The Texas Education Agency is providing a three-day professional development to prepare teachers for the successful implementation of STEM instruction in their classrooms by immersing them directly in the role of STEM learner, engaging firsthand in high-impact STEM practices such as project-based learning, design-based challenges, and computational thinking. To better understand the role STEM plays in education, educators will make connections between the Texas STEM framework, STEM fluency skills, and contemporary workforce demands. Most importantly, educators will begin the work of embedding these STEM strategies into what matters most - their daily work with students. This session is planned for in-person attendance with social distancing and sanitization practices in place. This session could move to a virtual environment depending on the circumstances at the scheduled time.
