The Indiana Department of Education website is easy to navigate. They include information on Indiana’s Choice Scholarship Program, homeschooling information, early learning, and more. Indiana has an Integrated STEM homepage as well as standards. Integrated STEM gets students engaged in solving real-world “problems using inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and engineering design practices, which require critical thinking and collaboration”. To learn more about what Indiana’s Department of Education has to offer, please explore the links below in more depth.
Note: While we continually check for current state standards, states often revise and update standards and various resources. Please make sure to double check that the information you are using is up-to-date for your state.
