Example Schedule of International STEM Studio

Why should you attend?

International STEM Studio is a unique opportunity for educators

from around the world to come together and learn how to make

their classrooms active, student-centered environments. The 5-day

STEM Studio will be held at TGR Foundation’s Learning Lab in

Anaheim, California. Educators will engage in hands-on activities

that promote inquiry-based learning and encourage critical

thinking in their students.

Educators that have had success in their teaching careers and

are ready to develop student-centered teaching practices for

their classroom are ideal candidates. The primary content focus

of this training is the integration of Science, Technology,

Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Applicants should either

have experience in STEM teaching or will be teaching

STEM classes at their school in the near future.

Day 1: Introduction to active, student-centered teaching.

Days 2-3: Take part in student-centered activites and reflect on practice.

Day 4: Educators will apply what they learned to a lesson plan they

currently teach.

Day 5: Receive peer feedback on lesson plan and prepare for

implementation at your home school.

A unique aspect of this training includes developing an action plan to ensure you are able to apply what you learn at

your own school. TGR Foundation is committed to supporting educators in achieving this transfer of teaching practice,

for themselves and other educators. We will prepare you to make a positive impact on the learning at your school!
