McCleskey Middle School achieved its Cobb STEM certification in March of 2019.
What this means is that all teachers are committed to providing cross curricular activities that engross students in 21st century skill such as: critical thinking, scientific literacy, persistence, and collaboration. Teachers work together to find common content or themes that can be exploited to show students how interrelated the content is and how their knowledge can be applied to real world scenarios .
Being a Cobb STEM Certified School means that every student, in every grade level can anticipate participation in at least one “STEM” unit each semester. Other opportunities unique to McCleskey include: daily access to a MakerSpace filled with rotating STEAM challenges, opportunities to participate in the morning news program, a STEAMFest in the Spring that showcases community partners, guest speakers throughout the year that highlight how middle school curriculum is applicable in the job market, an innovative reading incentive program that highlights STEAM texts, and other STEAM experiences as they are relevant throughout the year.
We look forward to giving your students the unique educational experience that is special to McCleskey Middle School.
