STEAM Teacher Training
The STEAM Teacher Training course is designed for STEAM educators across all fields who aim to create a multidisciplinary, student-centered learning experience. This intensive program is offered as a two-week, 32-hour in-person course or a 20-hour online course. The curriculum encompasses four main modules: STEAM Lesson Planning, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Effective Feedback in Experiential Learning, and Teacher Development Workshops.
This interactive program embodies its principles, offering a hands-on, experiential learning experience guided by UDL. Participants will learn to use a lesson planning framework that integrates experiential learning with UDL guidelines, continuously honing their skills through reflective sessions. The course includes practical workshops where participants deliver student-centered content to peers and receive feedback in guided reflection sessions.
