STEAM EDUCATION (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics)
An integrated teaching approach that combines learning outcomes from multiple subjects.
Through thoughtful, hands-on creative experiences, participants discover their unique voice, strengthen their sense of identity, and develop practical competencies.
Our programmes are intentionally designed to foster critical thinking, visual literacy skills, practical competencies and personalised growth. Teachers gain arts-based techniques to aid learning in the classroom environment (all subjects).
Integrated learning tools (video presentations, posters and lesson plans) that promote your content while simultaneously encouraging the development of literacy skills among learners.
See Khula Vets and Edu-Change Playbook for more details
“Teaching is my true passion and calling. I have had the privilege of working with schools in England, Taiwan, Grahamstown, Kenton-on-sea and Port Elizabeth. I have learned that children retain more knowledge and extend their intellectual functioning further when they are engaged in a topic. Learning should be an experience that allows for both content competence and skills development.”
