Multi STEM Approach
The Multi STEM approach to professional development was a product of design-based implementation research with funding from a National Science Foundation ITEST grant #1615193. The program name and approach is based on the convergence concept: multi-directional exchanges of knowledge by stakeholders; multi-disciplinary connected learning; multi-tiered learning at every opportunity; and multiplying its impact through ongoing network building by educators and professional developers.
All Multi STEM workshops include an emphasis on hands-on learner-centered activities, science-based cross-disciplinary learning, ample time for small group discussion and collaborative planning, and a focus on depth over breadth. The aim of Multi’s approach is promoting STEM equity pedagogies that cultivate teacher and student competence and confidence in doing authentic science.
