ImmersiveÌýProfessional Development STEM Experiences

CU Science 91ÖÆÆ¬³§¹ú²úAVy’s ImmersiveÌýProfessional Development STEM Experiences are a unique PD model featuring day-long, activity-based programs for teams composed of oneÌýteacher and five students. Teachers and students (grades 4-8) work side-by-side, allowing teachers to observe students’ interaction with inquiry and innovation-driven activities grounded in standards-based content.ÌýThese PD Experiences feature three interconnected modules on a specific science, engineering or pedagogical theme that:

  • Combine to provide aÌýfull-dayÌýof engaging, tactile STEM learning and activities
  • Share new, standards-based activities, skills and technologies
  • Develop inquiry, innovation, engineering design and/or science process skills
  • Bring the best of cutting-edge science and pedagogy from the 91ÖÆÆ¬³§¹ú²úAV
  • Supply program resources, curricula and CDE/NGSS standards correlations
  • Provide a certificate documenting 5 hours of professional development
