What are STEM Teaching Tools?
|
|
|
|
STEM Teaching Tools are short briefs designed to bring together ideas and resources to address common challenges as educators adopt the new vision for science education in the NRC Framework and resulting Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These tools are helping thousands of educators across the country align their teaching with best practices from both research and teaching.
STEM Teaching tools are:
- co-written by researchers and educators.
- easily downloadable as PDFs.
- updated regularly at stemteachingtools.org, with new briefs created in response to educator needs.
