STEAM & Robotics Accreditation (SRA)

📌 Purpose: To help schools assess their integration of STEAM disciplines, robotics, and emerging technologies before applying for SRA Accreditation.

💡 Tip: Be honest and thorough. Attach supporting documents for a stronger application!

📍 Section 1: Leadership & Institutional Commitment

  1. 1.Is STEAM and robotics education explicitly stated in your school’s mission or strategic goals?
  2. 2.What institutional policies support investment in innovation, tech infrastructure, and STEAM staffing?
  3. 3.Does the school leadership promote a culture of experimentation, creativity, and future-focused learning?
  4. 4.How does the school engage with tech companies, universities, or STEM organizations?
  5. 5.Are dedicated roles or committees established to oversee robotics and STEAM program development?
  6. 6.What percentage of the school’s annual budget supports STEAM education (equipment, competitions, PD)?
  7. 7.Is innovation recognized and rewarded across faculty and student initiatives?
  8. 8.How are parents and the community involved in supporting STEAM initiatives?
  9. 9.Does your school publish reports or showcase events to highlight student achievements in robotics or engineering?
  10. 10.What long-term sustainability plans exist for expanding or upgrading STEAM and robotics programs?

📍 Section 2: Curriculum, Learning Models & Faculty Development

  1. 11.Do all students have access to a structured STEM curriculum that includes coding, robotics, and engineering design?
  2. 12.How is project-based learning (PBL) used in science, math, and technology instruction?
  3. 13.Are AI, machine learning, and data science concepts introduced at age-appropriate levels?
  4. 14.What types of robotics kits, platforms (e.g., LEGO EV3, VEX, Arduino), and coding languages are integrated?
  5. 15.Does your curriculum include opportunities for students to solve real-world problems with tech tools?
  6. 16.Are teachers certified in STEM fields and trained in robotics, AI, or digital fabrication?
  7. 17.What ongoing professional development is available to educators in STEAM teaching methods?
