This approach aligns with the California Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations (PTKLF) and the Common Core Standards and has been shown to engage students and allow them to use both left and right-brained thinking in the same exercise. This certificate provides a strong research-based curricular foundation with immediate practical classroom applications. Additionally, the STEAM certificate can be used towards earning professional growth hours for the child development permit.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Demonstrate a knowledge basis of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) within early childhood.\n2.  Recognize current knowledge, skills, and resources related to STEAM and apply those skills in a classroom setting."
