes hands-on kits, online student accounts, and rich texts. Digital Subscriptions Find standards-aligned activities in a snap, plan lessons quickly, get data back in real time, and find ways to address all the different learners in your classroom. Built on an HTML5 platform, STEMscopes works on tablets, computers, and smartphones. Hands-on Materials Kits Save time setting up and organizing hands-on investigations with hands-on materials kits. Built to encourage both small group interaction and teacher facilitation, STEMscopes kits save both money and time, thanks to bulk purchasing and activity-based packaging. The Student Notebook Easily gather all student records, content, and extension activites in one place, saving you time grading and assigning student work. Students benefit from having a mobile content resource and portfolio of their work that promotes continuous improvement. learn more at STEMpreview.com

4 TX STEM curriculum. TR AINING STEMscopes TX began with hands-on investigations as the core of our content. The addition of the texts, supporting activities, assessments, and differentiation activities found in digital subscriptions supports the deep learning that hands-on provides. This model may seem like common sense, but in the publishing world, STEMscopes is a forerunner, designing curriculum that actually reflects the real world in three dimensions, unlike a flat textbook.
