The General Assembly of Pennsylvania has approved the following two House Resolutions:
House Resolution #172 - designates the week of April 22 through 29, 2017, as “Earth Week” in Pennsylvania
House Resolution #182 - designates the week of April 23 through 29, 2017, as "STEAM Initiative Week" in Pennsylvania
“STEAM” is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. A challenging curriculum offered to students who demonstrate an aptitude for such subject areas is highly beneficial. Indeed, the concentrated focus on technological, scientific, math-related and artistic learning and skills development that takes place for such students is essential. STEAM education allows students to enter the job market well prepared to obtain good jobs with family-sustaining wages.
Please celebrate these weeks with your students and fellow science teachers!
