EWU receives grant to prepare STEM teachers
Tuesday, October 11, 2016
Eastern Washington University is part of a statewide $3 million collaboration grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help improve the next generation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) teacher-preparation programs in Washington.
Multiple state partners will work together to anticipate and identify the needs and challenges future teachers will face and provide effective support for those teachers.
"The unique collaborative nature of this project will allow us to share our expertise so we can impact future STEM teachers, and their students, across the state," says Kathryn Baldwin, an assistant professor of science education at EWU and one of the principal investigators.
Baldwin says each partner institution brings a specific strength to this project, and this shared expertise will make a bigger impact. Read more.
