Partnering Scientists and Teachers: Priming the STEM Pipeline
The panel will discuss first-hand experience with teacher-scientist partnerships and how they can strengthen K-12 STEM education.
Overview
Something powerful happens when teachers and students work side-by-side with scientists and engineers. They come to understand the practice of science and engineering, while scientists and engineers learn to communicate their work in a way that makes sense to the public. These types of partnerships are being recommended by a series of recent legislative initiatives and STEM organizations. Our panel will discuss first-hand experience with teacher-scientist partnerships and how they can strengthen K-12 STEM education.
