Everyday STEM for Little Sprouts –
ON-DEMAND Teacher Workshop

5 Hours of Professional Development Credit for Pre-K through Grade 2 Educators

Everyday STEM® for Little Sprouts is the on-demand version of the early childhood workshop that state departments, Head Start programs, and early childhood associations bring Steve Spangler in to deliver. Same workshop, built for Pre-K through Grade 2. Now your teachers can take it for $299 each and earn 5 hours of PD credit, on their own schedule, without a travel budget or a substitute.

It’s a real professional development experience, not a video library. Every activity is inquiry-based, standards-aligned, and built on the C.C.C.O.M. approach to science: count, compare, classify, observe, measure. Steve models each one the way a teacher would actually run it, then sends a hands-on kit to the door so they can do it alongside the videos.

Discover how to bridge the gap between literacy and hands-on science with story-driven STEM/STEAM strategies from Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor. Dr. Diane reveals her proven Read-Connect-Play-Reflect framework, designed to connect early childhood and elementary literacy development with hands-on STEAM learning through creative picture book and STEAM pairings. Learn how to use interactive read-alouds as the launchpad for Steve Spangler inspired science demonstrations and STEM challenges that playfully foster curiosity, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

• Access 5 hours of professionally recorded content from Steve Spangler on the set of his television show.
• Work through more than 20 kid-tested activities built around children’s literature and designed for Pre-K through Grade 2 hands and attention spans.
• Learn the C.C.C.O.M. approach to inquiry, helping young children count, compare, classify, observe, and measure.
• See how a single picture book becomes a science investigation, and how to use the storyline to introduce and reinforce your science curriculum.

Easy to Follow Learning Modules

A four-year-old points at the picture book and asks why the wolf couldn’t blow the brick house down. That’s not story time anymore. That’s force, structure, and which materials hold up under pressure, and she got there on her own. Knowing what to do in the next sixty seconds is the whole job. That’s what these modules hand you.

Each activity starts with a piece of children’s literature your teachers already know. Picture books, folk tales, fairy tales, and the fractured versions kids love. The story raises a question. The question turns into an investigation a young child can actually do. Steve models every one the way you’d run it in a real classroom, then deconstructs it so your teachers understand the science underneath and can answer the next ten questions a curious four-year-old throws at them.

The whole course is self-paced. A teacher can watch a module at the kitchen table on Sunday and run the activity at circle time on Monday. New to teaching science or twenty years in, they move at their own speed and keep access for a full year.

BONUS Module: Story-Driven STEAM with Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor

We’ve added a self-contained module to the course from Dr. Diane Jackson Schnoor, an early childhood literacy specialist whose work focuses on the exact connection most Pre-K and K-2 teachers tell us they wish they had: how to take a great picture book and turn it into hands-on science. Her framework pairs naturally with what Steve teaches in the rest of the workshop, and it’s included with every registration.
