Sharing Best Practices for the Classroom

“

This experience has already greatly impacted the support for my students. They are able to conduct projects and experiments I didn’t think would be possible because of limitations, and we can take project ideas further just by some of the knowledge I gained at the conference.”

The Society brought together STEM teach- ers from across the country to share tech- niques that proved beneficial in their own classrooms and communities. For the fifth year in a row, the Society welcomed 200 high school educators to the High School Research Teachers Conference, sponsored by Regeneron. Building on the success of that program, the Society launched its first Middle School Research Teachers Con- ference, supported by the Department of Defense STEM and Broadcom Foundation.
