The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics ("STEM") to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics ("STEAM") movement has been taking root over the past several years and is surging forward as a positive model of action to truly meet the needs of a 21st century economy.

From October 2019 through June 2020, the City of Miami Beach Commission and Mayor Dan Gelber, in partnership with the Miami- Dade County Public Schools System (M-DCPS), approved funding for the first full academic year of the STEAM Plus program, which integrates arts and culture into the core curriculum of local public schools. This year, The Bass continued to manage partnerships between cultural organizations and Miami Beach public schools, emphasizing the integration of the arts into core subjects such as science, engineering and math, which help public schools attain their STEAM designation. The Bass serves as a bridge between The City of Miami Beach's schools and the partnering institutions, thus alleviating pressure on the STEAM coordinator at each school.Additional support • is also provided by The Bass' manager who is able to work closely with the schools in preparing for their M-DCPS STEAM designation visits, STEAM partnerships, STEAM designation applications and • submissions to ensure they receive a gold, silver, bronze or participant designation. • The 2019-2020 STEAM Plus program added 4 additional cultural partners and 1 additional school. The 11 total cultural organizations • included: The Bass Museum of Art, Hack Shack, Holocaust Memorial, Jewish Museum of South Florida - FlU, MiamiBeachBots, Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, Miami City Ballet, Miami Theater Center, New • World Symphony, Wolfsonian - FIU and Young Musicians Unite. These cultural institutions were paired with a total of 7 Miami Beach public schools: Biscayne Beach Elementary, Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K- 8 Center, Miami Beach Senior High, Nautilus Middle, North Beach • • Elementary, South Pointe Elementary and Treasure Island Elementary. The partnership between Miami's cultural institutions and the city's local public schools create the next generation of inventors, explorers, innovators, artists and leaders.

Technology, Engineering,Art and Math,the STEAM Plus program aims to spark an interest and life-long appreciation of the arts and sciences in children from an early age. Developing a relationship with the arts helps learners to develop creative problem-solving skills, present difficult concepts visually and help children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making,risk-taking and inventiveness. For the 2019-2020 year, the following key items were achieved through the STEAM Pius program: Total Reach * Served 2915 students (about 38% of the student population on Miami Beach) * Facilitated 32 partnerships,serving 121 classrooms/teachers * 451 visits to the schools by professional cultural educators* • Transitioned to online learning in March of 2020 and offered 220 online interactions and other online resources * Provided over 600 hours of instruction from cultural professionals *In this circumstance "visits to school" also includes any online interactions with classrooms. STEAM Designations for 2019-2020 Academic Year: * Biscayne Beach Elementary: Gold (1st year as a Gold STEAM school) * Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K-8: Silver * Miami Beach Nautilus Middle: Gold (1st year as a Gold STEAM school) * Miami Beach Sr.High: Silver * Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary: Gold (1st year as a Gold STEAM school) • * North Beach Elementary: Gold (1st year as a Gold STEAM school) * Treasure Island Elementary: Gold (1st year as a Gold STEAM school) • Page 472 of 2012 Docusign Envelope ID:D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID:C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D r 1ii EXTENDED EVALUATION RESULTS . imillimmillimmillimillmillilloillmillin. - STUDENTS SURVEY RESPONSE During the fall and early spring, a portion of participating students were given paper surveys to fill out at the culmination of their partnership. Due to the pandemic,however, not all organizations were able to get the paper surveys done. In late May,classroom teachers sent out a digital survey to students/parents. In total,we received 257 paper survey responses and 158 online survey responses. Despite the closure of schools,we were able to increase our response rate by 3%, the pilot program garnered a 11% response rate,while the 2019-2020 • program year garnered a 14% response rate.

You have made an impact on the quality of life for the children of Miami Beach and our future citizens. We have been a STEAM designated school for two years during which our students have had ample opportunities to be involved in innovative standards driven STEAM Lessons given by teachers and supported by partnership organizations which enhance the student learning experience. Asthe STEAM Coordinator, I have had a pleasure of working with an amazing group of individuals; not only our teachers,but those individuals that work for our partnerships.I will mention a few. Koren lila from the Bass Museum was always available and facilitated communications with the partnerships. From Miami City Ballet, Melissa Anduiza ensured the program was running smoothly and Anamaria Correa invited our students to a Miami City Ballet Performance.in addition, Or. Rosenfeld organized after school STEM Clubs. Miami Beach Fienberg/Fisher K-8 has benefited from our partnerships. Our students were able to work with local artists at school and during a BASS Museum field trip to develop a STEAM lesson that was displayed at the BASS Museum for parents and the community to see. Our middle school students worked with Young Musicians Unite to create music not only by playing the instruments but also using digital audio workstations.The Miami City Ballet not only merged dance with learning through STEAM Lessons but also allowed the opportunity for students to go on a field trip to see a performance and then perform at school. All these activities and others not mentioned have contributed to the success of our school. We have moved from bronze to sliver designation. We continue to make strides to Improve our students cultural and academic experiences. We are currently in changing times; the pandemic has affected the way we are teaching our students. As we move forward this school year,we will have to make adaptations in orderto ensure we continue to provide a high level of education to our students during online learning. We will benefit from programs that provide cultural and virtual experiences for our students. Please continue to support our schools through partnerships like the Bass Museum of Art,Young Musicians Unite, Holocaust Memorial, the Perez Art Museum,and Miami City Ballet.

These activities allow students and teachers to be involved in various adventures,peak new interests,and grow into well-rounded citizens. It also allows everyone to be involved in our community and the beautiful things it has to offer. Many students have never seen the Miami City Ballet perform nor experienced the Bass or Jewish Museum. The partnership between our school community and the STEAM Plus program is absolutely invaluable and we appreciate all that is offered to us. The partnership between the Bass Museum and the third-grade family was incredible. They made each event engaging, exciting,and well informative. Koren Ilia constantly communicated with staff to ensure that all accommodations for students were met and everyone could be actively involved in the project. The museum staff worked diligently to include topics that are in our curriculum,as well as,our International Baccalaureate program so that students may extend their knowledge on what they are learning in class. This year's project involved was an activity to create a kinetic chariot sculpture using Sphere's to teach students through STEAM. Students learned basic coding with the Sphero as an engine and designed their own chariots to carry a specified item from one place to another. Although Covid-19 derailed our plans this year,it was on the calendar for students to be able to bring their families to the museum to see their creations. Alexander 7astera was one of the museum facilitators involved with my classroom. I cannot say enough about his amazing personality,his ability to teach my students,and his overall demeanor. Many of my students academically struggle and Alex did wonders with them during all of our meetings together. My students were always engaged and he helped them build the confidence to create something out of nothing. We appreciate all of his hardwork and dedication to the STEAM Plus program. Thank you again for the amazing opportunity to learn and have hands-on experiences. These are priceless experiences for our students. We look forward to next year's activities.

With the help of Ms.Koren Illa,the program manager,we have established valuable partnerships with the Bass Museum,the Miami City Ballet,and the Jewish Museum of South Florida. Each of these institutions facilitated field trips and in-school experiences that went beyond the traditional curriculum,sparking students' creativity and critical thinking through real-world experiences. With the help of the STEAM +Program, our teachers have also been able to expand the ways in which they engage students in project-based learning that infuses the core subjects of math and science with art,technology,and engineering. As the school's lB Coordinator and Lead Teacher,I worked in close partnership with Mrs. Carolyn Greene,our STEAM Liaison,to ensure that we were fully implementing all aspects of the STEAM program to meet designation criteria.We both saw first hand how much work this truly entails, and how lucky we are to have the support of the City of Miami Beach STEAM + program, as well as Ms. lila,who has done a fantastic job coordinating and is truly a pleasure to work with. Again,we thank you for your ongoing support,and we hope that with your help,we will continue to expand our STEAM program at Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary to once again earn a Gold Designation for the 2020-2021 school year!

My students gained valuable knowledge about the history and use of stained glass in buildings,the science behind the creation of stained glass and the art skills required for such artistic creations.My students participated in an art project that was very interactive and hands-on. Each student designed their own stained glass while gaining knowledge about geometry and geometric patterns and learned about the different shades of translucency.Moreover,the interactions involved rich discussions with the instructor, Karen,and the students were engaged in collaborative group work which allowed them to continue developing social skills while learning together. Based on my students' feedback after the completion of the S.T.E.A.M.project with the Jewish Museum,they felt very motivated and engaged,and they definitely would love to do it again.Through this interaction,the students enriched their knowledge and developed new perceptions about the world around them.It is interactions like these that help teachers and students maintain high-level learning environments where students can make connections to real world situations. Here are some comments shared by some of my 4u grade students: "My experience at the Jewish Museum was great(It was fun seeing the stained-glass and learning about the history of the Jewish people.I also liked when we made our own stained-glass project.This experience was one-of-a-kind and created great memories with me and my classmates."-John "The Steam Program made me more interested in science and helped me and my classmates work together in order to better become problem solvers.The steam projects helped me understand and use technology. I had never used so much technology before. I also loved working with my hands as I did with the erosion project and the energy project."-Brooklynn "Last school year I visited the Jewish Museum of Florida,it is located close to my school. My favorite part was when I learned about stained glass,specifically when is colored and cut into pieces which form a larger picture. I enjoyed working with my friends in doing the stained-glass project and learning about the science of making stained glass."-Colin Sincerely, Al Lawrence,4th Grade Teacher Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary School Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary School• 1 L •.600 i.t .f 4iemi Beach, FL 33139•Jorge Mazon,Principal 305531-5437.305-532 ..96( A}Q•soulhpointedolphins.crg 21 Docusign Envelope ID:D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D STEAM + PROGRAM at the Jewish Museum of Florida-Fill Working at the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU for the STEAM + Program has been a very fulfilling experience as both an artist and a teacher. I believe in the power of art integration, and the STEAM + Program Is an excellent opportunity to promote it for both the institutions leading these initiatives and the participating schools. The benefits of instituting STEAM programs and lessons have been proven to help children learn better. Students learn in different ways, and by introducing them to the arts we are opening different ways of thinking, opening new perspectives, and providing them with tools to imagine different kinds of solutions. Additionally, it creates opportunities for local talent to partner with institutions and students, creating a unique collaboration that stimulates the local art scene. As an artist, it has always been important to me to contribute to the community,and participating in this program gives me the opportunity to share my passion for art by working with minds of ail ages and backgrounds. My approach to art is centered around unity, healing, and mending - creating a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. These are the same principles I apply to teaching. For this project with the Jewish Museum, we focused on stained glass windows, a theme that was adapted to different subjects in order to fulfill the standards of each institution. Each lesson plan was tailored to different age groups, which allowed me to. create art projects specially designed to meet the desired goals. Our programs took place in three different educational institutions - South Pointe Elementary School, Nautilus Middle School, and North Beach Elementary School. At South Pointe Elementary School, fourth-graders explored the intersection of science and art behind glass- making. They were tasked with creating their very own miniature stained glass windows out of pieces of colored glass in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. First, they received a printed grid on a piece of paper, and they worked on developing their design with colored pencils. Some students created patterns and other more representational images. After their designs were made, the students glued the pieces of glass onto a plexigiass sheet, and finally they added a frame in order to be able to hang it on a window. The students were very responsive to the lessons and really excited about the creative project.They were eager to learn about the science, materials, and tools used to cut and color glass, and the art project offered them a different way Page 484 of 2012 22 Docusign Envelope ID: D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1 E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D `f J of thinking and approaching a theme. The teachers were accommodating and supportive and also seemed to enjoy the activity very much. At Nautilus Middle School, 6th-grade students learned about stained glass in the context of US History and its function as a historical record. The presentation was based on the Importance of stained glass windows throughout history as a way of representing a symbol and communicating narratives. We used several examples of stained glass windows that have an American History thematic. As a project, they had to find a symbol that represents the US history for them, trace it onto a Polyester film sheet that they would later paint. it was extremely satisfying and fulfilling to be able to see students motivated and eager to participate in an art project. By painting historical events such as a battle or a war, students(especially those who respond better to visual images)had the opportunity to study detailed historic images closely, making it easier for them to understand the general atmosphere of the scene. It is often details and engaging activities such as these which make a difference in a student's ability to retain the information. For North Beach Elementary, the project was based on third-grade geometry, specifically geometric shapes in different categories, recognizing different quadrilaterals, and fractions. We started the project by teaching them about different geometric shapes and categories and their presence in our day-to-day lives, later transitioning to the geometry involved in stained glass windows. Similar to South Pointe Elementary, for their project, North Beach students develop their own design on a printed grid using colored pencils. The design uses rhombus that would form different kinds of shapes by applying the knowledge of fractions. Upon completing their design, they would later glue glass pieces onto a plexiglass sheet, and eventually, add a frame In order to be able to hang it on a window. Overall the STEAM + Program was an absolute success among students,who were very excited and responsive to the lessons. By creating different ways to approach a theme, students were pushed outside of their comfort zones and discovered new ways of thinking. Learning through art makes it easier for some children to absorb knowledge, they may remember more details, or interpret what they learn differently. As a teacher and art lover, there is no better feeling than seeing passion and curiosity for art ignite in students,and being a resource to help them navigate art as a gateway of self-expression. - Jewish Museum of FL - Teaching Artist Testimonial From Karla Kantorovich Page 485 of 2012 23 Docusign Envelope ID:D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID.C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D - D !1AILED: PARTIPAT1ON INFORMATION BY SCHOOL BISCAYNE BEACH ELEMENTARY • • 2019-2020 STEAM Designation: GOLD .:{�_ Past STEAM Designations: BRONZE (2017-2018), SILVER (2018 - 2019) •i • t • ,, ,,,, , � v _ STUDENTS SERVED INTERACTIONS TEACHER/CLASS ROOMS SERVED 340 31 16 • GRADE LEVELS THAT PARTICIPATED: K 1st 2nd 3rd 5th PARTNERS The Bass Museum of Art (K) Miami Beach Bots (3rd) Miami City Ballet (1st) Miami Beach Botanical Gardens (1st) Docusign Envelope ID: D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 )ocusign E nvelope ID:C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D DA1 L E D PARTIPATION INFORMATION BY SCHOOL MIAMI BEACH FIENBERG FISHER K-8 4-" y� 2019-2020 STEAM Designation: SILVEWt g Past STEAM Designations: BRONZE (2018 - 2019) itaismiot • sill,,., 14 ,1 EP � v _ STUDENTS SERVED INTERACTIONS TEACHER/CLASS ROOMS SERVED 345 123 14 • GRADE LEVELS THAT PARTICIPATED: K 2nd . 6th 7th 8th PARTNERS The Bass Museum of Art (2nd) Holocaust Memorial (7th) Miami City Ballet (K) Young Musicians Unite (6th & 8th) Docusign Envelope ID:D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID:C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D GE D ETA I L E D- PA RTI M PATIO N IN FORMATION BY SCHOOL MIAMI BEACH NAUTILUS MIDDLE r `� .rfr z_ :. r: \fig. 2019-2020 STEAM Designation: GOLD ?• • 4:r Past STEAM Designations: SILVER -.f Yt-.-' • (2018 - 2019) ^ t • .... ..„ Mfl fir_ O STUDENTS SERVED INTERACTIONS TEACHER/CLASS ROOMS SERVED 347 70 12 • ,.. •.

BACKG_ROU N DI HISTO RY In January 2008, the City of Miami Beach entered into an Education Compact with Miami- Dade County Public Schools to enhance learning opportunities for youth. The Compact reflects the desire of the Miami Beach community to support excellence in the City's public schools and currently addresses and supports the following priority areas: Teacher Recruitment/Retention; Communication; Parental Involvement/Family Support; Youth and Community Engagement; Health and Well-Being; Student Achievement; Safety; and Technology. On April 15, 2015, the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2015-28997, which directed the Administration to expand the Compact to address the following areas: Early Learning; Extracurricular/Choice Offerings;and Afterschool Programming. On January 16, 2019 the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2019- 30690, authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a grant agreement with the Friends of the Bass Museum, Inc. for the implementation of a Beta Test for a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Plus program with all six Miami Beach public schools (kindergarten - 12th grade) and six local cultural institutions. The program is referred to as a STEAM Plus initiative and is intended to inspire students to engage and prepare in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics to work with cultural anchors to infuse theatre, visual arts, dance, and music in traditional class offerings. The "Plus" component of the STEAM Plus initiative is the City's program to promote career Page 459 of 1588 Docusign Envelope ID:D45BDC64-6B54-459A-8A99-530FF1E8DC67 Docusign Envelope ID C17ABCEE-2112-4843-A03C-10616CFEAF2D and college readiness.
