Exploring Teaching and Learning in STEM

This introductory course offers undergraduate students an opportunity to explore the teaching profession through the lens of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Designed for students considering a career in secondary science, technology, engineering, or mathematics education, the course combines engaging, research-based instruction with hands-on teaching experience. Participants work in pairs to design and deliver inquiry-based STEM lessons in local middle school classrooms, with a strong emphasis on lesson planning, student engagement, and reflective practice. Through a blend of theory and fieldwork, students gain valuable insights into the complexities and rewards of teaching, while developing foundational skills that support effective instruction and classroom leadership.
