As STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, ART, and Math) education grows in appreciation, there is much that is yet to be established regarding the curriculum of secondary education and the implementation of what STEAM offers.
Pamela has spent years investigating STEAM through the National Science Foundation, Design Thinking at Northwestern University, and through various conferences she has attended. In 2013 she conducted post secondary independent research with a survey of ETHS AP Studio Art students along with AP Chemistry, AP Physics and AP Calculus students comparing the effects of their high school learning experiences as described in 21st Century Learning Skills with their current professional practice. As one of the few high school educators who has written and implemented interdisciplinary curriculum based on art, she has become an expert on bringing the creative processes of making art to other non-art disciplines.
As a result she has been consulting with the administration of Evanston Township High School on developing an interdisciplinary STEAM curriculum to be instituted for the school year 2016-17.
She remains connected and current with local and national trends in Design Thinking and STEAM education. For more details contact her directly.
