The Center for Technology and School Change (CTSC) at Teachers College, Columbia University and the Center for Environmental Research and Conservation (CERC) at Columbia University's Earth Institute are working in partnership with three STEM focused New York City schools (K-8) to develop a systemic, transformative approach for interdisciplinary STEM teaching and learning. The planned model prepares teachers to design innovative, authentic STEM projects, and supports administrators in leading such efforts. CTSC has identified key elements of a robust design process to help teachers move from business- as-usual pedagogy to dramatically new practices in content, pedagogy, and technology use. The program also identifies an interdisciplinary STEM perspective, supported with experts from CERC who provide STEM fieldwork expertise as part of the overall design. Moreover, the project creates research and educational collaborations with diverse, community-based groups (e.g., urban nature centers). The project uses a mobile learning platform to leverage social networking among schools, teachers, students, STEM experts, parents and the community.The goal of the grant is to establish a culture of inquiry with all partners in order to develop interdiciplinary, authentic STEM learning environments. Design-based research provides iterative cycles of implementation to explore and refine the approach as a transformative model for STEM programs. The model supports a sustainable approach by building the capacity of schools to focus on design issues related to content, pedagogy, and leadership.

哥伦比亚大学师范学院的技术与学校变革中心（CTSC）和哥伦比亚大学地球研究所的环境研究与保护中心（CERC）正在与三所专注于STEM的纽约市学校（K-8）合作，为跨学科STEM教学和学习开发一种系统的变革方法。计划中的模型为教师设计创新的，真实的STEM项目做好准备，并支持管理人员领导这些工作。 CTSC已经确定了一个强大的设计过程的关键要素，以帮助教师从业务照常教学，以显着的新做法，内容，教学和技术的使用。该计划还确定了一个跨学科的STEM视角，由CERC的专家提供支持，他们提供STEM实地工作专业知识作为整体设计的一部分。此外，该项目还与不同的社区团体（例如，城市自然中心）。该项目使用一个移动的学习平台，利用学校、教师、学生、STEM专家、家长和社区之间的社交网络，赠款的目标是与所有合作伙伴建立一种探究文化，以发展跨学科、真实的STEM学习环境。基于设计的研究提供了实施的迭代周期，以探索和完善作为STEM项目变革模型的方法。该模式支持可持续的方法，建设学校的能力，重点关注与内容、教学法和领导力有关的设计问题。
