| This professional development teacher initiative is funded through the National Science Foundation Elmhurst University’s Noyce STEM Teacher Scholar Program. The purpose of the event will be to showcase STEM teaching for all educational levels PK-12 and celebrate STEM teaching and learning. A special focus is being placed on content area literacy and culturally relevant practices in STEM teaching. We anticipate that approximately 100 local preservice and inservice teachers, administrators and college/university faculty will attend this STEM-tastic Showcase of teaching. Attendees will have time before, during and after presentations to engage with vendors and resource stations about classroom STEM resources from Flinn Scientific, Morton Arboretum, and the DuPage Co. Regional Office of Education STEM Squad. Anderson Books will provide each participant with a 20% coupon to purchase any books or text resources that the audience may want to purchase after they engage in presentations.
