Details: Project Based Instruction is offered on the premise that project-based instruction engages learners in exploring authentic, sustainable, and meaningful questions. Project-based learning promotes equitable and diverse participation, student-centered engagement in learning, and application of core science and mathematical concepts and principles to daily life. A number of the major themes of the STEMteach program --integration of mathematics and science content; infusion of technology in representation, analysis, modeling, assessment, and contextualization of content; immersion in intensive field-based experiences; and a focus on designing equitable learning environments --are synthesized as the students develop an intellectually challenging project-based instructional unit.
