This dissertation investigates the educators' perceived impact of receiving a STEAM certification implementing STEAM education. This research stems from the foundation of the disparity between researchers agreeing that support for STEAM professional development should be continuous (e.g., Myunghee et al., 2013; Quigley & Herro, 2016; So et al., 2018) but having scant research on models of professional development that increase teachers' implementation of STEAM education among other researchers. A STEAM implementation survey was created to quantitatively gather data regarding factors involved in STEAM education implementation. Eighty-six participants of educators of various backgrounds from one school district completed the survey. Participants completed the surveys online. Results revealed that "Teaching Understanding of Math Practices, Integrating Understanding of Crosscutting Concepts, Promoting Underserved Groups in STEAM, Using Processes to Encourage Students to Be Creative and Express Themselves, Teaching Students to Interpret Information Through Science and Engineering Practices, Teaching Students to Use Models and Investigations Through Science and Engineering Practices, Using Storytelling to Anchor Lessons, Using Phenomena to Interest Students, Collaboration Through Technology, Collaborating with Leadership on STEAM, and Teaching Students to Use Data Through Science and Engineering Practices" are significant factors for STEAM-certified educators. Furthermore, content analysis of free-response questions revealed the following themes: "Educators Integrate STEAM Instruction to Engage Students in Learning," "Educators Are Intentional to Develop Student and Teacher Skillsets in Multiple Ways," "Educators Use Inclusive Practices to Increase Access to Underserved Populations," and "Reasons Provided for Not Teaching STEAM Education."
