STEM Network Schools Project
In partnership with the West Virginia Department of Education and the Education Alliance, MAEC has initiated the STEM Network Schools Project. This initiative was created to support the development of strategic plans to build eight schools’ capacity for improving STEM instruction, especially for girls, and create a positive culture for STEM. The project will focus on the following key areas:
- Conducting an extensive needs assessment of current STEM programs and implementation;
- Providing professional learning opportunities for school based staff to improve instruction in STEM using culturally relevant pedagogy; and
- Developing an evaluation of the project’s impact and effectiveness in gaining access and increasing the quality of STEM instruction and programs.
