​What exactly are STEM School Labels?

Based on a school’s STEM strategy and other factors evaluated through the self-assessment process involved in applying for the STEM Label, you can achieve the following labels :
​
  1. Competent STEM Label: minimal practice of STEM School strategy                                                           →
  2. Proficient STEM Label: more advanced approach to     a STEM School strategy                                          →
  3. Expert STEM Label: outstanding practice for all  criteria of a STEM School strategy                          →

        INTERESTED???
