About this Unit
This unit develops in-service teachers’ knowledge and skills in the application of mathematics and science in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines. The unit content and assessments are designed to (1) build teachers’ foundational skills in science/mathematics, and (2) build teachers’ professional skills in the implementation of science/mathematics in their classrooms. A particular focus of the unit is how science/mathematics can be used to authentically integrate curriculum content from across the different STEM disciplines through inquiry- and problem-based learning, with the ultimate aim of enhancing student engagement and achievement in the STEM disciplines.
