Remove the FEAR of Teaching STEM
Let’s face it, many early childhood teachers are apprehensive or even afraid to teach STEM because no one has ever given them teaching strategies that really work. With over 25 years of experience, Steve Spangler is the perfect person to help your teachers unlock their potential and uncover new possibilities for creating discovery-filled experiences that really work.
Science Standards & More
Each activity featured in the workshop helps teach the basic skills of science inquiry – to count, compare, classify, observe and measure (the C.C.C.O.M. approach). Steve deconstructs every experience to give teachers the strategies for presenting the literature in a way that provokes questions in the minds of the children, and then teaches them how to build the science connection that invites children to ask even more questions. Multiply that by 20 and you’re in for an amazing day of learning.
