Learning Objectives

Meeting Educational Goals in North Carolina

By 2025, the North Carolina State Board of Education (SBE) aims to eliminate opportunity gaps in their student and post-secondary populations. The SBE’s vision statement describes what this might look like in the classroom, where every student will be:

Empowered to accept academic challenges
Prepared to pursue their chosen path after graduating from high school
Encouraged to become a lifelong learner with the capacity to engage in a globally collaborative society

This primary goal is accompanied by—as well as reliant upon—the SBE’s additional goals of increasing educator preparedness and improving school and district performance by the same deadline. To achieve these three goals, North Carolina schools must implement equitable, future-facing programming that supports educators alongside students of all abilities. Not to mention keep learning fun!

That’s where SmartLab Learning can help.

SmartLab Learning In North Carolina

Supporting Whole-Child STEM Instruction

In North Carolina, as in many other states, the current demand for STEM professionals far outweighs the supply of qualified applicants. To uphold North Carolina’s legacy of STEM innovations and prepare learners to meet evolving workforce needs, the state has developed the STEM Recognition Program for schools to share their “distinguished approaches to leading and learning” in the fields of science, math, engineering, and technology. Recognition is awarded based on five principles, which align with SmartLab Learning in the following ways:

Student Opportunities: In project-based SmartLab Learning engagements, students of all abilities and interests can explore self-directed projects at their own pace. | Learn More

Classroom Environment: While engaging with core STEM concepts, students build next-generation skills like collaboration, diplomacy, group problem-solving, and empathy. | Learn More

School Culture: Hands-on learning experiences provide even the most disengaged students with chances to follow their curiosity and discover new, authentic connections to core subjects | Learn More

Schools that exemplify model approaches to these principles become STEM Schools of Distinction, demonstrating that their programming provides a robust, relevant education for all students, regardless of circumstance.
