MSPnet Academy

MSPnet Academy

The MSPnet Academy will include a series of Webinars from leaders in the MSP community and beyond on topics that will address STEM teaching and learning, policy, and professional development. Each Webinar will be followed with a two-week online discussion with the presenter. Webinars will be capped at 100 attendees but will subsequently be archived on the site.

Webinar Follow-up Discussion

"Professional Learning Communities for Mathematics/Science Education Improvement: What Do We Know?"

Barbara Miller, Center Director, Education Development Center, Learning and Teaching Division
Joan Pasley, Sr. Research Associate, Horizon Research, Inc.

This webinar will consider what we know about professional learning communities focused on improving STEM teaching and learning (STEM PLCs). The Math and Science Partnership Knowledge Management and Dissemination project has collected and synthesized recent MSP research as well as the insights of experienced practitioners utilizing STEM PLCs. This session will feature what has been learned about this area as well as give participants opportunity to reflect on their own experiences with designing and implementing STEM PLCs.
