Join Schools Plus and STEM education expert Scott Sleap for a conversation on teaching in our rapidly evolving learning environment.
The events of 2020 have reignited conversations about the dynamic future and workforce for which young people will need to be prepared… Inherently this places a spotlight on learning and teaching and the importance of educators creating opportunities in STEM Education and digital capabilities. As a result of COVID, blended learning and teaching approaches have been an essential skill for all teachers in our schools.
Visionary educator and 2020 Commonwealth Bank Teaching Award recipient, Dr Scott Sleap, has been leading the Academies of STEM Excellence – an exciting, collaborative initiative designed to improve STEM expert knowledge in learning communities across NSW, engaging teachers in future-focused learning and teaching practice and assist teachers to engage and inspire a passion for STEM in their students.
Please join us to:
- learn more about the Academies of STEM Excellence and the broader STEM Industry School Partnerships program
- explore how blended learning approaches can be used to support current learning and teaching challenges
- walk through practical steps to build partnerships
- look at the highly successful case study of excellence on virtual learning
Scott is joined by Wendy Bode from the Queensland Virtual Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Academy (QVSA), who shares a case study of the QVSA program focused on delivering enrichment and enhancement programs focusing on current, real-world science, technology, engineering and mathematic challenges and research.
