The NISE campus certification has given our schools a foundation to support STEM implementation. We appreciate the coaches making the sessions easy, stress free and interesting. We are following up with the STEM best practices throughout the schools and encourage our teachers to continue on the path that NISE has started us on. The NISE process is well thought out, easy to understand and with the guidance of our coach, an extremely pleasant experience.

We believe that aligning our instructional practices with the 15 STEM Teacher Actions will definitely help us to reach this vision for our students.

Working through the campus certification has been one of the most impacting experiences we have undergone as a STEAM Academy.
