MAGNA, Utah — Less than a year after Granite School District relaunched Magna Elementary as Magna STEAM Academy, school leaders say they are seeing improvements in attendance, behavior and reading. Third grade teacher Lalani Warr says students often carry challenges into the classroom. They don’t want to leave, they’ll come to school and they’re like, 'I don’t want to go home,’" Warr explained. The new STEAM model uses science, technology, engineering, arts, and math to teach core subjects through hands-on learning. The school’s STEAM model is supported by the Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program, which pairs arts educators with classroom teachers to weave art into core lessons.
