Year

Outcome
Cornerstone STEAM projects launched for 3rd–5th grade
The Context
Edina Public Schools initiated a multi-year program to develop their elementary STEAM framework. They needed assistance in the design and implementation of this work.
What we did
AnnMarie facilitated large and small groups of educators throughout the process of early-stage design exploration and needs-finding, through to classroom implementation of new grade-level cornerstone STEAM projects for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.
The Evidence
Ann Marie had a remarkable ability to listen carefully to educator input. She consistently asked thoughtful, strategic questions that pushed our teams toward stronger outcomes and more authentic learning experiences for students. She consistently provided meaningful feedback and encouragement, and helped educators translate ideas into high-quality STEAM projects. Equally important, Ann Marie understood the importance of continuous feedback and iteration throughout the process. Her combination of creativity, flexibility, instructional expertise, and systems thinking makes her an exceptional consultant and partner. I would highly recommend her to any organization seeking meaningful, sustainable innovation in teaching and learning.
