Modernizing High School Science Curriculum Panel
Educators are increasingly encouraged to update the learning experiences in their classrooms. This includes more attention to STEM learning, such as promoting the integration of technology and science instruction into everyday classroom experiences, and implementing pedagogical frameworks like open-ended inquiry learning and project-based learning that often mirror the work real professionals engage in. Join two high school STEM educators, Elizabeth Romano, Ph.D. and Robert Gotwals for a conversation on how modernizing high school curriculum with educational technology can help explain difficult concepts with digital learning, contribute to the transfer of scientific understandings, and increase students’ overall sense of identity in science.
