STEM School of Excellence Recognition Program
Celebrating outstanding schools who are providing a meaningful Integrative STEM education experience to their students
ITEEA’s STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ (STEM CTL) annually recognizes outstanding schools for their commitment to providing a robust Integrative experience through the STEM School of Excellence Recognition Program. This special designation was created to celebrate those schools whose teachers, administrators, and other stakeholders are providing a meaningful STEM education experience for students and to inspire others to learn effective best practices and instructional strategies to enhance their own programs.
All K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Universities are eligible to apply!
Applicants must complete a rigorous application with detailed documentation to demonstrate a strong Integrative STEM program, which is then reviewed by a panel of peers. Following review, schools may be awarded one of the following levels of recognition:
- ITEEA STEM School of Excellence (200+ points)
- ITEEA STEM School of Merit (170-199 points)
2023-2024 STEM School of Excellence is closed, please check back for more information.
