2024 AAEA Summer Conference

Join an interactive panel of administrators whose schools implemented the STEM Starters program to explore the positive effects it has for their teachers and their students. Through collaboration, classroom teachers and gifted and talented facilitators deliver accelerated and enriched STEM instruction that results in science achievement gains and engineering knowledge for students and confidence in teaching science and engineering for educators. The innovative, cost-effective curricular units developed through funding from the National Science Foundation and the U. S. Department of Education engage students, empower teachers, and assist schools in locating and developing academic talents. Whether your district is small or large, STEM Starters professional learning moves the needle for schools. Panelists share their stories and respond to your questions.
