STEM Career Choice to Teach
Thu, October 25, 4:20 to 5:30pm, Kingsgate Conference Center, Mt. Storm (Room 140)Session Submission Type: Panel Presentation
Abstract
There is a lack of highly-qualified STEM teachers entering teaching fields currently. This panel addresses findings from our study to examine what influences STEM scholars to choose secondary teaching or another career choice. Issues emerge regarding STEM teacher recruitment, first-hand discussions of the students experiences and choices, and faculty discussions about how the project has aided in recruiting qualified teachers to the STEM secondary teaching field.
