Abstract

This study described the components key to the designs of five exemplar STEM-focused elementary schools. The 17 critical components common to the exemplar elementary schools grouped into three themes. First were those that were foundational for the STEM school design, the second set of components described the key participants and resources that provided the means for STEM program implementation, and the third set of components describe the implementation of the school STEM design. These components provide a blueprint from which elementary schools can increase their quality STEM offerings for students.
