Coaching and Professional Learning Opportunity: Facilitating STEM Learning by Asking Purposeful Questions
Questions are the beginning of a path towards discovery, imagination, and STEM exploration. How can we help youth expand and clarify their thinking and develop their reasoning through the questions we ask them? This module is designed for educators who have some experience facilitating STEM learning and would like to grow in their practice within a supportive group of other educators. *The expectation is that you will be live at all three sessions and an active member of this coaching cohort. Stipends available. Learn more at www.mmsa.org/acres<https://t.e2ma.net/click/ym9sre/q0q58r/asxklv>.
Sessions meet on Tuesdays from 10 AM - 12 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on March 23rd, April 13th, and May 4th. Register at https://tinyurl.com/registeracres<https://t.e2ma.net/click/ym9sre/q0q58r/qkyklv>
