Educator Delegation Visits SmartLab HQs

Written by SmartLab Learning

We were honored to host a delegation of educators from Guangzhou City, China. This delegation of teachers, principals, and superintendents, affiliated with Beijing Normal University, visited Colorado SmartLab HQs to learn about innovative approaches to STEM education in the United States.

The China delegation visited a number of schools throughout the Denver Metro area.

The tour featured meetings with the superintendents of Littleton and Denver school systems and Richard Crandall, Colorado Commissioner of Education. The delegation also enjoyed a Q&A session with STEM students at Cresthill Middle School where both students and delegates had the opportunity to compare and contrast educational systems in the two countries.

Delegation members frequently remarked on the level of the students’ engagement in the SmartLab HQ. They were impressed by the use of applied technology for project work, the degree of choice and personalization of learning, and authentic assessment through portfolios.

Common observations were that, though there is no equivalent program in China, Chinese students would benefit greatly from similar opportunities.

Going beyond STEM to teach essential skills

When the team at Jewell Houston Academy, a magnet school in Texas, looked for a STEM program, they wanted one that would not only engage students in STEM careers but could also teach conflict-resolution, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.
