STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)
- All students at Stratford Landing participate in weekly STEAM classes with one of our 4 STEAM teachers: Ms. Lora Luster, Ms. Julia Schickel, Ms. Kendall Brees and Ms. Sharon Burke. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
- Our goal is to deepen content understanding and foster Portrait of a Graduate attributes through the integration of STEAM while providing exposure to and opportunities for STEM careers.
Coding
- All students at Stratford Landing participate in separate Technology classes; Grade K-1 students come weekly, Grade 3-6 students come on a bi-weekly basis. This year, students are learning coding, following the curriculum structure of Code.org.
- Students learn computational thinking, problem-solving, communicating, and other Portrait of a Graduate skills. Computational thinking (CT) is a problem-solving process that includes characteristics such as logically ordering and analyzing data, creating solutions using a series of ordered steps (or algorithms), and dispositions, such as the ability to confidently deal with complexity and open-ended problems.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to assisting students and staff in creating a 21st-century learning environment. In efforts to support this progress, students and staff will now be able to access our wireless network with their personal devices (laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, etc) during the school day. Students may register and use their own devices to access the internet and collaborate with other students. By allowing students to use their own technology at school, we are hoping to increase the access all students have to the technology they need to succeed.
