Considering the A in STEAM is for Art, students who learn to add cool graphic designs to their projects (in any class!) will have used a more whole brain approach that taps into the Creative, Innovative part of their brain.

Don’t let the words station rotation scare you. Stations can help every child at every grade level have a more personalized learning experience. Personalized learning and differentiation can be as easy as breaking into your old lessons and lectures into chunks or stations. Reimagine your lessons as dynamic and choice driven classroom activities that allow students to self select and self assess. You can multiply the effectiveness of your current lessons and presentations without needing to multiply yourself.
