Implementing and Facilitating STEAM Problem-Based Learning From the Perspective of Teacher Leadership

Main Article Content

Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education taught through Project Based Learning (STEAM PBL) has expanded across 22 states in the United States in the last two years. The literature on STEAM teaching is just emerging with most of the studies having focused on descriptions of newly established STEAM schools and how the teaching methods have been incorporated in classrooms.  These studies have mainly used qualitative research or case study design. While the majority of the studies have described what is going on in terms of STEAM teaching, little is known about what type of school leadership can best facilitate the implementation of STEAM PBL. This study explores this gap by examining the source, process, practices, and effect of teacher leadership in relation to the implementation of STEAM  PBL. Data from 18 interviews with teachers in eight middle schools in a southern low-performing district  point to the importance of ongoing, hands-on professional development, effective professional learning  teams of teachers, and teacher leadership for the effective implementation of STEAM PBL teaching.
