ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the aerial view to consider planning the infrastructure design and review for programmatic, curricular, and instructional features of cohesive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational services. Planning and delivering the infrastructure of a comprehensive STEM program is instrumental in the talent development of advanced learners. To address the concern for STEM education in general, a variety of STEM programs are in use at the secondary level among regular education settings, and at the postsecondary level. Furthermore, these experts have reiterated the need for programs to be designed with a continuum of learning goals and plans to address the cognitive and socio-emotional needs of advanced learners. In the next section, the use of a curriculum model in a program for advanced learners is discussed. Referencing quality teacher assessment instruments and tools specific to STEM education can provide important information to educators when examining personnel and pro-grammatic performance.
