The road to becoming an integrated STEM teacher is a journey. This STEM education journal aims to be a companion, or a guiding 'voice' on your journey from being to becoming a competent STEM teacher.

The journal can be used in two ways, as a personal learning journey and as a companion for professional learning communities. Anchored by 10 essential characteristics of STEM inquiry, the book features six integrated STEM activities, each with a vignette based on enacted lessons. Accompanied by probe activities, images of integrated STEM inquiry in the classroom, instructional models, suggested instructional strategies, and reflection questions, this book is designed to help you step into your journey of becoming an integrated STEM teacher.

This book describes a new pedagogical approach to learning design by intentionally designing and incorporating errors into learning experiences. DELETE™ stands for Designing Errors for Learning and Teaching and it is an approach that targets the roles that errors can play in establishing the contextual boundaries of rules and operating procedures for learners. With clarity of boundaries, learners understand the context under which rules apply and don't apply, resulting in the development of competencies and capabilities and, subsequently, expertise.

Mathematics is a subject taught from kindergarten through to high school, and yet it is the one subject that most adults are almost proud to admit to not having been very good at, and, therefore, tend to avoid it where they can. However, one of the key factors in mathematics is its ability to enable us to solve everyday problems. When we consider "the worst-case scenario" of the situation, it is analogous to solving a mathematical problem by considering extremes. Or, we might consider the best path to take from point A to point B, where geometric relationships can be helpful. This book is intended to demonstrate a variety of neglected aspects of mathematics, in order to demonstrate the power and beauty of the field of mathematics beyond where most people, students, and teachers believe is possible.
