To develop STEM talent, high ability students need programs that provide rigorous articulation of multiple elements– curriculum, instruction, assessment, creativity, and more. Ideally, a differentiated STEM educational program should begin during elementary school and continue seamlessly through secondary education with an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Participants will learn about specific elements critical to the design and implementation of STEM programs for advanced students and application to local settings. Cutting edge discussion of best practices for delivering STEM education will be shared. Genre Learning Comment by Brie I wish I had access to the resources Bronwyn talks about.
