Description
Leaders in STEM want long-term educational investment. Unfortunately, systemic opportunities for learners talented in science, technology, and engineering are limited in the elementary school. To answer the call, Project STEM Starters, a Javits project, was developed. Project STEM Starters is focused on improving differentiated, content-specific science instruction in the elementary classroom and increasing teacher science content knowledge. The current study reveals preliminary data focused on elementary teachers’ science process skills and knowledge of science content after one year of sustained professional development. This session presents these results and implications.
