The Basic Package is a PD package designed for schools looking for STEM training, but are not yet subscribed to Design SySTEM. It's perfect for schools looking for a "starter kit" PD session that teaches teachers the general principles around effective STEM instruction - including how to build their own lessons!

Please note that this PD package is designed to be school staff-led (making PD much more affordable), with voice narration and all content provided. It would be the school's responsibility to collect the materials, technology, space, and staff necessary for implementation. These packages will only provide schools with the presentation content needed to deliver PD.

The PD package will cover the following topic areas: 

  • Innovation
  • Project-Based Learning
  • "Traditional" vs. "New" Knowledge Space
  • "Linear" vs. "Random" Learning
  • "4 Cs" and "21st Century Skills" (p21.org)
  • Elementary STEM framework
  • Differentiating STEM
  • Lesson Simulations
  • Measuring Student Progress
  • PLCs


Estimated delivery time: 4 hours
