The Instructional Technology Department will share its experience contributing to the TK/K/1 STEAM initiative in San Diego Unified School District. They will share the rationale for the program, the development of curriculum and PD, and how it aims to engage young learners and decrease the dropout rate in the district. The team will share how purposeful integration of technology in curriculum writing and lesson design supports project-based learning and students engaging in real-world projects with an authentic audience.
Participants will understand how SDUSD has implemented NGSS based Project-based curriculum in grades TK/K/1 as a district initiative.
Participants will see how GSuite, Flipgrid, Adobe Spark, Spheros and Ozobots can be written into project-based learning curriculum for TK/K/1st graders.
Participants will practice real-world phenomenon-based lessons with community-based solutions.
Participants will receive sample unit plans to implement with their students.
Participants will reflect on lessons from SDUSD and see how they can create their own project-based learning with young learners.
Introduction
Presenters introduce themselves and discuss the rationale for the Project-Based Learning STEAM initiative and how it took hold in SDUSD. Next the team will share their experience with planning for NGSS and Phenomenon Based Teaching to include STEAM strategies.
For the units listed below, the team will present the unit overview, expected standards, and student outcomes. Not only will the audience see the lessons and final project, they will engage in an activity from the unit. Last, the audience will learn about the final project and its real world impact.

The session will culminate in sharing resources around unit/lesson design and tools for developing project based STEAM lessons.
San Diego Unified School District studies and employs strategies from Zaretta Hammond and "Culturally Responsive Teaching." She teaches that in order for students to engage in learning, they must see how content is connected. The project-based STEAM curriculum this team will present shows her research in practice
