interdisciplinary approach
to learning where rigorous
academic concepts are
coupled with real-world
lessons as students apply
science, technology,
engineering, and
mathematics in contexts
that make connections
between school,
community, work, and the
global enterprise enabling
the development of STEM
literacy and with it the
ability to compete in the
new economy” (Tsupros,
2009).
