Resources for Educators
A variety of resources can be found on our dedicated pages for educators. The links to the right will take you to curriculum and lesson plans as well as resources for online or blended learning in the time of Covid-19. These range from resources which help teach your students to develop creative problem-solving skills to courses which develop college readiness for students pursuing higher education. All our resources draw upon scientific expertise from across the Academy’s network and will help you deepen STEM knowledge and pedagogical strategies as well as help schools design and improve STEM education using our STEM Education Framework. For those who are Academy members, there are additional exclusive opportunities for Member Schools to request mentorship from real scientists and gain access to special events, workshops and publications.
