PK-12 Integrated STEM Education Endorsement Certification (Graduate Specialization)
Beginning Fall 2021, candidates with an initial certification can add on an endorsement in integrated stem education to add a credential to leverage STEM education in classroom and in settings in which students are engaged in creative science and engineering curricula. Candidates will learn the latest makerspace and technology-enriched strategies to effectively design and deliver STEM education across all disciplines. In four graduate courses, currently certified teachers can be prepared for today’s STEM learning and technology-enhanced instruction.
