Professional Learning

We are dedicated to ensuring equity in STEM education through robust professional learning opportunities. We recognize that access to high-quality professional development is essential for educators to engage and inspire students in STEM disciplines effectively. Our approach prioritizes equity, providing resources and support to educators across diverse learning environments.

Our professional learning initiatives are designed to address equity gaps in STEM education. By offering inclusive and accessible training programs, we aim to empower educators to create equitable learning environments where all students have the opportunity to thrive. From curriculum development to classroom instruction, our resources and support prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

As we move past the piloting phase of our digital badging initiative, educators can expect to see more professional learning experiences addressing the needs identified by our Cohort participants. These initiatives will focus on equipping educators with the skills and resources necessary to effectively integrate digital badges into their teaching practices and support students in earning and showcasing their achievements.

STEM Experience Playbook

Central to our professional learning offerings is the STEM Experience Playbook, a comprehensive resource featuring a free curriculum organized into various themes based on grade level and interest. This playbook serves as a valuable tool for educators seeking to implement engaging STEM experiences in their classrooms or informal learning settings. We provide consulting, training, and ongoing support to help educators effectively utilize the playbook and tailor STEM instruction to meet the needs of their students.

Consulting and Training

In addition to the STEM Experience Playbook, we offer consulting, training, and support to educators, curriculum coordinators, and district leaders. Our team of experienced STEM professionals provides personalized guidance and assistance to carry out STEM programs and initiatives aligned with the goals of our ecosystem partners. Whether it’s designing curriculum, implementing best practices, or evaluating program effectiveness, we are committed to supporting educators every step of the way.

Diverse Professional Learning Experiences

We offer dozens of professional learning experiences tailored to the needs of both teachers and informal educators. Our offerings cover a wide range of topics, from inquiry-based learning to technology integration, ensuring that educators have access to relevant and impactful training opportunities.
