Quarto Group Inc (LON:QRT) has launched its new Quarto STEAM initiative in support of the movement to elevate the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics through an integrated and varied curriculum.
Quarto STEAM provides books and learning materials through 25 dedicated collections and educational resources for educators and parents, which will help kids gain confidence, fuel their curiosity and learn in fun, innovative ways.
Each Quarto STEAM collection will be grouped by units of study, incorporate guided reading levels and will be aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Accompanying each collection will be a Teacher’s Guide, which will tackle essential questions around each STEAM category and provide book suggestions and activities for teachers to use both in and out of the classroom.
Overall, the collection will launch with 170 books from Quarto’s catalogue, curated and vetted by an educational expert and range in grades/curriculum levels from Pre-K to Grade 8. Quarto STEAM is being introduced to the industry for the first time today at ALA 2017 in Chicago – the American Library Association’s Annual Conference and Exhibition – and is also available on the Group’s website quartoknows.com/steam.
Marcus Leaver, Chief Executive of The Quarto Group commented:
It’s our mission to enrich, entertain and educate adults and kids around the world by publishing fantastic books and content. For a global publisher like Quarto, supporting STEAM learning more formally is a natural evolution, to address and meet the challenges of an ever-evolving, experiential society.
