  Hoosier STEM Academy - Teachers dual Credit

  
  

  The Hoosier STEM Academy is a partnership amongBall State University,IUPUI, Purdue University, and Valparaiso University to provide continuing education STEM programs secondary teachers.

  Hoosier STEM Teachers

  Indiana STEM teachers who are teaching dual credit courses and need opportunities to complete graduate STEM courses may participate in the Academy.  Courses are designed specifically to meet the needs of Indiana high school teachers, including courses that use online, blended, and/or distance education instructional designs,as well as traditional face-to-face options.  STEM teachers who wish to participate must currently teacher in underserved Indiana school corporations oranIndiana school experiencing a shortage of qualified STEM teachers.

  Upon completion of a course with a grade of C or higher,participants will receive a $1375 stipend to help cover  the cost of tuition, fees,and/or materials up to 15 credit hours.   All participants in the Hoosier STEM Academy Mentoring Conference in June 2019

  Both programs within the Hoosier STEM Academy are now launching their 2018-19 programs.  For more information on how to apply and register for courses at one of the partner institutions, please contact Kizmin Jones at kmjones4@bsu.edu

  Princeton High School,Cincinnati,OH
  

  Join the fun this summer in Cincinnati, OH where you will learn the basics of Materials Science Technology as taught at the high school level. During this cost-free, week-long camp, you will work hands-on with metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites.  Participating teachers will leave with a comprehensive series of low/no cost laboratory demonstrations in applied science to use in chemistry, physics, math, technology, and industrial arts.   You will also have an opportunity to earn 4 CEU credits through the ASM’s Education Department. 

  “I've attended several PD - by far this was the BEST training I've ever attended. I gain so much knowledge - at the end of the training - I felt empowered, enlighten and motivated! I felt totally prepared to begin the new school year!”

  “Every science instructor should attend this course. It is top-notch in all respects, and is incredibly helpful for teaching students and simply encouraging as a teacher. This is not only because of the knowledge, but the content is very accessible and enjoyable!”

  “Through the lab activities and discussion sessions, I was able to reflect on my current teaching practices and find ways to make 8th grade physical science more meaningful for the students.”
