At EiE, we know that families play an essential role in education, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and computer science. Check out these findings about the importance of family involvement and engagement in a child’s learning.

As we settle into the new school year, we’re excited to share our top tips for returning to your classroom and establishing effective learning goals. Make the most of your STEM classroom for you and your students! Check out the following list of support tips, including some from former educators on the EiE team:

Monday, September 19th marks the beginning of National Coding Week, promoting tech skills and tech education in the workplace and schools. National Coding Week was founded in 2014 by former headteacher Richard Rolfe and tech entrepreneur Jordan Love with the intent of encouraging all people to learn new digital skills. During the observed week, STEM educators and computer science professionals focus on promoting coding and digital literacy to everybody in a fun and engaging way. This year’s theme spotlights how learning new digital skills can help solve problems for ourselves, others and society.

As educators, we want to teach our lessons in the most effective way to ensure our learners retain and understand what they’re learning. But we also want to make sure students are engaged and interested in their work, because we know everyone has their own specific needs when it comes to their personal learning style.  

As part of our ongoing mission to bring high-quality, equitable STEM learning to students everywhere, Diana Christopherson, one of EiE^®’s Professional Development Managers, has just returned from a trip to Nome, Alaska supporting a training opportunity for local STEM educators.
