STEAM Pathways — School In The Park

STEAM Pathways (SP) is a series of hands-on learning experiences for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students at Clark and Wilson Middle Schools organized by San Diego learning institutions.

A continuation of School in the Park, SP engages students through a blending of informal and formal learning, career exposure, and authentic connections with professionals. SP includes an NGSS-based curriculum that is collaboratively planned between teachers and local partners. 

Education coordinators from partner institutions and teachers from each school meet to plan curriculum. Priorities during the planning process include student engagement, thematic connection between experiences, vertical alignment, and logistics.
