3-4:30 pm CST
In this webinar, CEMSE and Battelle Center staff will present current their research work on describing and measuring the presence of STEM school models. They will reference the schools featured in the earlier webinars to highlight some of the commonalities and differences across STEM schools and share in depth a data visualization tool they have created to represent the "critical components" of STEM schools. Participants will be encouraged to ask specific questions and share some of their own school critical components, as well as their experiences and ideas about the current and future direction of STEM schools.
Presenters include:
Jeanne Century, CEMSE, University of Chicago
Courtney Heppner, Battelle Center, Ohio State University
