S12 E4: The Power of STEAM: Arts in Science Education
Manage episode 448836713 series 2780462
In this episode of Practical Access, Dr. Jonte’ Taylor, associate professor at Penn State, discusses the integration of arts into STEM education, creating an inclusive STEAM framework. Dr. Taylor emphasizes the importance of incorporating arts (the "A" in STEAM) as a tool for multimodal representation, aligning with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to make science more accessible and engaging for all students, especially those with diverse needs.
The conversation covers strategies for teachers to foster inclusive science classrooms. Dr. Taylor highlights the significance of rethinking engagement, making science relevant to everyday life, and using a flexible approach to instruction that adapts to individual student needs. He discusses supporting students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD) in science classes, encouraging teachers to embrace active, hands-on learning, while also being sensitive to classroom dynamics.
The episode concludes with advice for special education teachers collaborating with experienced science teachers, emphasizing the power of adaptability and co-ownership of all students’ success. Dr. Taylor’s insights remind educators that inclusive, inquiry-based science education is attainable through collaboration, intentionality, and courage.
