understood and implemented. Step Into STEAM examines and addresses issues regarding the importance of STEAM learning and provides the
support that elementary classroom teachers and instructional leaders need to truly guide their planning, teaching, and assessment of integrated and
inquiry-based STEAM instruction. What an amazing ‘must-have’ resource! -- Francis (Skip) Fennell
Step Into STEAM takes a sophisticated pedagogy from appearing as a complicated challenge to an approach that is accessible to each and every
classroom. What separates this work from others? Oh, right: There are no other books like this one! The authors’ practical approach to getting started and go-to resources recognize the reality of busy educators’ lives. Here you’ll find planning tools and examples of investigations that don’t trivialize any of the STEAM subjects to merely ‘cover’ a subject. Rather, they integrate the subjects in a way that leverages community and societal interests; they exemplify student-driven instruction that capitalizes on learners’ strengths; and they focus on equity, empathy, and experience to help learners seamlessly blend their noncognitive skills. -- Karen S. Karp ― Louisville, KY
Step Into STEAM offers a rare opportunity for anyone concerned with education to consider what learning would be like with equity, empathy, and
experience. By providing examples from educators who have dared to put children first, this book offers more than just a new way to teach; it offers
hope for youth today. By considering what youth will need to be successful in jobs that are not yet created, Bush and Cook provide a platform for
educators to create authentic, real-world problem solving in classrooms and beyond with attention on the often forgotten component of STEAM―the M! As a proponent of STEAM education, my recommendation is to grab this book and watch your students love learning again! -- Cassie Quigley ― Pittsburgh, PA
While some STEM and STEAM books tend to be heavy on one discipline and can leave out other disciplines, this book advocates interdisciplinarity
and in fact emphasizes the concept of transdisciplinarity. Transdisciplinarity is meaningful STEAM instruction that goes beyond simply connecting the
disciplines but supports meaningful connections among the disciplines that creates learning beyond the disciplines themselves. This idea melds
throughout the book with examples and suggestions for how to develop such a program that provides meaningful learning experiences across and
among the STEAM disciplines. -- Valarie Akerson ― Bloomington, IN
Step Into STEAM is a must-read for anyone interested in STEAM! Rather than supplying a set of prescribed lesson plans to follow, the authors provide guidance, practical suggestions, and thought-provoking questions to assist the reader as they successfully plan for and implement STEAM inquiries. These STEAM inquiries, which maintain a sharp focus on mathematics and science content and practices, hold the potential to highly affect learning for each and every student." -- Susie Katt ― Lincoln, NE
Step Into STEAM is a timely guide for those interested in framing their work in STEAM instruction. The authors’ unique and innovative approach
is transformational and takes readers on a journey into STEAM teaching and learning. Bush and Cook have written a must-read primer for
everyone involved in STEAM education . . . Read this book―and learn from the best! -- Rommel J. Miranda ― Towson, MD
Through carefully crafted research-based frameworks; inspirational, authentic, and approachable practical strategies rooted in the reform efforts
of student-centered STEAM instruction; and opportunities for professional self-reflection, Step Into STEAM rightfully re-elevates educators to their
proper places as innovation experts and agents of change in their own classrooms, schools, districts, and communities. An inspirational step in a
needed direction, Drs. Bush and Cook have carefully crafted the type of book educators have been craving: a guide to transforming ourselves, our
learning spaces, and our profession. -- Richard Cox Jr. ― Charlotte, NC
Step Into STEAM provides a remarkable resource in bringing together mathematics and science learning in authentic ways that inform and reflect
the world around us. This book thoughtfully integrates STEM literacy and a research-informed focus to implement content and practice standards for
PreK–5 students, teachers, and leaders. Students are empowered through equitable STEAM instruction to connect their lived experiences in order to
impact local communities and society at large. -- Farshid Safi ― Educators (AMTE) Orlando, FL
Every craftsperson needs a good set of tools. A painter needs their collection of brushes, a carpenter their assortment of saws, an engineer their pencils and scales. Each tool is related, and some may seem indistinguishable to a casual observer―but the right tool in the right hands can make a world of difference. Teachers―especially STEAM teachers―are no exception, and for them Step Into STEAM can be both toolbox and tool: at once an indispensable collection of ideas, guidelines, hints, and tips, and a single convenient place to find them all. You might not use every tool on every job―but when you need just the right one, you’ll be glad you know where to find it. -- Alan Perez ― Louisville, KY

At the University of Central Florida, she is the Director of the Lockheed Martin/UCF Mathematics and Science Academy and is a program co-coordinator of the Mathematics Education PhD track. She teaches primarily graduate courses in mathematics education. She is a prolific writer who has authored 13 books and more than 100 journal articles and book chapters. Dr. Bush recently completed a term (2019–2022) as a member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Board of Directors. She served as the lead writer and task force chair for NCTM’s Catalyzing Change in Middle School Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations. Dr. Bush was the recipient of the 2021 School Science and Mathematics Association (SSMA) Award for Excellence in Integrating Science and Mathematics and 2018 recipient of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) Early Career Award. Dr. Bush seamlessly integrates her practical experience as a middle school mathematics teacher in public schools with her innovative scholarship to serve as an instructional leader in the field of mathematics education and STE(A)M education. Dr. Bush co-wrote the Simplifying STEM: Four Equitable Practices to Inspire Meaningful Learning: PreK-5 and 6-12 books published by Corwin in early 2024.
Dr. Kristin L. Cook, a former high school science teacher, is a Professor of Science Education in the School of Education at Bellarmine University. She received her doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction specializing in Science Education and Environmental Sciences from Indiana University. Dr. Cook teaches courses in K–12 science methods and STEAM Education. In addition to teaching initial certification and advanced graduate classes, Dr. Cook serves as a professional developer and consultant for K–12 STEAM-focused school reform and project and problem-based learning development. Dr. Cook is actively involved in federal grants and research that focus on engaging learners and teachers with the community of science through the exploration of socio-scientific inquiry and transdisciplinary STEAM instruction. Dr. Cook co-wrote the Simplifying STEM: Four Equitable Practices to Inspire Meaningful Learning: PreK-5 and 6-12 books published by Corwin in early 2024.
