Youth in Arts: STEM to STEAM Teacher Training

PaperSeed partnered with Youth in Arts in the fall of 2017 to enhance our annual Recycled Materials Arts Competition by providing targeted teacher training and lesson plans to local elementary school teachers. These STEM to STEAM workshops gave teachers the tools to launch detailed lessons focused on conservation and recycling, and incorporated art and creative problem solving into broader discussions about our waste habits.

Teachers left these workshops feeling more confident about incorporating arts instruction in their classrooms, and inspired to help students think about how they can be better environmental stewards both at school and at home.
