Engaged STEM Learning: From Promising to Pervasive Practices
AAC&U and Burroughs Wellcome Fund offer Five K-16 Team-Based Conference Grants
Overview
Through a generous contribution of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, AAC&U is pleased to offer conference grants for five teams from North Carolina, each consisting of one K-12 science or mathematics teacher and one college/university science or mathematics instructor to attend the Engaged STEM Learning: From Promising to Pervasive Practices conference.
The conference is designed for participants who wish to develop faculty and institutional leadership in STEM reform, broaden student participation and success in STEM fields, better assess engaged STEM learning in both the majors and general education, and connect the revitalization of STEM learning with ongoing campus work. These grants are designed to strengthen the K-16 pipeline by encouraging conversation and cooperation between schools and post-secondary education.
