Putting STEMscopes to Work for YOU Putting STEMscopes to Work for YOU

Did you know that STEMscopes has differentiated lesson elements? This document categorizes the different lesson options by MASTERS, MEETS, and APPROACHES to help you decide which elements to use for each lesson or purpose.


STEMscopes is also developing a Scaffolded Instruction Guide that sorts activities within each scope by previous grade-level remediation, grade level with supports, grade level, and extending grade level.


If you need assistance locating or using any of these resources, please reach out to your Master Teacher or Instructional Specialist.
