STEM Learning

WE ARE EXCITED AND PROUD TO ANNOUNCE:
 
St. Gabriel School has been awarded by The Ohio Department of Education the STEM School Designation Credential! This amazing certification caps a whole year process that designates St. Gabriel School a model STEM school that promotes a culture of:
  • Rigorous, diverse, integrated and project-based comprehensive curriculum with the goal to prepare students for college, the workforce, and citizenship
  • Emphasis on the role of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the arts (STEAM) in promoting innovation, service learning, and economic progress
  • Learning models that promote STEM skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, inquiry, collaboration, and communication
  • Building of key instructional and learning relationships with higher educational institutions to ensure strong student foundation in preparation for successful college and careers
  • Building collaborative partnerships with STEAM related area businesses and industry to develop student awareness and educational experiences in the area’s commerce and economy
  • Establishing a community based governing body and curriculum committee that will help guide, promote, and steer STEAM initiatives at St. Gabriel into the future
SGS's proposal outlined how we exemplify the above criteria now and how moving into the future we will provide a teaching and learning culture of authentic STEM experiences that will build on what is already established. This shift in the school's learning culture will prepare students for the future of higher education and skills for careers of today and tomorrow.
 
This honor was announced in June of 2016 and SGS is only one of two Catholic schools in the state of Ohio to receive the credential. In addition, Mrs. Donna Lee Saladino will serve on the Cleveland Catholic Diocese steering committee for STEM expansion into STREAM (adding  Religion) to promote this culture of learning and service and preparation for a future of discipleship in their careers.

We are so proud and honored and thankful to all Faculty, Staff, Students, and Parents for all efforts and roles in this journey.  Way to go Grizzlies! ​

Philosophy
I believe that all teachers are guides on the journey of education and not dispensers of information. I believe that it is my duty to work with students and teachers to guide students to the knowledge they seek.
