Pipeline• The pipeline to STEM careers often
starts early• Many students never consider
STEM• Many who consider STEM change
their minds

The Learning Challenge • Only ~16% of US high
school seniors are proficient in math and science
• ~40% of U.S. students who enter college with declared STEM majors, switch majors.
• If Pre-Med students are counted, ~60% leave STEM fields Christopher Drew,

The Problem
• Increase the supply of talented STEM professionals• Teaching and learning STEM is
difficult• High quality graduates are
needed• The goal: Increase access to STEM education
![Page 10: Preparing STEM Educators for 21st Century Classroomsnahar/leap/irving-leap19.pdf · for 21st Century Classrooms Karen E. Irving, Ph.D. College of Education and Human Ecology.

Good Teaching Matters
• Schools and universities need strong STEM teaching• Faculty development is an
imperative, not a luxury• Academic role models are critical to
sustainable faculty development• Intentional teaching is based on how
people learn

Preparing to Teach STEM
• Teachers of K-12 students receive preparation.• BSED program• MED program
• STEM professors receive little preparation beyond being students.

Science of Teaching & Learning
• If you want to know how to help people learn, you should know something about how learning works.
• If you want to be an effective teacher, you should know what works in the classroom.
