10 Myths About Teaching STEM Books and How You Can Teach STEM in Your Classroom Now
STEM Friday participated in the 2015 Summer of Learning professional development series at Share My Lesson . This free AFT webinar offers one hour of professional development credit. The Teach Stem Now webcast was recorded on July 9, 2015 and will be active for a full year. Thanks to the wonders of technology, your new responses to the webinar will be added to the replies of the previous participants.
Join Lee & Low Books and Anastasia Suen, Founder of the STEM Friday blog and award-winning children’s book author, for a dynamic discussion on how to teach STEM in your classroom. Look at persistent myths about teaching STEM, explore the intersection of STEM and English Language Arts, and reexamine what makes a great STEM read aloud. Learn how to discover the right STEM book and hands-on activities for your students’ interests and learning needs. In this interactive webinar, we will cover strategies on inspiring and supporting underrepresented groups in STEM as well as how to differentiate for special populations. At the end of the presentation, you will have strategies you can apply immediately to your classroom and resources for further exploration.
