There are now only three classes in the STEPs program:
 
bullet Project-Based Learning & Technology

The classes must be taken in order. Each class is divided into units that focus on specific standards and skills. When you sign up in MyLearningPlan, you will sign up for an entire class (five units) at once that includes MULTIPLE MEETING DATES or that meets online.
