By Andy Fell on May 18, 2020
"As schools, parents and students grapple with how to recover from the pandemic, the Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education at the University of California, Davis, is offering free webinars and online professional development for teachers.
The C-STEM Engaged Learning Spotlight webinar series, from 11 to 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday, will highlight experience and accomplishments with the C-STEM Program. Teachers and administrators share their work and outcomes.
May 19: Kenneth Wagner, associate superintendent, and Deepika Srivastava, STEAM and innovation coordinator, Redlands Unified School District, will discuss how they have incorporated C-STEM in grades six-10 to enhance math teaching and provide alternative experiences for students who do not thrive in a traditional math classroom.
May 26: Principal Joe Erven and third-grade teacher Greg Miller, McPherson Magnet School, Orange Unified School District, will talk about the implementation of C-STEM robotics at a STEM focused K-eighth grade magnet school. The school has seen a 72 percent increase in the number of students meeting or exceeding third-grade math SBAC standards over the past four years.
Details and registration are available at the C-STEM Center website. Previous seminars are available on YouTube."
