Pitsco Stem Education
We live in a global society and must use skills beyond content. Preparing students for college and career readiness is a task that begins early in their education in order to ensure their future success. Pitsco Education embeds a range of skills in its curriculum to facilitate the development of fundamental 21st-century skills, including life and career skills; information, media, and technology skills; critical-thinking skills; communication skills; and collaboration skills. All of these are integrated into the curriculum in meaningful, relevant ways that reinforce the validity of the skills to the students; students use the skills in such a way that they can apply them in other situations outside of the curriculum experience.
