Virtual Event: Exploring Emergent Trends in STEM Education Amidst Distance Learning

Representatives from UChicago STEM will share lessons learned on how to advance STEM education outreach and programming in a virtual environment.

The University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration and Urban Education Institute are hosting a virtual professional development series designed to help teachers navigate the unique challenges that have emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic.

This seven-part series is open to all interested in implementing innovative teaching practices, facilitate meaningful conversations about race and social justice, and promote resilience and self-care in their students’ lives as well as their own. The series will feature experts in the fields of social work, trauma-informed teaching, school organization, and STEM education. Recommended practices will be compatible with both virtual and in-person learning settings and teachers in Illinois who participate in one or more sessions will earn Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDU) credits through the University of Chicago Urban Teacher Education Program (UChicago UTEP).
