The Sargent Center Launches Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Initiative

The Sargent Center School has announced the launch of a comprehensive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum. It is believed to be the first of its kind specifically designed to introduce STEM curriculum to students with disabilities in a non-public certified special education program in Rhode Island. 

The idea of introducing a STEM curriculum into the Sargent Center School programs was the vision of Prasha Sarwate, Sargent Center Board Member, and founder and CEO of Believe in Your Brilliance, LLC. The program used a City of Warwick Contributive Grant for startup investment. The new program is designed to enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on science activities, and create student-centered learning experiences, empowering students to explore, innovate, and develop essential skills.

In support of this initiative, the Sargent Center has invested in two exceptional curriculum products: Generation Genius – a curriculum that aligns with science standards and integrates engaging lessons, interactive activities, and educational videos to facilitate student learning; and Amplify Science – a program that seamlessly integrates the four STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math, to offer a holistic learning experience. 

STEM curriculum allows educators to reinforce social and emotional learning through lessons that develop skills like communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking, while also providing students with opportunities to grow in these areas in preparation for their future careers. Sargent Center is a leader in providing access to opportunities for students with disabilities.
